Non-central Chi-squared distribution



Format: NCChiSQ(n,NcP)

 

The non-central chi-squared distribution is a generalized version of the chi squared distribution: when the non-centrality parameter Ncp=0, it reduces to a Chi Squared.

Kotz et. al (1995) provide a thorough explanation of its origin and uses.
