64 The Chi-Squared distribution is one of the most widely used distributions
65 in statistical tests. If &#967;<sub>i</sub> &#160; are &#957; &#160;
66independent, normally distributed random
67 variables with means &#956;<sub>i</sub> &#160; and variances &#963;<sub>i</sub><sup>2</sup>, then the random variable:

69<p>
70 <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/chi_squ_ref1.svg"></span>
71 </p>
72<p>
73 is distributed according to the Chi-Squared distribution.
74 </p>
75<p>
76 The Chi-Squared distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution
77 and has a single parameter &#957; &#160; that specifies the number of degrees of freedom.
78 The following graph illustrates how the distribution changes for different
79 values of &#957;:

145 Note that this calculation works with <span class="emphasis"><em>variances</em></span> and
146 not <span class="emphasis"><em>standard deviations</em></span>.
147 </p>
148<p>
149 The sign of the parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>difference_from_variance</em></span>
150 is important: the Chi Squared distribution is asymmetric, and the caller
151 must decide in advance whether they are testing for a variance greater
152 than a nominal value (positive <span class="emphasis"><em>difference_from_variance</em></span>)
153 or testing for a variance less than a nominal value (negative <span class="emphasis"><em>difference_from_variance</em></span>).
154 If the latter, then obviously it is a requirement that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">variance</span>
155 <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">difference_from_variance</span>
156 <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="number">0</span></code>,
157 since no sample can have a negative variance!
