student() defines a one-response Student-t distribution with formulas for location mu, residual scale sigma, and degrees of freedom nu.

Usage

student()

Value

A drm_family object.

Details

The nu parameter uses a log link with a lower bound of 2: nu = 2 + exp(eta_nu). This keeps the fitted distribution in the finite-variance region while still allowing heavy tails.
