## Detailed Description

(Approximate) Student t density with linear function of mean value

The internal epdf of this class is of the type of a Gaussian (enorm). However, each conditioning is trying to assure the best possible approximation by taking into account the zeta function. See [] for reference.

Perhaps a moment-matching technique?

## Member Function Documentation

void bdm::mlstudent::condition | ( | const vec & | cond | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Set value of `rvc` . Result of this operation is stored in `epdf` use function `_ep` to access it.

Reimplemented from bdm::mlnorm< ldmat, enorm >.

void bdm::mlnorm< ldmat , enorm >::from_setting | ( | const Setting & | set | ) | `[inline, virtual, inherited]`

Load from structure with elements:.

             { class = "mpdf_offspring",
               rv = {class="RV", names=(...),}; // RV describing meaning of random variable
               rvc= {class="RV", names=(...),}; // RV describing meaning of random variable in condition
               // elements of offsprings
             }
