We are hardly likely to know what those are in Excel. Possibly pt and qt,
but see help.search("Student t distribution") for where to look for
what R
provides.
I also do not know what Chauvenet's criterion has to do with Student's
t,
and
http://www.me.umn.edu/education/courses/me8337/chauvenet.txt
states that the latter would be incorrect.

Hello all... I am really new to statistics and I am trying to figure out a way to apply Chauvenet's criterion using the t-distribution on a set of numbers in perl. I was unable to find a TDIST and TINV function for perl. I am getting these functions from Excel. So, I figured that I would install R and call it from perl, overkill for what I need I know. I am having a hard time figuring out how to mimick the Excel TDIST and TINV functions in R. Can somebody give me a hand with this? Thanks in advance. -- Justace Clutter <prophecy at corpranet.net>
