An approximation to student's t-distribution

Abstract

Three equations relate Student's t-distribution to standard normal distribution with maximum error of less than 0.8 percent. First equation, used for degrees of freedom (v) greater than 2, expresses t variable in terms of standard normal variable z. For v=1 and 2, second and third equations express t exactly in terms of probability P.
