function t = stdtdis_rnd(n,df)
% PURPOSE:
%     returns random draws from the standardized t(n) distribution with unit variance
%     rnd = stdtdis_rnd(n,df)
% 
% USAGE:
%     random = stdtdis_rnd(n,df)
% 
% INPUTS:
%     n = size of vector 
%     df = a scalar dof parameter must be > 2
% 
% OUTPUTS:
%     random = a vector of random draws from the standardized t(n) distribution
