Function Documentation

double getLeftTaleConfidenceValue	(	const vector< double > &	dist,
		double	p
	)

Returns the left tale confidence value.

Given an estimate (as a list of sorted samples) of a probability distributions, returns the confidence value for a given p-value.

Parameters:

	dist	- distribution estimate.
	p	- the p -value.

Returns:

the confidence value (probability).
