      umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.ChiSquareGen

public class ChiSquareGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators with the chi square distribution with n > 0 degrees of freedom. Its density function is

f (x) = x^n/2-1e^-x/2/(2^n/2Γ(n/2)) for x > 0, 0 elsewhere

where Γ(x) is the gamma function defined in GammaGen.

The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.

Constructor Summary

ChiSquareGen(RandomStream s, ChiSquareDist dist)
Create a new generator for the distribution dist and stream s.

ChiSquareGen(RandomStream s, int n)
Creates a chi square random variate generator with n degrees of freedom, using stream s.

Method Summary

int	getN() Returns the value of n for this object.
static double	nextDouble(RandomStream s, int n) Generates a new variate from the chi square distribution with n degrees of freedom, using stream s.
