The chi-squared distribution is used in the common chi-squared tests for goodness of fit of an observed distribution to a theoretical one, the independence of two criteria of classification of qualitative data, and in finding the confidence interval for estimating the population standard deviation of a normal distribution from a sample standard ...
A generalized chi-square variable or distribution can be parameterized in two ways. The first is in terms of the weights w i {\displaystyle w_{i}} , the degrees of freedom k i {\displaystyle k_{i}} and non-centralities λ i {\displaystyle \lambda _{i}} of the constituent non-central chi-squares, and the coefficients s {\displaystyle s} and m ...
Pearson's chi-squared test is used to assess three types of comparison: goodness of fit, homogeneity, and independence. A test of goodness of fit establishes whether an observed frequency distribution differs from a theoretical distribution.
It is the distribution of the positive square root of a sum of squared independent Gaussian random variables. Equivalently, it is the distribution of the Euclidean distance between a multivariate Gaussian random variable and the origin. The chi distribution describes the positive square roots of a variable obeying a chi-squared distribution.

A chi-squared test (also chi-square or χ 2 test) is a statistical hypothesis test used in the analysis of contingency tables when the sample sizes are large. In simpler terms, this test is primarily used to examine whether two categorical variables ( two dimensions of the contingency table ) are independent in influencing the test statistic ...
Here is one based on the distribution with 1 degree of freedom. Suppose that X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are two independent variables satisfying X ∼ χ 1 2 {\displaystyle X\sim \chi _{1}^{2}} and Y ∼ χ 1 2 {\displaystyle Y\sim \chi _{1}^{2}} , so that the probability density functions of X {\displaystyle X} and Y ...
In probability and statistics, the inverse-chi-squared distribution (or inverted-chi-square distribution [1]) is a continuous probability distribution of a positive-valued random variable. It is closely related to the chi-squared distribution. It is used in Bayesian inference as conjugate prior for the variance of the normal distribution. [2]
