C# equivalent of Excel's TINV function

Question

I am porting over some code from Microsoft Excel to C#. The Excel expression uses the TINV function. Is there an equivalent function in C# or .NET? If not, what C# code is necessary to reimplement this function?

Answer 1

If you are using .NET 4.0 you can leverage the Chart class found in the System.Web.DataVisualization assembly (you will also need to add System.Web). E.G:

var chart = new System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart();
double result = chart.DataManipulator.Statistics.InverseTDistribution(.05, 15);
