Usage 3: cdf [-v] -t2z statname t params

This program does various conversions using the cumulative distribution
function (cdf) of certain canonical probability functions.  The optional
'-v' indicates to be verbose -- this is for debugging purposes, mostly.

Usage 1: Converts a statistic 't' to a tail probability.
Usage 2: Converts a tail probability 'p' to a statistic.
Usage 3: Converts a statistic 't' to a N(0,1) value (or z-score)
         that has the same tail probability.

The parameter 'statname' refers to the type of distribution to be used.
The numbers in the params list are the auxiliary parameters for the
particular distribution.  The following table shows the available
distribution functions and their parameters:
