• Behrens Distribution information http://jbcolvin.fastmail.fm/behrens/
  The Behrens distribution is similar to the t distribution, hover in the two sample problem the Behrens distribution can handle unequal variance situations while the t distribution relies on various kinds of kludges to approximate unequal variances.  As noted in the readme, I was able to find an efficient method for calculating this distribution and have been made mention on Peter M. Lee's website for his book on Bayesian Statistics.
