cdfchn Scilab Group Scilab Function cdfchn
NAME
cdfchn - cumulative distribution function non-central chi-square
distribution
CALLING SEQUENCE
[P,Q]=cdfchn("PQ",X,Df,Pnonc)
[X]=cdfchn("X",Df,Pnonc,P,Q);
[Df]=cdfchn("Df",Pnonc,P,Q,X)
[Pnonc]=cdfchn("Pnonc",P,Q,X,Df)
PARAMETERS
P,Q,X,Df,Pnonc
: five real vectors of the same size.
P,Q (Q=1-P)
: The integral from 0 to X of the non-central chi-square distribution.
Input range: [0, 1-1E-16).
X : Upper limit of integration of the non-central chi-square
distribution. Input range: [0, +infinity). Search range:
[0,1E300]
Df : Degrees of freedom of the non-central chi-square
distribution. Input range: (0, +infinity). Search range: [
1E-300, 1E300]
Pnonc : Non-centrality parameter of the non-central chi-square
distribution. Input range: [0, +infinity). Search range:
[0,1E4]
DESCRIPTION
Calculates any one parameter of the non-central chi-square distribution
given values for the others.
Formula 26.4.25 of Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of
Mathematical Functions (1966) is used to compute the cumulative
distribution function.
Computation of other parameters involve a seach for a value that produces
the desired value of P. The search relies on the monotinicity of P
with the other parameter.
The computation time required for this routine is proportional to the
noncentrality parameter (PNONC). Very large values of this parameter
can consume immense computer resources. This is why the search range is
bounded by 10,000.
