Abstract
In this study, I developed probFunCal2, an advanced web-based calculator for probability distribution functions that complements the original probFunCal by providing comprehensive support for additional probability distributions. The calculator includes binomial, Poisson, exponential, gamma, beta, uniform, Weibull, lognormal, Cauchy, geometric, and negative binomial distributions. For each distribution, probFunCal2 calculates probability density/mass functions (PDF/PMF), cumulative distribution functions (CDF), and inverse cumulative distribution functions (quantiles). The implementation uses sophisticated numerical methods including Stirling's approximation for factorials, continued fraction methods for regularized incomplete beta and gamma functions, and various quantile approximations. The calculator is fully browser-based, supporting both online and offline usage across multiple platforms and devices. This tool provides researchers, students, and practitioners with a robust, accessible platform for statistical computations essential for probability theory, statistical inference, and data analysis.
