Chi-Square Distribution

Evaluate and generate random samples from chi-square distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the chi-square distribution.

  • Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The distribution-specific functions can accept parameters of multiple chi-square distributions.

  • Use generic distribution functions (cdf, icdf, pdf, random) with a specified distribution name ('Chisquare') and parameters.

To learn about the chi-square distribution, see Chi-Square Distribution.
