Chi-Square Distribution

The Chi-Square distribution is used in the chi-square tests for goodness of fit of an observed distribution to a theoretical one and the independence of two criteria of classification of qualitative data. It is also used in confidence interval estimation for a population standard deviation of a normal distribution from a sample standard deviation. The Chi-Square distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution.

PDF:
\frac{1}{2^{k/2}\Gamma(k/2)}\; x^{k/2-1} e^{-x/2}\,

CDF:
\frac{1}{\pi} \arctan\left(\frac{x-x_0}{\gamma}\right)+\frac{1}{2}\!

Mean:
\approx k\bigg(1-\frac{2}{9k}\bigg)^3

Median:
\approx k\bigg(1-\frac{2}{9k}\bigg)^3

Mode:
max{ k − 2, 0 }

Variance:
2k

Support:
x ∈ [0, +∞)
Moments:
The nth raw moment for a distribution with r degrees of freedom is: 2^n \tfrac{\Gamma(n+\tfrac{1}{2}r)}{\Gamma\tfrac{1}{2}r}

The nth central moment is: 2^nU(-n,1-n-\tfrac{1}{2}r,-\tfrac{1}{2}r),

where U(a,b,x) is a confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind.

Applications

Example

Chi Square Test for Goodness of Fit: There are 60 people in a statistics class, and we have data on the month of their birth. Our null hypothesis is that the number of students with a particular birth month should be divided equally among the total 60. We can use a chi square test with 12-1=11 degrees of freedom to compare the observed data against our null hypothesis.

Birthday Month Observed Expected Residual (Obs-Exp) (ObsExp)2 (ObsExp)2 / Exp
Jan 3 5 -2 4 0.8
Feb 4 5 -1 1 0.2
Mar 8 5 3 9 1.8
April 4 5 -1 1 0.2
May 2 5 -3 9 1.8
June 3 5 -2 4 0.8
July 6 5 1 1 0.2
Aug 6 5 1 1 0.2
Sept 4 5 -1 1 0.2
Oct 3 5 -2 4 0.8
Nov 2 5 -3 9 1.8
Dec 5 5 0 0 0
Total = 8.8

Our Chi Square value is 8.8. Using the SOCR Chi-Square Distribution Calculator, at 11 degrees of freedom, a chi square value of 8.8 gives us a p-value of 0.36. We do not reject our null hypothesis. The observed data do not show evidence of a non-uniform distribution of birth months.
