public final class ChiSquaredDistribution extends AbstractContinuousDistribution
Implementation of the chi-squared distribution.The probability density function of \( X \) is:
\[ f(x; k) = \frac{1}{2^{k/2} \Gamma(k/2)} x^{k/2 -1} e^{-x/2} \]
for \( k > 0 \) the degrees of freedom, \( \Gamma(k/2) \) is the gamma function, and \( x \in [0, \infty) \).

of
public static ChiSquaredDistribution of(double degreesOfFreedom)
Creates a chi-squared distribution.- Parameters:
degreesOfFreedom
- Degrees of freedom.- Returns:
- the distribution
- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- ifdegreesOfFreedom <= 0
.
-
getDegreesOfFreedom
public double getDegreesOfFreedom()
Gets the degrees of freedom parameter of this distribution.- Returns:
- the degrees of freedom.
-
density
public double density(double x)
Returns the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution evaluated at the specified pointx
. In general, the PDF is the derivative of the CDF. If the derivative does not exist atx
, then an appropriate replacement should be returned, e.g.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NaN
, or the limit inferior or limit superior of the difference quotient.Returns the limit when
x = 0
:df < 2
: Infinitydf == 2
: 1 / 2df > 2
: 0
- Parameters:
x
- Point at which the PDF is evaluated.- Returns:
- the value of the probability density function at
x
.
-
logDensity
public double logDensity(double x)
Returns the natural logarithm of the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution evaluated at the specified pointx
.Returns the limit when
x = 0
:df < 2
: Infinitydf == 2
: log(1 / 2)df > 2
: -Infinity
- Parameters:
x
- Point at which the PDF is evaluated.- Returns:
- the logarithm of the value of the probability density function
at
x
.
-
cumulativeProbability
public double cumulativeProbability(double x)
For a random variableX
whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returnsP(X <= x)
. In other words, this method represents the (cumulative) distribution function (CDF) for this distribution.- Parameters:
x
- Point at which the CDF is evaluated.- Returns:
- the probability that a random variable with this
distribution takes a value less than or equal to
x
.
-
survivalProbability
public double survivalProbability(double x)
For a random variableX
whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returnsP(X > x)
. In other words, this method represents the complementary cumulative distribution function.By default, this is defined as
1 - cumulativeProbability(x)
, but the specific implementation may be more accurate.- Parameters:
x
- Point at which the survival function is evaluated.- Returns:
- the probability that a random variable with this
distribution takes a value greater than
x
.
-
inverseCumulativeProbability
public double inverseCumulativeProbability(double p)
Computes the quantile function of this distribution. For a random variableX
distributed according to this distribution, the returned value is:\[ x = \begin{cases} \inf \{ x \in \mathbb R : P(X \le x) \ge p\} & \text{for } 0 \lt p \le 1 \\ \inf \{ x \in \mathbb R : P(X \le x) \gt 0 \} & \text{for } p = 0 \end{cases} \]
The default implementation returns:
ContinuousDistribution.getSupportLowerBound()
forp = 0
,ContinuousDistribution.getSupportUpperBound()
forp = 1
, or- the result of a search for a root between the lower and upper bound using
cumulativeProbability(x) - p
. The bounds may be bracketed for efficiency.
- Specified by:

in interfaceContinuousDistribution
- Overrides:

-quantile of this distribution (largest 0-quantile forp = 0
).
-
inverseSurvivalProbability
public double inverseSurvivalProbability(double p)
Computes the inverse survival probability function of this distribution. For a random variableX

By default, this is defined as
inverseCumulativeProbability(1 - p)
, but the specific implementation may be more accurate.The default implementation returns:
ContinuousDistribution.getSupportLowerBound()
forp = 1
,ContinuousDistribution.getSupportUpperBound()
forp = 0
, or- the result of a search for a root between the lower and upper bound using
survivalProbability(x) - p

public double getSupportLowerBound()
Gets the lower bound of the support. It must return the same value asinverseCumulativeProbability(0)
