/**
* Returns the median for a Fréchet distribution with shape `alpha`, scale `s`, and location `m`.
*
* @param {PositiveNumber} alpha - shape parameter
* @param {PositiveNumber} s - scale parameter
* @param {number} m - location parameter
* @returns {number} median
*
* @example
* var y = median( 5.0, 2.0, 0.0 );
* // returns ~2.152
*
* @example
* var y = median( 5.0, 2.0, -5.0 );
* // returns ~-2.848
*
* @example
* var y = median( 1.0, 1.0, 0.0 );
* // returns ~1.443
*
* @example
* var y = median( NaN, 1.0, 0.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var y = median( 1.0, NaN, 0.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var y = median( 1.0, 1.0, NaN );
* // returns NaN
