Approximation of the inverse Poisson cumulative distribution function
- Abstract:
-
New approximations for the inverse of the incomplete gamma function are derived, and these are used to develop efficient evaluations of the inverse Poisson cumulative distribution function. An asymptotic approximation based on the standard Normal approximation is particularly good for CPUs with MIMD cores, while for GPUs and other hardware with vector units a second asymptotic approximation based on Temme’s approximation of the incomplete gamma function is more efficient due to conditional br...
