## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{p} =} mvtpdf (@var{x}, @var{sigma}, @var{nu})
## Compute the probability density function of the multivariate Student's t distribution.
##
## @subheading Arguments
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{x} are the points at which to find the probability, where each row corresponds
## to an observation. (@var{n} by @var{d} matrix)
##
## @item
## @var{sigma} is the scale matrix. (@var{d} by @var{d} symmetric positive definite matrix)
##
## @item
## @var{nu} is the degrees of freedom. (scalar or @var{n} vector)
##
## @end itemize
##
## The distribution is assumed to be centered (zero mean).
##
## @subheading Return values
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{p} is the probability density for each row of @var{x}. (@var{n} by 1 vector)
## @end itemize
##
## @subheading Examples
##
## @example
## @group
## x = [1 2];
## sigma = [1.0 0.5; 0.5 1.0];
## nu = 4;
## p = mvtpdf (x, sigma, nu)
