function x = norminv(p,m,s);
% NORMINV returns inverse cumulative function of the normal distribution
%
% x = norminv(p,m,s);
%
% Computes the quantile (inverse of the CDF) of a the normal 
%    cumulative distribution with mean m and standard deviation s
%    default: m=0; s=1;
% p,m,s must be matrices of same size, or any one can be a scalar.
