that implement algorithms for distributions that do not have a closed form
of the quantile function.
Using general software, the equation for the required quantile function is
written into the code that computes event times. It is helpful to create a func-
tion that does this for each type of distribution and to call that function in
the code. In spreadsheets, the formula (see Table3.14) is written into the cells
of the column where that event’s times are calculated. If the chosen spread-
sheet software allows for creating user-dened functions, then it is helpful
to do so for each type of time-to-event equation that will be used. ...
