There was a mistake in the previously sent function. I had hard coded the
values of parameters `nu' and `exi'.
Use this one:
myroot <- function(t, nu, exi, alpha){
fun <- function(t, exi, nu)
(nu+t^2)^(-(nu+1)/2)*exp(((nu+1)*exi*t)/((nu+t^2)^0.5))
res <- alpha - integrate(fun, -Inf, t, nu=nu, exi=exi)$value
return(res)
}
uniroot(myroot, c(-2, 2), nu=2, exi=0.5, alpha=.05)

I think this is what you want:
myroot <- function(t, nu, exi, alpha){
fun <- function(t, exi, nu)
(nu+t^2)^(-(nu+1)/2)*exp(((nu+1)*exi*t)/((nu+t^2)^0.5))
res <- alpha - integrate(fun, -Inf, t, nu=2, exi=0.5)$value
return(res)
}
uniroot(myroot, c(-2, 2), nu=2, exi=0.5, alpha=.05)
Hope this is helpful,
Ravi
