Show affiliationsFotowicz (2006 Metrologia 43 42–5) presented an approximation for computing the coverage interval of the convolution of two Student's t distributions. This approximation appeared to perform well for a limited range of values of the degrees of freedom. In this letter, we provide an eight-line program for exact computation of the coverage interval with no limitations. Several advantages of our approach are noted.
