Constructor Detail

ChiSquared

public ChiSquared()
Default constructor. Degrees of freedom is set to 1.


ChiSquared

public ChiSquared(double df)
Create a distribution with the given degrees of freedom.

Parameters:
df - degrees of freedom.
Method Detail

cumulativeProbability

public double cumulativeProbability(double x)
                             throws NumericException
The CDF for this distribution. This method returns P(X < x).

Specified by:
cumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution
Parameters:
x - the value at which the CDF is evaluated.
Returns:
CDF for this distribution.
Throws:
NumericException - if the cumulative probability can not be computed.

getDegreesOfFreedom

public double getDegreesOfFreedom()
Access the degrees of freedom.

Returns:
the degrees of freedom.

inverseCumulativeProbability

public double inverseCumulativeProbability(double p)
                                    throws NumericException
The inverse CDF for this distribution. This method returns x such that, P(X < x) = p.

Specified by:
inverseCumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution
Parameters:
p - the cumulative probability.
Returns:
x
Throws:
NumericException - if the inverse cumulative probability can not be computed.

setDegreesOfFreedom

public void setDegreesOfFreedom(double df)
Modify the degrees of freedom.

Parameters:
df - The new degrees of freedom value.
