R: The Student-t Distribution

StudentT {brms} | R Documentation

## The Student-t Distribution

### Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Student-t distribution with location `mu`, scale `sigma`, and degrees of freedom `df`.

### Usage

    dstudent_t(x, df, mu = 0, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)

    pstudent_t(q, df, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

    qstudent_t(p, df, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

    rstudent_t(n, df, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

### Arguments

`x, q` | Vector of quantiles.
`df` | Vector of degrees of freedom.
`mu` | Vector of location values.
`sigma` | Vector of scale values.
`log, log.p` | Logical; If `TRUE`, values are returned on the log scale.
`lower.tail` | Logical; If `TRUE` (default), return P(X <= x). Else, return P(X > x) .
`p` | Vector of probabilities.
`n` | Number of draws to sample from the distribution.
