Chi Square distribution

by admin

This continuous probability distribution in the field of positive reals is intimately related to the Normal distribution, for example, it is the sample distribution of σ². The Xi (or Chi) Square distribution is defined with a single parameter which are degrees of freedom. The function is always asymmetric and biased to the right. This distribution is very frequently used in various branches of science since it allows analyzing data sets and determining if the difference between them is due to chance (null hypothesis) or to another external factor.

Input parameters:

  • Degrees of freedom. Represents the amount of values that are free to vary without influencing the result.
