Ever wonder how Standard Normal and Student-t Distribution z-tables are generated?

Introduction

This program shows how to generate z-tables for Standard Normal Distributions and Student-t Distributions. It also shows how to generate the z-values for specific probabilities from those distributions without using any special libraries.

I have tested the program using Python 2.7.10 and 3.5.

Discussion

The goal is to show how to solve the probability density functions (PDFs) and use those solutions to approximate the area under a curve in order to obtain the z-value or, in the case of the z-value lookup, show how to do a binary search over the probabilities to find the desired z-value.

It is meant to be a learning tool for those that are interested in how the tables are generated. For production code use the scipy and numpy packages. They are optimized and much better debugged.

I explicitly chose to use the trapezoidal rule to approximate the definite integral representing the area under the curve because it is simple, reasonably fast and accurate enough. You could, of course, choose any other approximation method (like Simpson's Rule).

I also chose the Lanczos approximation for solving the gamma function for the t-distribution PDF. The algorithm for the approximation was obtained from page 214 of "Numerical Recipes in C, 2nd Edition".

Here is an example that shows you how to generate the z-table that contains the probabilities for the standard normal distribution using the default parameters. This is the table that you often see in text books.

Here is an example that shows how to determine the z values for 95%, 98% and 99% probabilities using the Standard Normal Distribution and various Student-t distributions. It shows how the distributions converge on the SND values as the DOF increases.

Estimate the Area Under the Curve using the Trapezoidal Rule

This function shows how to estimate the area under the curve using the Trapezoidal Rule. There many other methods available calculating area under the curve for definite integrals but this one is reasonably fast and sufficiently accurate for this purpose.

def area_under_curve(x1, x2, intervals, fct, *args, **kwargs):
    '''
    Calculate the approximate area under a curve using trapezoidal
    approximation.

    It breaks the interval between x1 and x2 into trapezoids whose
    width is fixed (proportional to how the interval is sliced). The
    height of each rectangle is the pdf function value for x at the
    start of the interval. The accumulation of the areas provides an
    estimate of the area under the curve.

    The greater the number of intervals the better the estimate is at
    the cost of performance.
    '''
    assert x2 > x1  # just a sanity check
    assert intervals > 1  # another sanity check
    
    total_area = 0.0
    width = (float(x2) - float(x1)) / float(intervals)
    
    x = float(x1)
    py = float(fct(x, *args, **kwargs))
    for i in range(intervals):
        y = float(fct(x, *args, **kwargs))
        rectangle_area = width * y  # area of rectangle at x with height y
        triangle_area = ((y - py) * width) / 2.0  # adjustment based on height change
        total_area += rectangle_area + triangle_area  # trapezoid area
        x += width  # advance to the next edge
        py = y  # remember the previous height
        
    return total_area
