Method Detail

getDegreesOfFreedom

public double getDegreesOfFreedom()

Access the number of degrees of freedom.

Specified by:

getDegreesOfFreedom in interface ChiSquaredDistribution

Returns:

the degrees of freedom.

density

public double density(double x)

Probability density for a particular point.

Specified by:

density in interface ContinuousDistribution

Specified by:
