                             throws MathException
        For this distribution, X, this method returns P(X < x). The implementation of this method is based on:
        • Chi-Squared Distribution, equation (9).
        • Casella, G., & Berger, R. (1990). Statistical Inference. Belmont, CA: Duxbury Press.
        Specified by:
        cumulativeProbability in interface Distribution
        Parameters:
        x - the value at which the CDF is evaluated.
        Returns:
        CDF for this distribution.
        Throws:
        MathException - if the cumulative probability can not be computed due to convergence or other numerical errors.

      • inverseCumulativeProbability

        public double inverseCumulativeProbability​(double p)
                                    throws MathException
        For this distribution, X, this method returns the critical point x, such that P(X < x) = p.

        Returns 0 for p=0 and Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY for p=1.

        Specified by:
        inverseCumulativeProbability in interface ContinuousDistribution
        Overrides:

        Parameters:
        p - the desired probability
        Returns:
        x, such that P(X < x) = p
        Throws:
        MathException - if the inverse cumulative probability can not be computed due to convergence or other numerical errors.
