Inversion of the cumulative distribution function is used to generate deviates from Huber's least favourable distribution.

Huber's least favourable distribution is a compound distribution
with gaussian behaviour in the interval (-k
,k
) and
double exponential tails. It is strongly related to Huber's
M-estimator, which represents the maximum likelihood estimator of
the location parameter.
