TDIST

TDIST survival function of the Student t-distribution

Synopsis

TDIST(x,dof,tails)

Arguments

x: number

dof: number of degrees of freedom

tails: 1 or 2

Description

The survival function is 1 minus the cumulative distribution function.

This function is Excel compatible for non-negative x.

Note

If dof < 1 this function returns a #NUM! error. If tails is neither 1 or 2 this function returns a #NUM! error. The parameterization of this function is different from what is used for, e.g., NORMSDIST. This is a common source of mistakes, but necessary for compatibility.
