[R] Inverse Student t-value

[Andre]

Hi Duncan,

Let me explain again, I just need a manual expression for inverse student t
value.

You could go to web page
http://www.danielsoper.com/statcalc3/calc.aspx?id=10

That's inverse student t value calculator. Do you know a manual expression
use it.

Cheers!
