1Math::CDF -- Generate probabilities and quantiles from several
2 statistical probability functions
3
4This module provides cumulative probabilities [P(X <= x)] and
5quantiles [given p, returns x such that P(X <= x) = p] from several
6statistical probability distributions.

8This package provides a perl interface to DCDFLIB, a set of C functions
9written by Barry W. Brown, James Lovato and Kathy Russell of the
10Department of Biomathematics at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson
11Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. DCDFLIB code is included in this module
12distribution with permission of its authors.

14Please read the README for DCDFLIB provided in the /cdflib subdirectory
15of the Math::CDF distribution. In particular please notice in that
16document that some DCDFLIB routines might not be properly included in
17commercial applications.
