摘要
The inversion of cumulative distribution functions is an important topic in statistics, probability theory and econometrics, in particular for computing percentage points of the distribution functions. The numerical inversion of these distributions needs accurate starting values, and for the standard distributions powerful asymptotic formulas can be used to obtain these values. It is explained how a uniform asymptotic expansions of a standard form representing several well-known distribution functions can be used for the asymptotic inversion of these functions. As an example we consider the inversion of the hyperbolic cumulative distribution function.
