This is the only function I searched that I did not find anywhere on the Internet. This function calculates standard normal cumulative distribution for a particular value. This is NORMSDIST(x) in MS-Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc program.



<?

function normalDist($zScore) {

    $p = floatval(0.2316419);

    $b1 = floatval(0.319381530);

    $b2 = floatval(-0.356563782);

    $b3 = floatval(1.781477937);

    $b4 = floatval(-1.821255978);

    $b5 = floatval(1.330274429);

    $t = 1/(1 + ($p * floatval($zScore)));

    $zx = (1/(sqrt(2 * pi())) * (exp(0 - pow($zScore, 2)/2)));



    $px = 1 - floatval($zx) * (($b1 * $t) + ($b2 * pow($t, 2)) + ($b3 * pow($t, 3)) + ($b4 * pow($t, 4)) + ($b5 * pow($t,5)));

    return $px;

}

?>
