Edgeworth expansions for Student's t-statistic

Three Maple worksheets are availble for the computation
of higher order Edgeworth expansions for Student's t-statistic

1)   Finner-Dickhaus-Chung.mws

       Computation based on Chung (1946)

2)  Finner-Dickhaus-Bartlett-Gayen.mws

      Computation based on Bartlett (1935) and Gayen (1949)

3)  Finner-Dickhaus-Hall.mws

      Computation based on a smooth function approach described in Hall (1992)

PDF files of these Maple Worksheets with output are also available:
