scipy.special.chdtr#

scipy.special.chdtr(v, x, out=None) = <ufunc 'chdtr'>#

Chi square cumulative distribution function.

Returns the area under the left tail (from 0 to x) of the Chi square probability density function with v degrees of freedom:

\[\frac{1}{2^{v/2} \Gamma(v/2)} \int_0^x t^{v/2 - 1} e^{-t/2} dt\]

Here \(\Gamma\) is the Gamma function; see gamma. This integral can be expressed in terms of the regularized lower incomplete gamma function gammainc as gammainc(v / 2, x / 2). [1]

Parameters

varray_like: Degrees of freedom.
xarray_like: Upper bound of the integral.
outndarray, optional: Optional output array for the function results.

Returns

scalar or ndarray: Values of the cumulative distribution function.

Examples

>>> import scipy.special as sc

It can be expressed in terms of the regularized lower incomplete gamma function.

>>> v = 1
>>> x = np.arange(4)
>>> sc.chdtr(v, x)
array([0.        , 0.68268949, 0.84270079, 0.91673548])
>>> sc.gammainc(v / 2, x / 2)
array([0.        , 0.68268949, 0.84270079, 0.91673548])
