(conj.) Critical t-value t_(v, beta) is equal to: sqrt((v/(1-S^2)) - v) where S = (1/2)*Sum_{k>=1} (D^(2*k-2)[f]_(0)*(1/(2*k-1)!)*(B(1/2, v/2)*(1-2*beta))^(2*k-1)); where (1 - beta) is the confidence interval 'atta' (for a one-tailed distribution such that 'cumulative probability' = t_atta, where beta = 1-atta), x = 1 - (v/2), v: degrees of freedom, B(1/2, v/2) = gamma(1/2)*gamma(v/2)/gamma(1/2 + v/2), D^(2*k - 2)[f]_(0) is a polynomial function of 'x' whose coefficients are the terms of this sequence as computed using a method of Dominici's on f(t,x) with respect to t (referenced below). %H A320842 Diego Dominici, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/S0161171203303291">Nested derivatives: a simple method for computing series expansions of inverse functions</a>, International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 58, Pages 3699-3715. %H A320842 Wikipedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-distribution">Student's t-distribution</a> %e A320842 Given D^k[f]_(b) = (d/dt [f(t)*D^(k-1)[f](t)])_t = b where D^0[f](b) = 1, then for f(t,x) = (1/2)*(1 - t^2)^(-x) where f(0) = 1/2 one obtains: D^2[f]_(0) = -x/2, D^4[f]_(0) = (x/4)*(7*x - 3), D^6[f]_(0) = -(x/8)*(127*x^2 - 123*x + 30), etc., where b is an arbitrary constant. %e A320842 Triangle begins: %e A320842 1; %e A320842 7, 3; %e A320842 127, 123, 30; %e A320842 4369, 6822, 3579, 630; %e A320842 243649, 532542, 439899, 162630, 22680; %e A320842 20036983, 56717781, 64697499, 37155267, 10735470, 1247400; %e A320842 2280356863, 7959325221, 11656842609, 9165745647, 4079027880, 973580580, 97297200; %e A320842 ... %Y A320842 Cf.
