nctinv
              Inverse of the non-central -cumulative distribution function (iCDF).
For each element of p, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF) of the noncentral -distribution with df degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter mu. The size of x is the common size of p, df, and mu. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.
 nctinv uses Newton’s method to converge to the solution.
Further information about the noncentral -distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution
