Returns the probability from a chi-square distribution.

Category: Probability
See: CDF Function, PDF Function

Syntax

PROBCHI(x,df<,nc> )

Required Arguments

x

is a numeric random variable.

Range x ≥ 0

df

is a numeric degrees of freedom parameter.

Range df > 0

Optional Argument

nc

is an optional numeric noncentrality parameter.

Range nc ≥ 0

Details

The PROBCHI function returns the probability that an observation from a chi-square distribution, with degrees of freedom df and noncentrality parameter nc, is less than or equal to x. This function accepts a noninteger degrees of freedom parameter df. If the optional parameter nc is not specified or has the value 0, the value returned is from the central chi-square distribution.

Example

The following SAS statement produces this result.
