26.5.8.5.3 Class template chi_squared_distribution [rand.dist.norm.chisq]

A chi_squared_distribution random number distribution produces random numbers x>0 distributed according to the probability density function \[%
 p(x\,|\,n)
      =  \frac{ x^{(n/2)-1} \cdot e^{-x/2}}
              {\Gamma(n/2) \cdot 2^{n/2}}
\; \mbox{.}
\]

explicit chi_squared_distribution(RealType n = 1);

Requires: 0 < n .

Effects: Constructs a chi_squared_distribution object; n corresponds to the parameter of the distribution.

RealType n() const;

Returns: The value of the n parameter with which the object was constructed.
