Chi-squared distribution

Summary

The chi-squared distribution with kk degrees of freedom is the law of a sum of the squares of kk independent standard normal random variables. It is central in tests and confidence intervals for variances. The node chi-squared distribution gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
