function x = tdis_inv (p, a)
% PURPOSE: returns the inverse (quantile) at x of the t(n) distribution
%---------------------------------------------------
% USAGE: x = tdis_inv(p,n)
% where: p = a vector of probabilities 
%        n = a scalar dof parameter
%---------------------------------------------------
% RETURNS:
%        a vector of tinv at each element of x of the t(n) distribution      
% --------------------------------------------------
% SEE ALSO: tdis_cdf, tdis_rnd, tdis_pdf, tdis_prb
