Standard Deviation
Chi-squared distribution standard deviation.
The standard deviation for a chi-squared random variable is
where k >= 0
is the degrees of freedom.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-chisquare-stdev
Usage
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-chisquare-stdev' );
stdev( k )
Returns the standard deviation of a chi-squared distribution with degrees of freedom k
.
var v = stdev( 9.0 );
// returns ~4.243
v = stdev( 0.5 );
// returns 1.0
If provided k < 0
, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( -1.0 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-chisquare-stdev' );
var k;
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
k = randu() * 20.0;
v = stdev( k );
console.log( 'k: %d, SD(X,k): %d', k.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
