Return Value
Type:
DoubleThe value of the cumulative distribution function
for the specified value.
The survivor distribution function (SDF)
is the complement of the cumulative distribution function (CDF).
The function gives the probability that a sample from
the distribution will be greater than or equal to
the specified value.
This method is particularly useful for calculating upper
tail probabilities, as round-off error is avoided.
