Is there any built-in function in Java to compute N(z)?

Is there any built-in function in Java to compute N(z)?

Postby atiq761 on Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:59 am

Hi guys,

I'm writing one simple program but it needs to calculate the N(z) value. N(z) is the probability that a random number drawn from a standard normal distribution is less than z.

In excel the formula to calculate this is =Normsdist().

How can I do this calculation in Java? Any built-in function for this? Please give me some suggestions!

Thanks.

mmmm

I dont know any built-in functions for N(z) of java

so maybe you should start thinking how to develop the function.

I remember that i used a printed table in high school so i cant help you with the math stuff either

if you find the math equation maybe i could help.
