chi_square
==========

Class is used for generation of chi-square distributed real types random numbers.

.. _onemkl_rng_chi_square_description:

.. rubric:: Description

The class object is used in the :ref:`oneapi::mkl::rng::generate()<onemkl_rng_generate>` function to provide random numbers chi-square distributed with :math:`n` degrees of freedom, :math:`n \in N; n > 0`.

The probability distribution is given by:

.. math::

    f_{n}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{x^{\frac{n - 2}{2}}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}}{2^{n/2}\Gamma(n/2)}, x \ge 0 \\ 0, x < 0 \end{array}\right.

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

.. math::

    F_{n}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \int^{x}_{0}\frac{y^{\frac{n - 2}{2}}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}}{2^{n/2}\Gamma(n/2)}dy, x \ge 0 \\ 0, x < 0 \end{array}\right.
