This function returns a random variate from the Type-1 Gumbel distribution. The Type-1 Gumbel distribution function is,
p(x) dx = a b \exp(-(b \exp(-ax) + ax)) dxfor -\infty < x < \infty.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a Type-1 Gumbel distribution with parameters a and b, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for the Type-1 Gumbel distribution with parameters a and b.
