Post subject:  Calculating t for Student's t test

Is there a function in alglib to generate the value of 't' given the desired confidence level and degrees of freedom? Not quite sure of the standard name for this function.

// get t-test value for df of 100 at 99.5% confidence interval
double t = calc_t(100,0.995);

// t ~ == 2.62589

Many thanks

Jerry

There exists function which calculates inverse of Student's t distribution, you can use it. It is located in the studenttdistr subpackage.
