Abstract
The accuracies of several normalizing transformations of a t distribution with v degrees of freedom are examined for large and small values of v. Expansions of the inverse transformations in terms of powers of v-1 are produced and the first few terms compared with Fisher's general expansion. For small values of v the transformations are used to determine approximate percentage points of t which are then compared with the exact percentage points.
