;+ ; NAME: ; MPNORMTEST ; ; AUTHOR: ; Craig B. Markwardt, NASA/GSFC Code 662, Greenbelt, MD 20770 ; craigm@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov ; UPDATED VERSIONs can be found on my WEB PAGE: ; http://cow.physics.wisc.edu/~craigm/idl/idl.html ; ; PURPOSE: ; Compute the probability of a given normally distributed Z value ; ; MAJOR TOPICS: ; Curve and Surface Fitting, Statistics ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; PROB = MPNORMTEST(Z, [/CLEVEL, /SLEVEL ]) ; ; DESCRIPTION: ; ; The function MPNORMTEST() computes the probability for the ; magnitude of a value drawn from the normal distribution to equal or ; exceed the given value Z. This can be used for confidence testing ; of a measured value obeying the normal distribution. ; ; P_NORM(ABS(X) > Z) = PROB ; ; In specifying the returned probability level the user has two ; choices: ; ; * return the confidence level when the /CLEVEL keyword is passed; ; OR ; ; * return the significance level (i.e., 1 - confidence level) when ; the /SLEVEL keyword is passed (default). ; ; Note that /SLEVEL and /CLEVEL are mutually exclusive. ; ; INPUTS: ; ; Z - the value to best tested. Z should be drawn from a normal ; distribution with zero mean and unit variance. If a given ; quantity Y has mean MU and standard deviation STD, then Z can ; be computed as Z = (Y-MU)/STD. ; ; RETURNS: ; ; Returns a scalar or vector of probabilities, as described above, ; and according to the /SLEVEL and /CLEVEL keywords. ; ; KEYWORD PARAMETERS: ; ; SLEVEL - if set, then PROB describes the significance level ; (default). ; ; CLEVEL - if set, then PROB describes the confidence level. ; ; EXAMPLES: ; ; print, mpnormtest(5d, /slevel) ; ; Print the probability for the magnitude of a randomly distributed ; variable with zero mean and unit variance to exceed 5, as a ; significance level. ; ; REFERENCES: ; ; Algorithms taken from CEPHES special function library, by Stephen ; Moshier.
