chiSquaredDistribution -- chi-squared distribution

Synopsis

Description

The chi-squared distribution, the distribution of the sum of n squares of independent normally distributed random variables.

i1 : X = chiSquaredDistribution 5

o1 = chi2(5)

o1 : ContinuousProbabilityDistribution
 
i2 : density_X 2

o2 = .138369165806865

o2 : RR (of precision 53)
 
i3 : probability_X 3

o3 = .300014164121372

o3 : RR (of precision 53)
 
i4 : quantile_X 0.4
