StatsNCTPDF (x, df, d)

The StatsNCTPDF function returns the probability distribution function of the noncentral Student-T distribution. df is the degrees of freedom (positive integer) and d is the noncentrality measure.

f(x;n,δ)=nn/2n!2neδ2/2(n+x2)n/2Γ(n2){2δx1F1(n2+1;32;δ2x22(n+x2))(n+x2)Γ(n+12)+1F1(n+12;12;δ2x22(n+x2))(n+x2)Γ(n2+1)}\displaystyle f(x ; n, \delta)=\frac{n^{n / 2} n!}{2^{n} e^{\delta^{2} / 2}\left(n+x^{2}\right)^{n / 2} \Gamma\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)}\left\{\frac{\sqrt{2} \delta x_{1} F_{1}\left(\frac{n}{2}+1 ; \frac{3}{2} ; \frac{\delta^{2} x^{2}}{2\left(n+x^{2}\right)}\right)}{\left(n+x^{2}\right) \Gamma\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}+\frac{{ }_{1} F_{1}\left(\frac{n+1}{2} ; \frac{1}{2} ; \frac{\delta^{2} x^{2}}{2\left(n+x^{2}\right)}\right)}{\sqrt{\left(n+x^{2}\right)} \Gamma\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)}\right\}
