Description

The chi squared distribution is a real valued distribution with one parameter, n. The distribution produces values > 0.

The distribution function is .

`chi_squared_distribution` public member functions

```
explicit chi_squared_distribution(RealType n = 1);
```
Construct a chi_squared_distribution object. n is the parameter of the distribution.

Requires: t >=0 && 0 <= p <= 1

explicit chi_squared_distribution(const param_type & param);

Construct an chi_squared_distribution object from the parameters.

```
template<typename URNG> RealType operator()(URNG & urng);
```
Returns a random variate distributed according to the chi squared distribution.
```
template<typename URNG> 
  RealType operator()(URNG & urng, const param_type & param) const;
```
Returns a random variate distributed according to the chi squared distribution with parameters specified by param.
```
RealType n() const;
```
Returns the n parameter of the distribution.
```
RealType min() const;
```
Returns the smallest value that the distribution can produce.
```
RealType max() const;
```
Returns the largest value that the distribution can produce.
```
param_type param() const;
```
Returns the parameters of the distribution.
```
void param(const param_type & param);
```
Sets parameters of the distribution.
```
void reset();
```
Effects: Subsequent uses of the distribution do not depend on values produced by any engine prior to invoking reset.

`chi_squared_distribution` friend functions

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, 
             const chi_squared_distribution & c2d);

Writes the parameters of the distribution to a std::ostream.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
  std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & 
  operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, 
             chi_squared_distribution & c2d);

Reads the parameters of the distribution from a std::istream.

bool operator==(const chi_squared_distribution & lhs, 
                const chi_squared_distribution & rhs);

Returns true if the two distributions will produce the same sequence of values, given equal generators.

bool operator!=(const chi_squared_distribution & lhs, 
                const chi_squared_distribution & rhs);

Returns true if the two distributions could produce different sequences of values, given equal generators.
