[ncl-talk] conversion of Z-score to Probability

[Dennis Shea]

If you have calculated the Z-scores, then you must have the *population*
means and standard deviations at each grid point,

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/cdfnor_p.shtml

x         = -1.64485
mean  = 0.0
sd       = 1.0

P = cdfnor_p(x,mean,sd)
print("P="+P)

====
An alternative function is the student-t function. For large 'n' (say,
n>25) the student-t is the Z-score

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/student_t.shtml


 t  = -2.12
 P  = student_t(t, df)   ; P = 0.05
 print(P)

In the unlikely event that you have a Z-score but no idea about size use:

P = student_t(z, 100)
