cdfChincInv¶
Purpose¶
Computes the quantile or inverse of noncentral chi-squared cumulative distribution function.
Format¶
-
x =
cdfChincInv
(p, df, nonc)¶ Parameters: - p (NxK matrix, Nx1 vector or scalar) – Probabilities at which to compute the inverse of noncentral chi-squared cumulative distribution function. \(0 < p < 1\).
- df (ExE conformable with p) – The degrees of freedom. \(df > 0\).
- nonc (ExE conformable with p) – The noncentrality parameter. Note: This is the squared root of the noncentrality parameter that sometimes goes under the symbol \(\lambda\). \(nonc > 0\).
Returns: x (NxK matrix, Nx1 vector or scalar) – each value of x is the value such that the noncentral chi-squared cdf with df degrees of freedom and nonc noncentrality evaluated at x is equal to the corresponding value of p.
Examples¶
// Probabilities
p = { .05, .1, .25, .5, .75, 0.90, 0.95 };
// Degrees of freedom
df = 4;
// Non-centrality parameter
nonc = 2;
print cdfChincInv(p, df, nonc);
