 * The noncentral chi-squared distribution is a real valued distribution with

 *
 * This is the distribution of the sum of squares of k Normal distributed
 * variates each with variance one and \f$\lambda\f$ the sum of squares of the
 * normal means.
 *
 * The distribution function is
 * \f$\displaystyle P(x) = \frac{1}{2} e^{-(x+\lambda)/2} \left( \frac{x}{\lambda} \right)^{k/4-1/2} I_{k/2-1}( \sqrt{\lambda x} )\f$.
 *  where  \f$\displaystyle I_\nu(z)\f$ is a modified Bessel function of the
 * first kind.

 * The algorithm is taken from
