Half-t distribution
Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the half-t distribution.
dht(x, nu, sigma = 1, log = FALSE) pht(q, nu, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) qht(p, nu, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) rht(n, nu, sigma = 1)
x, q |
vector of quantiles. |
nu, sigma |
positive valued degrees of freedom and scale parameters. |
log, log.p |
logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p). |
lower.tail |
logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X ≤ x] otherwise, P[X > x]. |
p |
vector of probabilities. |
n |
number of observations. If |
If X follows t distribution parametrized by degrees of freedom ν and scale σ, then |X| follows half-t distribution parametrized by degrees of freedom ν and scale σ.
