public class ApproxFastChiSquareDistribution
extends GammaDistribution

chi-square distribution (distribution of sum of squares of n uniform random variables) (Parameter: n; mean: n; variance: 2*n) The chi-square distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution (shape parameter = n/2.0, scale = 2.0).
