Fitting the Distribution of Linear Combinations of t− Variables with more than 2 Degrees of Freedom

The linear combination of Student’s t random variables (RVs) appears in many statistical applications. Unfortunately, the Student’s t distribution is not closed under convolution, thus, deriving an exact and general distribution for the linear combination of K Student’s t RVs is infeasible, which mo...
