Function Reference: hninv

statistics: x = hninv (p, mu, sigma)

Inverse of the half-normal cumulative distribution function (iCDF).

For each element of p, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF) of the half-normal distribution with location parameter mu and scale parameter sigma. The size of x is the common size of p, mu, and sigma. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Further information about the half-normal distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-normal_distribution

 x1 = hninv (p, 0, 1);
 x2 = hninv (p, 0, 2);
 x3 = hninv (p, 0, 3);
 x4 = hninv (p, 0, 5);
