scipy.special.chndtrinc

scipy.special.chndtrinc(x, df, p, out=None) = <ufunc 'chndtrinc'>

Inverse to chndtr vs nc

Calculated using a search to find a value for df that produces the desired value of p.

Parameters:

xarray_like

Upper bound of the integral; must satisfy x >= 0

dfarray_like

Degrees of freedom; must satisfy df > 0

parray_like

Probability; must satisfy 0 <= p < 1

outndarray, optional

Optional output array for the function results

Returns:

ncscalar or ndarray

Non-centrality

Notes

The noncentral chi squared distribution is also available in scipy.stats.ncx2.

This function wraps routines from the Boost Math C++ library [1].

>>> from scipy.special import chndtrinc, chndtr

Compute the noncentral chi squared distribution CDF at one point.

>>> x, df, nc = 3, 5, 10
>>> p = chndtr(x, df, nc)

chndtrinc is the inverse of chndtr with respect to nc:

>>> chndtrinc(x, df, p)
10.0
