Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

random_student_t (n)
random_student_t(n,m)

Description

Returns a Student random variate t(n), with n>0. Calling random_student_t with a second argument m, a random sample of size m will be simulated.

There are two algorithms implemented for this function, the one to be used can be selected giving a certain value to the global variable random_student_t_algorithm, which defaults to ratio.
