The Non-Central Chi-Square Distribution

Usage

--- these are DEPRECATED, use  Xchisq( . , df, ncp) instead ---

dnchisq(x, df, lambda)
pnchisq(q, df, lambda)
qnchisq(p, df, lambda)
rnchisq(n, df, lambda)

Arguments

x,q vector of quantiles.
p vector of probabilities.
n number of observations to generate.
df,lambda degrees of freedom and non-centrality parameter.

Description

— these are DEPRECATED, use Xchisq( . , df, ncp) instead —

These functions provide information about the non-central chi-square distribution with df degrees of freedom and non-centrality parameter lambda. 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 df degrees of freedom and non-centrality parameter &lambda has density

f(x) = exp(-lambda/2) SUM_{r=0}^infty (lambda^r / 2^r r!) pchisq(x, df + 2r)

for x >= 0.

Examples

pnchisq(1, df = 3, lambda = 0) == pchisq(1, df = 3)
pnchisq(1, df = 3, lambda = 0:4)
