ChiDistribution Class

Represents a chi distribution.

[SerializableAttribute]
public class ChiDistribution : ContinuousDistribution
Inheritance
Object  →  Distribution  →  ContinuousDistribution  →  ChiDistribution

Remarks

The square root of the sum of the squares of n independent normal variables with zero mean and unit variance has a chi distribution with n degrees of freedom. This means it also describes the StandardDeviation of samples taken from a normal distribution.

The chi distribution is closely related to the ChiSquareDistribution. If X has a chi distribution then X2 has a chi-square distribution with the same degrees of freedom.

Two special cases of the chi distribution are worth noting. The RayleighDistribution is a chi distribution with two degrees of freedom. The MaxwellDistribution is a chi distribution with three degrees of freedom.

Constructors

ChiDistribution Constructs a new Chi Squared distribution.
