The “rt” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Generates random numbers from a Student’s t-distribution.

• General Class: Random Number Generation

• Required Argument(s):

• n: The number of random values to generate.

• df: The degrees of freedom.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• ncp: The non-centrality parameter. The default is 0.

• Example:

• # Generate 100 random values from a t-distribution with 10 degrees of freedom
  random_values <- rt(n = 100, df = 10)
  print(random_values)

• In this example, the rt function is used to generate 100 random values from a Student’s t-distribution with 10 degrees of freedom. The generated values are then printed to the console.
