dariat: Calculate and draw the area under the t distribution

In dusadrian/statistics: Miscellanea Functions For an Intro Stats Class

Calculate and draw the area under the t distribution

Description

A function similar to "daria", with the only difference it uses the t instead of the z distribution. In addition, the function expects an additional parameter for the degrees of freedom.

Usage

dariat(area, t1, t2, df, draw = FALSE)

Arguments

area	The required area
t1	First t value, in the interval +/- 4
t2	Second t value, in the interval +/- 4
df	Degrees of freedom
draw	Logical; if TRUE, draw the area

Details

In the argument area, the function accepts:

"l", "u", "left" and "under" for the area to the left of z,

"r", "o", "a", "right" "over" and "above" for the area to the right of z

"b" and "between" for the area between two z values.

z values smaller than -4 and greater than +4 are truncated to these values, since the area to the left and to the right of these values is practically equal to zero.

Examples

# for 100 degrees of freedom
dariat("between", -1.96, 1.96, df = 100)

dariat("over", -1, df = 100)

dariat("under", -1, df = 100)

dariat("over", 2, df = 100, draw = TRUE)
