Simple approximations of some statistical functions
Abstract
Possibilities are considered to simplify the computation of several statistical functions used to test statistical hypotheses when processing observations: the inverse normal distribution, the Student's t-distribution, and the criterion for rejecting outliers. For these three cases, simple approximation expressions are proposed for the quantiles of these statistical distributions, which are accurate enough for most practical applications.
