# std::chi_squared_distribution

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | random

Defined in header `<random>` |  |
template< class RealType = double > class chi_squared_distribution; |  | (since C++11)

The `chi_squared_distribution` produces random numbers x>0 according to the Chi-squared distribution:

  f(x;n) =

  x(n/2)-1 e-x/2
  Γ(n/2) 2n/2

Γ is the Gamma function (See also std::tgamma) and n are the degrees of freedom (default 1).

### [edit] Member types

Member type | Definition
`result_type` | RealType
`param_type` | the type of the parameter set, unspecified

### [edit] Member functions

(constructor) | constructs new distribution (public member function) [edit]
reset | resets the internal state of the distribution (public member function) [edit]
##### Generation
operator() | generates the next random number in the distribution (public member function) [edit]
##### Characteristics
n | returns the degrees of freedom (n) distribution parameter (public member function) [edit]
param | gets or sets the distribution parameter object (public member function) [edit]
min | returns the minimum potentially generated value (public member function) [edit]
max | returns the maximum potentially generated value (public member function) [edit]

### [edit] Non-member functions

operator==operator!= | compares two distribution objects (function) [edit]
operator<<operator>> | performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number distribution (function) [edit]
