Interactive FAQ
What is the difference between invnorm and the standard normal cumulative distribution function (CDF)?
Invnorm is the inverse of the standard normal CDF. The CDF gives the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to a certain value, while invnorm gives the value that corresponds to a certain probability.
