PROBCHI(x,df<,nc>)

Arguments

x
is a numeric random variable.
Range: x [ge] 0

df
is a numeric degrees of freedom parameter.
Range: df > 0

nc
is an optional numeric noncentrality parameter.
Range: nc [ge] 0


Details

The PROBCHI function returns the probability that an observation from a chi-square distribution, with degrees of freedom df and noncentrality parameter nc, is less than or equal to x. This function accepts a noninteger degrees of freedom parameter df. If the optional parameter nc is not specified or has the value 0, the value returned is from the central chi-square distribution.
