lyngby_cdf_t

PURPOSE ^

lyngby_cdf_t - Student t distribution

SYNOPSIS ^

function P = lyngby_cdf_t(x,r)

DESCRIPTION ^

 lyngby_cdf_t         - Student t distribution

       function P = lyngby_cdf_t(x,r)

       Input:  x   Value where the function is evaluated
               r   Degrees of freedom

       Output: P   Lower tail area

       Lower tail (cumulated) Student t distribution.

       This function uses an approximation to the t distribution. The
       approximation cannot be used for all values of x and r. For
       the case where the approximation cannot be used the t
       distribution is computed via the incomplete Beta function.
