hello,
i have:
f[x_]=(0.014999775454701741*E^(5.264*x) +
E^(2.632*x)*(-0.012692488700608462 - 0.14964297032258167*x))/
(12.579644604014753 + 7.102251209677398*E^(2.632*x) + E^(5.264*x))
g[t_]:=NIntegrate[ UnitStep[t-f[x]] PDF[ NormalDistribution[0,1/2],x],
{x,-Infinity,Infinity} ]
g[0] runs for a very long time before forcing the kernel to quit, let
alone FindRoot[g[t]==0.25,{t,-1,1}]
Note that f[x]PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1/2],x] integrates to 0 and i
virtually zero outside [-2,2]
I use Mathematica 5.2/Ubuntu/4GB/IntelCoreDuo2
any recommandation?
thanks!
