ASA243
CDF of the noncentral T Distribution


ASA243 is a MATLAB library which computes the cumulative density function (CDF) of the noncentral Student's T probability density function, by Russell Lenth.

ASA243 is Applied Statistics Algorithm 243. Source code for many Applied Statistics Algorithms is available through STATLIB.
