%N A320842 Regular triangle whose rows are the coefficients of the Dominici expansion of f(t,x) = (1/2)*(1 - t^2)^(-x) with respect to t.
%C A320842 It appears that the first column (7, 127, 4369, ...) is from the sequence A002067.
%C A320842 It appears that the diagonal (3, 30, 630, ...) is from the sequence A007019.
%C A320842 It appears as though the unsigned row sum (10, 280, 15400, ...) is from the sequence A025035.
%C A320842 It appears as though the alternating sign row sum (sum(7, -3) = 4, sum(-127, 123, -30) = -34, ...) is from the sequence A002105.
%C A320842 This triangular array arises as the coefficients from terms in the inverse expansion of the function f(t,x) = (1/2)*(1 - t^2)^(-x) with respect to t evaluated at t = 0 for even values of the operation, using a method of Dominici's (nested derivatives, referenced below).
%C A320842 Without proof, appears to be related to computing the 'critical t-value' of Student's t-distribution. (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).

%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.
