Function Reference: chi2inv

statistics: x = chi2inv (p, df)

Inverse of the chi-squared cumulative distribution function (iCDF).

For each element of p, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF) of the chi-squared distribution with df degrees of freedom. The size of x is the common size of p and df. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Further information about the chi-squared distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_distribution
