student_cdf Cumulative student's t distribution function. Returns the
lower-tail probability of the student's t probability density
function at x, given n degrees of freedom.
student_cdf(n, x)
Example:
student_cdf(3, –3.2) returns
0.0246659214813.
student_icdf Inverse cumulative student's t distribution function. Returns
the value x such that the student's-t lower-tail probability
of x, with n degrees of freedom, is p.
student_icdf(n, p)
Example:
student_icdf(3, 0.0246659214813) returns 3.2.

ALOG Antilogarithm (exponential). This is more accurate than
10^x due to limitations of the power function.
