+## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{x} =} raylinv (@var{p}, @var{sigma})
+## Compute the quantile of the Rayleigh distribution. The quantile is the
+## inverse of the cumulative distribution function.
+##
+## @subheading Arguments
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{p} is the cumulative distribution. The elements of @var{p} must be
+## probabilities.
+##
+## @item
+## @var{sigma} is the parameter of the Rayleigh distribution. The elements
+## of @var{sigma} must be positive.
+## @end itemize
+## @var{p} and @var{sigma} must be of common size or one of them must be
+## scalar.
+##
+## @subheading Return values
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{x} is the quantile of the Rayleigh distribution at each element of
+## @var{p} and corresponding parameter @var{sigma}.
+## @end itemize
+##
+## @subheading Examples
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## p = 0:0.1:0.5;
+## sigma = 1:6;
+## x = raylinv (p, sigma)
+## @end group
+##
+## @group
+## x = raylinv (p, 0.5)
