Generating by inverting function
Hello, I am trying to generate random survival times by inverting the function,  S(t)= exp(b*F(t)), where b is constant and F(t) is some cumulative distribution function, let say that F(t) is cdf of normal distribution or any others distributions.   as we know that S(t) has uniform distribution on  (0,1) so we can write that U= exp(b*F(t)), where U is uniform (0,1). Now to generat the time t, we
