{{alias}}( v[, options] ) Returns a readable stream for generating pseudorandom numbers drawn from a Student's t distribution. In addition to standard readable stream events, the returned stream emits a 'state' event after internally generating `siter` pseudorandom numbers, which is useful when wanting to deterministically capture a stream's underlying PRNG state. Parameters ---------- v: number Degrees of freedom. options: Object (optional) Options. options.objectMode: boolean (optional) Specifies whether a stream should operate in "objectMode". Default: false. options.encoding: string|null (optional) Specifies how Buffer objects should be decoded to strings. Default: null. options.highWaterMark: integer (optional) Specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer before ceasing to generate additional pseudorandom numbers. options.sep: string (optional) Separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable when a stream is not in "objectMode". Default: '\n'. options.iter: integer (optional) Number of iterations. options.prng: Function (optional) Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for generating uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`. If provided, the `state` and `seed` options are ignored. In order to seed the returned iterator, one must seed the provided `prng` (assuming the provided `prng` is seedable). options.seed: integer|ArrayLikeObject (optional) Pseudorandom number generator seed. The seed may be either a positive unsigned 32-bit integer or, for arbitrary length seeds, an array-like object containing unsigned 32-bit integers. options.state: Uint32Array (optional) Pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the `seed` option is ignored. options.copy: boolean (optional) Boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state. Setting this option to `false` allows sharing state between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option to `true` ensures that a returned iterator has exclusive control over its internal state. Default: true. options.siter: integer (optional) Number of iterations after which to emit the PRNG state. Default: 1e308. Returns ------- stream: ReadableStream Readable stream. stream.PRNG: Function Underlying pseudorandom number generator. stream.seed: Uint32Array|null Pseudorandom number generator seed. stream.seedLength: integer|null Length of generator seed. stream.state: Uint32Array|null Generator state. stream.stateLength: integer|null Length of generator state. stream.byteLength: integer|null Size (in bytes) of generator state. Examples -------- > function fcn( chunk ) { console.log( chunk.toString() ); }; > var opts = { 'iter': 10 }; > var s = {{alias}}( 3.0, opts ); > var o = {{alias:@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink}}( fcn ); > s.pipe( o ); {{alias}}.factory( [v, ][options] ) Returns a function for creating readable streams which generate pseudorandom numbers drawn from a Student's t distribution. If provided distribution parameters, the returned function returns readable streams which generate pseudorandom numbers drawn from the specified distribution. If not provided distribution parameters, the returned function requires that distribution parameters be provided at each invocation. Parameters ---------- v: number (optional) Degrees of freedom. options: Object (optional) Options. options.objectMode: boolean (optional) Specifies whether a stream should operate in "objectMode". Default: false. options.encoding: string|null (optional) Specifies how Buffer objects should be decoded to strings.

Default: true. options.siter: integer (optional) Number of iterations after which to emit the PRNG state. Default: 1e308. Returns ------- fcn: Function Function for creating readable streams. Examples -------- > var opts = { 'objectMode': true, 'highWaterMark': 64 }; > var createStream = {{alias}}.factory( opts ); {{alias}}.objectMode( v[, options] ) Returns an "objectMode" readable stream for generating pseudorandom numbers drawn from a Student's t distribution.
