In Depth: How the Metalog Workbooks Work
An in-depth explanation of how the Metalogs workbooks work -- for those who may wish to customize these workbooks, incorporate them into other applications, or who are just plain curious. It covers how the a-coefficients are calculated (including the specific Excel formulas and their location); the overall flow of calculations; feasibility checking; error messages; closed-form moments calculations; regularization calculations; simulation calculations; and Newton's method for inverting the quantile function to find CDF-probability y given x.
