normal (Gaussian) Yes -
But we don't - yet- have the *inverse* normal distribution - but I am just adding some more distributions (inverse gamma and inverse chi squared) and I might add this one too if there is demand. It's not trivial, but seems to have been studied and there are some published implementations that could probably be adapted quite easily for the Boost.Math multi-precision format.
Hi Paul, I coded up an inverse gaussian years ago for use with an LHS (latin hypercube sampling) program. I attach the files though regrettably I didn't make a note of where the coefficients came from (probably from the original LHS Fortran 77 application). Don't know if they're any help but thought I'd send them along. -- Noel
