T Distribution
The t distribution (also known as Student’s t distribution) is a statistical distribution that is used when a Gaussian distribution is not applicable. With larger sample sizes, the t distribution approaches a Gaussian distribution; with smaller sample sizes, the t distribution is more leptokurtic. The standard deviation of a t distribution with less than an infinite sample size is less than that of the Gaussian distribution.
