Dear HS,

❝ Oh, I took these boots on many years ago. And they got muddy almost immediatelly. I tried to get a numerical approximation of the cdf of the t-distribution which lead me to the gamma-function and headaches.

❝ Finally I ended up with numerical approximations.[1,2]


Let me highfive you for this. I did the same, in C, and it took me quite some time, only to find out later that C actually comes with a beautiful function called lgamma which does it and returns the logarithm. I wasted a good part of my youth reinventing the wheel it seems :angry:

❝ BTW, nitpicking Diletti’s Table 1[6] (power 70%, T/R=1, CV=7.5%) and nQuery 7 give n=4, whilst my R code, StudySize 2.0.1, and FARTSSIE 1.6 come up with n=6. Now what? Go with a democratic vote of 3:2 for 6?


Two solutions:
  1. Ask dlabes
  2. Get your power from a program that bases its evaluation on brute force rather than on numerical integration.
EM.

I’m all in favor of the democratic principle
that one idiot is as good as one genius, but I draw the line
when someone takes the next step and concludes
that two idiots are better than one genius.    Leo Szilard
