 *  NOTE
 *
 *    Requires the following auxiliary routines:
 *
 *  lgammafn(x) - log gamma function
 *  pnt(x, df, ncp) - the distribution function for
 *            the non-central t distribution
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    The non-central t density is
 *
 *     f(x, df, ncp) =
 *      df^(df/2) * exp(-.5*ncp^2) /
 *      (sqrt(pi)*gamma(df/2)*(df+x^2)^((df+1)/2)) *
 *      sum_{k=0}^Inf  gamma((df + k + df)/2)*ncp^k /
 *              prod(1:k)*(2*x^2/(df+x^2))^(k/2)
 *
 *    The functional relationship
 *
 *     f(x, df, ncp) = df/x *
 *                (F(sqrt((df+2)/df)*x, df+2, ncp) - F(x, df, ncp))
 *
 *    is used to evaluate the density at x != 0 and
 *
 *     f(0, df, ncp) = exp(-.5*ncp^2) /
 *              (sqrt(pi)*sqrt(df)*gamma(df/2))*gamma((df+1)/2)
 *
 *    is used for x=0.
 *
 *    All calculations are done on log-scale to increase stability.
