              Inverse of the generalized Pareto cumulative distribution function (iCDF).
For each element of p, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF) of the generalized Pareto distribution with shape parameter k, scale parameter sigma, and location parameter theta. The size of x is the common size of p, k, sigma, and theta. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.
 When k = 0 and theta = 0, the Generalized Pareto
 is equivalent to the exponential distribution.  When k > 0 and
 theta = k / k the Generalized Pareto is equivalent
 to the Pareto distribution.  The mean of the Generalized Pareto is not finite
 when k >= 1 and the variance is not finite when
 k >= 1/2.  When k >= 0, the Generalized Pareto
 has positive density for x > theta, or, when
 theta < 0, for
 0 <= (x - theta) / sigma <= -1 / k.
