Thank your for opening a PR!
Depending on what your PR does, here are a few things you might want to address in the description:
what are the (breaking) changes that this PR makes?
Fixes MvStudentT distribution random method producing anomalous values #4008 . I am not sure of sampling issues @twiecki is discussing there.
important background, or details about the implementation
Even after the underneath MvNormal.random was fixed in Fix MvNormal.random #4207 , there were still issues with Mv Student random method. Turns out, there was a misformulation at the end of drawing samples. (Reference tfd.MultivariateStudentTLinearOperator and statsmodels.multivariate_t_rvs)
are the changes—especially new features—covered by tests and docstrings?
Yes. I updated the existing test.
