The Maxwell-Boltzman distribution can be generalized with location
and scale parameters in the usual way. However, the scale
parameter is not typically used since
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <p> is a variable or a parameter; <sigma> is an optional number or parameter that specifies the value of the shape parameter; <loc> is an optional number or parameter that specifies the value of the location parameter; <scale> is an optional positive number or parameter that specifies the value of the scale parameter; <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed Maxwell-Boltzman ppf value is stored; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional. If <sigma> is omitted, it defaults to 1. The location and scale parameters are optional.
