std::chi_squared_distribution
 
Defined in header <random>
template< class RealType = double >
class chi_squared_distribution;
(since C++11)

The chi_squared_distribution produces random numbers x>0 according to the Chi-squared distribution:

f(x;n) =
x(n/2)-1
e-x/2
Γ(n/2) 2n/2

Γ is the Gamma function (See also std::tgamma) and n are the degrees of freedom (default 1).

std::chi_squared_distribution satisfies all requirements of RandomNumberDistribution.

[edit] Template parameters

RealType - The result type generated by the generator. The effect is undefined if this is not one of float, double, or long double.

[edit] Member types

Member type Definition
result_type (C++11) RealType
param_type (C++11) the type of the parameter set, see RandomNumberDistribution.

[edit] Member functions

constructs new distribution
(public member function) [edit]
(C++11)
resets the internal state of the distribution
(public member function) [edit]
Generation
generates the next random number in the distribution

Characteristics
(C++11)
returns the degrees of freedom (n) distribution parameter
(public member function) [edit]
