Hello everyone,

I have been becoming interested in noncentral distributions, namely
those of the t, F, and chi sq distributions.  I would guess that there
is a way in S-Plus to derive the quantiles of these distributions if one
knows the degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter value.
However, I have been unable to locate information on how one would go
about finding these quantiles.  Is there even a way to do this in S
Plus?  If not what would other options be to obtaining these values?

I'm using S-Plus 2000 Professional on Windows 98SE.
Thanks for any help and have a nice day,
Ken
