Documentation/How Tos/Calc: CHISQDIST function
This function is not yet implemented but expected for OpenOffice.org version 3.1.
CHISQDIST
Calculates values for a χ2-distribution.
Syntax
CHISQDIST(x; k; Cumulative)
- x is the number, at which you will evaluate the χ2-distribution.
- k sets the degrees of freedom for the χ2-distribution
- Constraint: k must be a positive integer
- Cumulative is a logical value.
- In the case Cumulative=TRUE() the cumulative distribution function is used, in the case Cumulative=FALSE() the probability density function. This parameter is optional. It is set to TRUE() if missing.
Semantic
CHISQDIST(x;k;FALSE()) returns values of the probability density function for the χ2-distribution:
CHISQDIST(x;k;TRUE()) returns the left tail probability for the χ2-distribution:
Example
CHSQDIST(2.7;3;FALSE())
- returns approximately 0.1699395239
CHSQDIST(2.7;3;TRUE())
- returns approximately 0.5597727056
Remarks
If you need CHISQDIST(x;k;TRUE()) with a non integer parameter k, then use GAMMADIST(x;k/2;2) instead.
In the density case the internal calculation uses logarithmic- and exponential function, if x >1425 or x · k > 1391000. The results are less accurate in those cases.
