 *
 *	Student's t distribution
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * float t, stdtrf();
 * short k;
 *
 * y = stdtrf( k, t );
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Computes the integral from minus infinity to t of the Student
 * t distribution with integer k > 0 degrees of freedom:
 *
 *                                      t
 *                                      -
 *                                     | |
 *              -                      |         2   -(k+1)/2
 *             | ( (k+1)/2 )           |  (     x   )
 *       ----------------------        |  ( 1 + --- )        dx
 *                     -               |  (      k  )
 *       sqrt( k pi ) | ( k/2 )        |
 *                                   | |
 *                                    -
 *                                   -inf.
 * 
 * Relation to incomplete beta integral:
 *
 *        1 - stdtr(k,t) = 0.5 * incbet( k/2, 1/2, z )
 * where
 *        z = k/(k + t**2).
 *
 * For t < -1, this is the method of computation.  For higher t,
 * a direct method is derived from integration by parts.
 * Since the function is symmetric about t=0, the area under the
 * right tail of the density is found by calling the function
 * with -t instead of t.
 * 
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *                      Relative error:
 * arithmetic   domain     # trials      peak         rms
 *    IEEE      +/- 100      5000       2.3e-5      2.9e-6
