Madan,
How about the QUANTILE function?
y = quantile('<dist>', prob <,shape, location, scale>);
where <dist> specifies a distribution just as for the CDF function.
The shape, location, and scale parameters are optional and specific
to the distribution. Acceptable specifications for the shape,
location, and scale parameters are found in the documentation of
the CDF function.
