In this work, we have taken up some distributions, mostly Weibull family, whose quantile functions could not be obtained using the traditional inversion method. We have solved the same quantile functions by using the inversion method only, with the additional help of transcendental functions like the Lambert W function. The usage of the Lambert W function has helped derive closed-form solutions for mathematical models in many fields, for which explicit or exact solutions were not available and approximation was the only known way of approaching it.
