	# Start: 2008-02-11 - First version.
	# Last:  2009-05-05 - Cleaned up and implemented in the functions library due to faster execution than the corresponding functions in the package 'VGAM', and due to a problem with 'predict(arima())' when using 'VGAM'.
	########### DESCRIPTION: ###########
	# Returns quantile values of the Rayleigh distribution.
	########## DEPENDENCIES: ###########
	#
	############ VARIABLES: ############
	# - 'p' contains the probability values at which the Rayleigh quantile values are to be computed.
	# - 'sigma' is the parameter in the Rayleigh distribution satisfying sigma>0.
