function x = chi2inv(p,v);
%CHI2INV Inverse of the chi-square cumulative distribution function (cdf).
%   X = CHI2INV(P,V)  returns the inverse of the chi-square cdf with V  
%   degrees of freedom at the values in P. The chi-square cdf with V 
%   degrees of freedom, is the gamma cdf with parameters V/2 and 2.   
%
%   The size of X is the common size of P and V. A scalar input
%   functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other input.
