Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

quantile_exp (q,m)

Description

Returns the q-quantile of an Exponential(m) random variable, with m>0; in other words, this is the inverse of cdf_exp. Argument q must be an element of [0,1].

The Exponential(m) random variable is equivalent to the Weibull(1,1/m), therefore when Maxima has not enough information to get the result, a noun form based on the Weibull quantile is returned.
