## @deftypefn {Function File} {} t_inv (@var{x}, @var{n})
## For each component of @var{x}, compute the quantile (the inverse of
## the CDF) at @var{x} of the t (Student) distribution with parameter
## @var{n}.
## @end deftypefn

## For very large n, the "correct" formula does not really work well,
## and the quantiles of the standard normal distribution are used
## directly.
