Meta-analyses and many other workflows make use of the cumulative and inverse cumulative distribution functions for the standard normal distribution and chi-squared distribution with 1 degree of freedom. So we’ve added efficient implementations of these fundamental functions to the expression language: see the new Statistics section in the expression language function docs for details on pnorm
, qnorm
, pchisq1tail
and qchisq1tail
.
The functions pchisq1tail(x)
and qchisq1tail(p)
have been replaced by the more general functions pchisqtail(x,df)
and qchisqtail(p,df)
, where df
is the number of degrees of freedom.
