Class "Td"
Description
The distribution with
df
degrees of
freedom has density
for all real .
It has mean
(for
) and
variance
(for

Objects from the Class
Objects can be created by calls of the form Td(df)
.
This object is a distribution.

Methods
- initialize
signature(.Object = "Td")
: initialize method- df
signature(object = "Td")
: returns the slot df of the parameter of the distribution- df<-
signature(object = "Td")
: modifies the slot df of the parameter of the distribution- ncp
signature(object = "Td")
: returns the slot ncp of the parameter of the distribution- ncp<-
signature(object = "Td")
: modifies the slot ncp of the parameter of the distribution
Ad hoc methods
For R Version <2.3.0
ad hoc methods are provided for slots q
, r
if ncp!=0
;
for R Version >=2.3.0
the methods from package stats are used.
Note
The general non-central
with parameters
= (df, ncp)
is defined as a the distribution of
where
and
are independent random
variables,
, and
is chi-squared, see
rchisq
.
The most used applications are power calculations for -tests:
Let
where
is the
mean
and the sample standard
deviation (
sd
) of which are i.i.d.
.
Then
is distributed as non-centrally
with
df
degrees of freedom and non-centrality parameter
ncp
.

Examples
T <- Td(df = 1) # T is a t distribution with df = 1.
r(T)(1) # one random number generated from this distribution, e.g. -0.09697573
d(T)(1) # Density of this distribution is 0.1591549 for x = 1.
p(T)(1) # Probability that x < 1 is 0.75.
q(T)(.1) # Probability that x < -3.077684 is 0.1.
## in RStudio or Jupyter IRKernel, use q.l(.)(.) instead of q(.)(.)
df(T) # df of this distribution is 1.
df(T) <- 2 # df of this distribution is now 2.
Tn <- Td(df = 1, ncp = 5)
# T is a noncentral t distribution with df = 1 and ncp = 5.
d(Tn)(1) ## from R 2.3.0 on ncp no longer ignored...
