      2 {{alias}}( x, v )
      3     Evaluates the probability density function (PDF) for a Student's t
      4     distribution with degrees of freedom `v` at a value `x`.
      5 
      6     If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
      7 
      8     If provided a non-positive value for `v`, the function returns `NaN`.
