Detailed Description

ChiSquareDistribution class defines the interface for a univariate Chi-Square distribution (pdfs, cdfs, etc.).

ChiSquareDistribution provides access to the probability density function (pdf), the cumulative distribution function (cdf), and the inverse cumulative distribution function for a Chi-Square distribution.

The EvaluatePDF(), EvaluateCDF, EvaluateInverseCDF() methods are all virtual, allowing algorithms to be written with an abstract interface to a distribution (with said distribution provided to the algorithm at run-time). Static methods, not requiring an instance of the distribution, are also provided. The static methods allow for optimized access to distributions when the distribution is known a priori to the algorithm.

ChiSquareDistributions are univariate. Multivariate versions may be provided under a separate superclass (since the parameters to the pdf and cdf would have to be vectors not scalars).

ChiSquareDistributions can be used for Chi-Square tests.
