udchisq function

UNU.RAN object for Chi-Squared distribution

Create UNU.RAN object for a Chi-squared ($chi^2$) distribution with df degrees of freedom.

[Distribution] -- Chi-squared.

udchisq(df, lb=0, ub=Inf)

Arguments

• df: degrees of freedom (strictly positive). Non-integer values allowed.
• lb: lower bound of (truncated) distribution.
• ub: upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Chi-squared distribution with df$= n > 0$ degrees of freedom has density

for $x > 0$.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Returns

An object of class "unuran.cont".

Examples

## Create distribution object for chi-squared distribution
distr <- udchisq(df=5)
## Generate generator object; use method PINV (inversion)
gen <- pinvd.new(distr)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
