Details |
The CINV function returns the pth quantile from the chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom df and a noncentrality parameter nc. The probability that an observation from a chi-square distribution is less than or equal to the returned quantile is p. This function accepts a noninteger degrees of freedom parameter df.
If the optional parameter nc
is not specified or has the value 0, the quantile from the central chi-square
distribution is returned. The noncentrality parameter nc
is defined such that if X is a normal random variable with mean and variance 1, X2 has a noncentral
chi-square distribution with df=1 and nc =
2.
Note: CINV is the inverse of the PROBCHI function.

These statements show how to find the 95th percentile from a central chi-square distribution with 3 degrees of freedom and the 95th percentile from a noncentral chi-square distribution with 3.5 degrees of freedom and a noncentrality parameter equal to 4.5.
