//! Joint Student's t-distribution of Function.
/** If a vector of values \f$F(X)\f$ is jointly distributed according to the t
    distribution with shared center \f$F(M)\f$, scale \f$\sigma\f$, and degrees
    of freedom \f$\nu\f$, then the vector \f$X\f$ is distributed according to
    the F-t distribution, where \f$F\f$ is a one-to-one (strictly monotonic)
    function.

    For a vector \f$X=\{x_1,...,x_N\}\f$ containing \f$N\f$ observations, the
    joint F-t density is given by
    \f[
      p(X \mid M, \sigma, \nu) = \frac{
        \Gamma[(N + \nu) / 2]}{\Gamma[\nu / 2]}
        (\pi \nu)^{-N / 2} \sigma^{-N} J(X)
        \left[1 + \frac{t(X, M, \sigma)^2}{\nu} \right]^{-(N + \nu)/2},
    \f]

    where
    \f[
      J(X) = \left| \prod_{i=1}^N F'(x_i) \right|,
    \f]
    is a normalization factor according to the change of variables technique. 

    \f[
      t(X, M, \sigma)^2 = \frac{S_2(X) - 2 F(M) S_1(X) + N F(M)^2}{\sigma^2},
    \f]

    and the minimally sufficient statistics are
    \f{align*}{
      S_1(X) &= \sum_{i=1}^N F(x_i) \
      S_2(X) &= \sum_{i=1}^N F(x_i)^2.
    \f}

    The degrees of freedom \f$\nu\f$ controls the heaviness of the tails. When
    \f$\nu = 1\f$, the F-t distribution becomes the F-Cauchy distribution. For
    very large \f$\nu\f$, the F-t distribution approaches the F-Normal
    distribution. Set \f$J(X)\f$ values to 1 for the joint t distribution.

    \note The joint t distribution is derived by marginalizing a joint normal
          distribution with the scaled inverse chi-square distribution as a
          prior on the variance. The same distribution is not produced by
          multiplying t distributions.
          For more details, see Gelmen et al. Bayesian Data Analaysis. 3rd edition.
