CharFunTool: The Characteristic Functions Toolbox
CharFunTool consists of a set of algorithms for evaluating selected characteristic functions and algorithms for numerical inversion of the combined and/or compound characteristic functions, used to evaluate the cumulative distribution function (CDF), the probability density function (PDF), and/or the quantile function (QF).
