Constructor Detail

ChiSqrDistribution

public ChiSqrDistribution(double dgr)

Constructs a chi-squared distribution.

Parameters:

dgr - degrees of freedom.

Method Detail

getDegreesOfFreedom

public double getDegreesOfFreedom()

Returns the degrees of freedom.

probability

public double probability(double X)

Probability density function of a chi-squared distribution.

Specified by:

probability in class ProbabilityDistribution

Returns:

the probability that a stochastic variable x has the value X, i.e. P(x=X).

cumulative

public double cumulative(double X)

Cumulative chi-squared distribution function.

Specified by:

cumulative in class ProbabilityDistribution

Returns:

the probability that a stochastic variable x is less then X, i.e. P(x<X).

inverse

public double inverse(double probability)

Inverse of the cumulative chi-squared distribution function.

Specified by:

inverse in class ProbabilityDistribution

Returns:

the value X for which P(x<X).
