Chi-square table

Ruby
1

Hi all,

I need to build a chi-square table with 100 degree of freedom at
0.05,0.01, 0.001 level using Ruby. Does anyone out there know what the
formula is for this table ?

Thanks,

Li

Hi Axel,

Thank you very much for the link. Currently I am more interested in
finding the critical value correponding to my chi-square value. But I
will try to figure out how to do it latter.

Dear Li,

if you’re interested in the values rather than
in doing a programming exercise, you can use
the statistics2 package by Shin-ichi Hara:

blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/~sinara/ruby/math/statistics2/statistics2-0.50/README

From the README:

— Statistics2.chi2dist(n, x)
Returns the integral of Chi-squared distribution with n degrees of
freedom
over (-Infty, x].

— Statistics2.pchi2dist(n, pr)
Returns the P-value of chi2dist().

— Statistics2.chi2X_(n, x)
Returns the integral of Chi-squared distribution with n degrees of
freedom
over [0, x].

— Statistics2.chi2_x(n, x)
Returns the integral of Chi-squared distribution with n degrees of
freedom
over [x, Infty).

— Statistics2.pchi2X_(n, pr)
— Statistics2.pchi2_x(n, pr)
Return the P-value of the corresponding integral.

Best regards,

Axel

Dear Li,

glad to be of help.

Currently I am more interested in
finding the critical value correponding to my chi-square value.

Maybe a worked-through example like this one:

can clarify things further.

Best regards,

Axel
