This function returns a random variate from the Type-2 Gumbel distribution. The Type-2 Gumbel distribution function is,
p(x) dx = a b x^{-a-1} \exp(-b x^{-a}) dxfor 0 < x < \infty.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a Type-2 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-2 Gumbel distribution with parameters a and b.
