Sample M _i when CDF is $F_{{\mathcal{Z}}_i}\left(z\right)$

(a) Take a too high initial guess of M i (default: 1000). Initialize variable b to half of this value.

(a) Randomly select a real number r n∈[ 0,1].

(c) If $F_{{\mathcal{Z}}_i}\left(M_i\right)$ is lower than r n, M i=M i+b, else M i=M i−b. Divide b by 2.

(d) Repeat step (c) until b is below the desired precision (default: 0.000001).
