The Non-Central Chi-Square Distribution

Syntax

dnchisq(x, df)
pnchisq(x, df)
qnchisq(x, df)
rnchisq(x, df)

Description

These functions provide information about the non-central chi-square distribution with df degrees of freedom. dnchisq gives the density, pnchisq gives the distribution function qnchisq gives the quantile function and rnchisq generates random deviates.

The non-central chi-square distribution with n degrees-of-freedom has density

f(x) = 1 / (2^(n/2) Gamma(n/2)) x^(n/2-1) e^-x/2

((Equations will(?) come with HTML 3.x ))
for x >= 0.
