Struct rand::distributions::ChiSquared

pub struct ChiSquared { /* fields omitted */ }

The chi-squared distribution χ²(k), where k is the degrees of freedom.

For k > 0 integral, this distribution is the sum of the squares of k independent standard normal random variables. For other k, this uses the equivalent characterisation χ²(k) = Gamma(k/2, 2).

Example

use rand::distributions::{ChiSquared, Distribution};

let chi = ChiSquared::new(11.0);
let v = chi.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
println!("{} is from a χ²(11) distribution", v)

Methods

impl ChiSquared

pub fn new(k: f64) -> ChiSquared

Create a new chi-squared distribution with degrees-of-freedom k. Panics if k < 0.

Trait Implementations
