public class ChiSquare
extends AbstractContinousDistribution

ChiSquare distribution; See the math definition and animated definition.

A special case of the Gamma distribution.

p(x) = (1/g(f/2)) * (x/2)^(f/2-1) * exp(-x/2) with g(a) being the gamma function and f being the degrees of freedom.

Valid parameter ranges: freedom > 0.

Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.

Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.

Implementation:

Method: Ratio of Uniforms with shift.
High performance implementation. This is a port of RandChiSquare used in CLHEP 1.4.0 (C++). CLHEP's implementation, in turn, is based on chru.c from the C-RAND / WIN-RAND library. C-RAND's implementation, in turn, is based upon

J.F. Monahan (1987): An algorithm for generating chi random variables, ACM Trans. Math. Software 13, 168-172.
