Is there a way to generate a value from a random CDF probability?
The function:
y = cdf('name',x,A,B)
for a normal distribution returns a probability y given a value x , the mean A , and standard deviation B.
I want to have basically the reverse where the function returns the value x based on the probability y, the mean A , and standard deviation B.
Is there any possible way to do this?
Thanks!
