Student-t distribution parameter estimation

Description

Fits the parameters of the standardized Student-t distribution.

Usage

stdFit(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector of quantiles.
...	parameters parsed to the optimization function nlm.

Value

stdFit returns a list with the following components:

par	The best set of parameters found.
objective	The value of objective corresponding to par.
convergence	An integer code. 0 indicates successful convergence.
message	A character string giving any additional information returned by the optimizer, or NULL. For details, see PORT documentation.
