nctcdf - Noncentral t cumulative distribution function

Syntax

P = nctcdf(X,NU,DELTA)

Description

P = nctcdf(X,NU,DELTA) computes the noncentral t cdf at each of the values in X using the corresponding degrees of freedom in NU and noncentrality parameters in DELTA. X, NU, and DELTA can be vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays that have the same size, which is also the size of P. A scalar input for X, NU, or DELTA is expanded to a constant array with the same dimensions as the other inputs.

Examples

Compare the noncentral t cdf with DELTA = 1 to the t cdf with the same number of degrees of freedom (10).

x = (-5:0.1:5)';
p1 = nctcdf(x,10,1);
p = tcdf(x,10);
plot(x,p,'-',x,p1,'-')
