Noncentral chi-squared distribution

Common card · No. 491875

In probability theory and statistics, the noncentral chi-squared distribution (or noncentral chi-square distribution, noncentral χ 2 {\displaystyle \chi ^{2}} distribution) is a noncentral generalization of the chi-squared distribution. It often arises in the power analysis of statistical tests in which the null distribution is (perhaps asymptotically) a chi-squared distribution; important examples of such tests are the likelihood-ratio tests.
