## usage: lognormal_inv (x [, a, v])
##
## For each element of x, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF)
## at x of the lognormal distribution with parameters a and v. If a
## random variable follows this distribution, its logarithm is normally
## distributed with mean log (a) and variance v.
##
## Default values are a = 1, v = 1.
