z_p is the number z such that Phi(z) = p, where Phi(x) = Integral_{t=-oo..x} (1/sqrt(2*Pi))*exp(-t^2/2)*dt is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution. This sequence gives z_0.995.
This number can also be denoted as probit(0.995), where probit(p) is the inverse function of Phi(x). See the Wikipedia link below.

EXAMPLE
|
If X ~ N(0,1), then P(X<=2.5758293035...) = 0.995, P(X<=-2.5758293035...) = 0.005.
