Hello Listserve:

Has anyone implemented the fast algorithm for generating deviates from the
student's t family in SAS?  The author wrote the GNU library

The algorithm is suppose to generate the variables to use for
Acceptance-Rejection for goodness of fit test for student's t.  My question
is, for those of you who have coded this same algorithm in SAS, how many
random # (from 0 to 1) did you use?
