The mathematical forms of the Student distribution (number of degrees of
freedom, nu) and the Pearson Type VII distribution (degree index, m) are
shown to be identical for the case m = (nu + 1)/2. It is recommended
that this be considered when the Pearson Type VII distribution is used
in astrometry.
