Noncentral Chi Distribution - Related Distributions

Related Distributions

  • If is a random variable with the non-central chi distribution, the random variable will have the noncentral chi-squared distribution. Other related distributions may be seen there.
  • If is chi distributed: then is also non-central chi distributed: . In other words, the chi distribution is a special case of the non-central chi distribution (i.e., with a non-centrality parameter of zero).
  • A noncentral chi distribution with 2 degrees of freedom is equivalent to a Rice distribution with .
  • If X follows a noncentral chi distribution with 1 degree of freedom and noncentrality parameter λ, then σX follows a folded normal distribution whose parameters are equal to σλ and σ2 for any value of σ.

Famous quotes containing the word related:

    The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
