SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the inverse CDF of the Wrapped Cauchy Distribution using Mathematica. The user expresses difficulty due to a lack of statistical knowledge. Another participant suggests that for simulation purposes, generating a Cauchy random variable and taking the remainder mod 1 may suffice, indicating that an explicit inverse CDF may not be necessary for all applications.
