Description

The Student t distribution is a real valued distribution with one parameter n, the number of degrees of freedom.

It has .

`student_t_distribution` public construct/copy/destruct

```
explicit student_t_distribution(RealType n = 1.0);
```
Constructs an student_t_distribution with "n" degrees of freedom.

Requires: n > 0

explicit student_t_distribution(const param_type & param);

Constructs an student_t_distribution from its parameters.

`student_t_distribution` public member functions

```
template<typename URNG> RealType operator()(URNG & urng);
```
Returns a random variate distributed according to the Student t distribution.
```
template<typename URNG> 
  RealType operator()(URNG & urng, const param_type & param) const;
```
Returns a random variate distributed accordint to the Student t distribution with parameters specified by param.
```
RealType n() const;
```
Returns the number of degrees of freedom.
```
RealType min() const;
```
Returns the smallest value that the distribution can produce.
```
RealType max() const;
```
Returns the largest value that the distribution can produce.
```
param_type param() const;
```
Returns the parameters of the distribution.
```
void param(const param_type & param);
```
Sets the parameters of the distribution.
```
void reset();
```
Effects: Subsequent uses of the distribution do not depend on values produced by any engine prior to invoking reset.

`student_t_distribution` friend functions

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  friend std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, 
             const student_t_distribution & td);

Writes a student_t_distribution to a std::ostream.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  friend std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, 
             const student_t_distribution & td);

Reads a student_t_distribution from a std::istream.

friend bool operator==(const student_t_distribution & lhs, 
                       const student_t_distribution & rhs);

Returns true if the two instances of student_t_distribution will return identical sequences of values given equal generators.

friend bool operator!=(const student_t_distribution & lhs, 
                       const student_t_distribution & rhs);

Returns true if the two instances of student_t_distribution will return different sequences of values given equal generators.
