if i want to plot the chi-square distribution with a different degree of freedom how can i plot it in the graph?Sometimes i plot the histogram and cut it in a lot of piece.It's distribution like a chi-square.So i want to plot the chi-square with a different degree of freedom to compare it . -- View this message in context:

Hi! This is going to be a real newbie question, but I can't figure it out. I'm trying to plot densities of various functions of chi-square. A simple chi-square plot I can do with dchisq(). But e.g. chi.sq/degrees of freedom I only know how to do using density(rchisq()/df). For example: plot(1, type="n", xlab="", ylab="", xlim=c(0,2), ylim=c(0,7)) for (i

I have a quick question which is very simple but I seem to have a mental block! I'm using the pchisq function to specify a Chi Squared distribution with 9 df which I'm then going to use in the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to test some simulated values. so simply: pchisq(q, df=9) I know that q is the vector of quantiles but could anybody tell me what exactly this vector needs to contain?

Dear help list. I would like to plot the chi-square distribution for n=1 through 10, on one plot. How do I go about doing that? I know how to plot one chi-square (using curve() for example), but plotting 10 on one plot, that is too difficult for me. I greatly appreciate your help. -- fb isabellesup at fastmail.fm --

Can anyone tell me how to calculate a mid-p value for a chi-squared test in R? Many thanks, Andrew Wilson

Hi. I have made 100 experiments of an M/M/1 queue, and for each one I have calculated both, mean and variance of the queue size. Now, a professor has told me that variance is usually chi-squared distributed. Is there a way in R that I can find the parameter that best fits a chi-square to the variance data? I know there's fitdistr()m but this function doesn't handle chi-square. I believe

Hi, How do we get the value of a chi square as we usually look up on the table on our text book? i.e. Chi-square(0.01, df=8), the text book table gives 20.090 > dchisq(0.01, df=8) [1] 1.036471e-08 > pchisq(0.01, df=8) [1] 2.593772e-11 > qchisq(0.01, df=8) [1] 1.646497 > nono of them give me 20.090 Thanks, cruz

Dear R : Sorry for the off topic question, but does anyone know the reference for the -2 Ln Lambda following a Chi Square distribution, please? Possibly one of Bartlett's? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com

Hello all, Let say I have 2-way contingency table: Tab <- matrix(c(8, 10, 12, 6), nr = 2) and the Chi-squared test could not reject the independence: > chisq.test(Tab) Pearson's Chi-squared test with Yates' continuity correction data: Tab X-squared = 1.0125, df = 1, p-value = 0.3143 However I want to get all possible contingency tables under this independence

Hi all, I'm trying to superimpose a rchisq density line over a histogram with something like: hist(alnlength) lines(density(rchisq(length(alnlength), 4)),col="red") But the rchisq line won't appear anywhere, Anyone knows what I am missing here? Thanks in advance, Albert.

Dear R helpers: Thanks for the previous reply. I am using Friedman racing test. According the the book "Pratical Nonprametric Statistic" by WJ Conover, after computing the statistics, he suggested to use chi-squared or F distribution to accept or reject null hypothesis. After looking into the source code, I found that R uses chi-sqaured distribution as below: PVAL <-

Hi, I have written out the log-likelihood function to fit some data I have (called ONES20) to the non-central chi-squared distribution. >library(stats4) >ll<-function(lambda,k){x<-ONES20; 25573*0.5*lambda-25573*log(2)-sum(-x/2)-log((x/lambda)^(0.25*k-0.5))-log(besselI(sqrt(lambda*x),0.5*k-1,expon.scaled=FALSE))} > est<-mle(minuslog=ll,start=list(lambda=0.05,k=0.006))

Hi, I think I have identified a inaccuracy in dchisq when the non-centrality parameter is non-zero and large. Here's a little test: sys.dchisq.test <- function(N = 100000,mean = 0) { z <- rnorm(N,mean = mean, sd = 1) x <- z^2 xmin <- min(x) xmax <- max(x) br <- seq(xmin,xmax,length = 101) dbr <- br[2]-br[1] hist(x,br) p <- dchisq(br,df = 1,ncp =

Hi to all I found an formular of an ** ***p-Value Calculator for the Chi-Square test* *http://www.danielsoper.com/statcalc/calc11.aspx* *with the formula* *http://www.danielsoper.com/statkb/topic11.aspx* *what's the gamma function of this formula in r?* *df=5* *ch2=25.50878* *the following code does not give the result <0.001 for the values above * *p=

Hi R People: Sorry about the off topic question. Does anyone know the reference for "-2 Log Lambda is approx dist. Chi square", please? It may be Bartlett, but I'm not sure.... thanks in advance! Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: holtlaura at gmail.com

Hi! I have some data that looks like this up down percentaje uew_21 20 14 58.82 uew_20_5 27 40 40.29 uew_20 8 13 38.09 uew_19_5 17 42 28.81 So I have 4 experimental conditions and I am counting number of animals in the up and down compartment and the calculating the percentage, I want to know which one of the conditions is different from each other. If the data wouldn't be percentage

Hello, I'm taking samples from certain distributions and drawing a density distribution over the histogram of the samples It works fine for the chi-square and for the normal, but not for the cauchy. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks x <- rchisq(10000, df = 4) hist(x, freq = FALSE, breaks=100) curve(dchisq(x, df = 4), col = 2, add = TRUE) x <- rnorm(10000) hist(x, freq =

Dear R experts, I was wondering if there are any R functions that give the tail area of a sum of chisquare distributions of the type: a_1 X_1 + a_2 X_2 where a_1 and a_2 are constants and X_1 and X_2 are independent chi-square variables with different degrees of freedom.

Hi, is there a way to plot distribution curves (say normal or chi sq etc) from within R? For example I looked up the *chisq family of functions but I'm not sure as to how I would use them to generate a plot of the chi sq distribution (for arbitrary d.o.f).

Dear list, For educational purposes I have been working with the script below. I have a observation: line 31 #CScal[i] = (amo^2) # IT IS WRONG, I KNOW, BUT IT MAKE R TO CRASHES! I'm thinking this is a possible bug in the R! And I have a couple of doubts: 1) line 51 #curve(dchisq(x, n-1), add = T, col = 'red' I think that it is correct, but the function no
