chi {chi}

The Chi Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the chi distribution.

Usage

dchi(x, df, ncp = 0, log = FALSE)

pchi(q, df, ncp = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qchi(p, df, ncp = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rchi(n, df, ncp = 0)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

df

degrees of freedom (non-negative, but can be non-integer).

ncp

non-centrality parameter (non-negative).

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x] otherwise, P[X > x].

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Details

The functions (d/p/q/r)chi simply wrap those of the standard (d/p/q/r)chisq R implementation, so look at, say, dchisq for details.

See Also

dchisq; these functions just wrap the (d/p/q/r)chisq functions.

Examples

s <- seq(0, 5, .01)
plot(s, dchi(s, 7), type = 'l')

f <- function(x) dchi(x, 7)
q <- 2
integrate(f, 0, q)
(p <- pchi(q, 7))
qchi(p, 7) # = q
mean(rchi(1e5, 7) <= q)


samples <- rchi(1e5, 7)
plot(density(samples))
curve(f, add = TRUE, col = "red")
