toms451

toms451, a Fortran77 code which implements ACM toms algorithm 451, which evaluates quantiles of the Chi-Square probability distribution.

The text of many ACM TOMS algorithms is available online through ACM: https://www.acm.org/pubs/calgo or NETLIB: https://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html.

Usage:

x = chisqd ( p, n )

where P is the probability and N is the number of degrees of freedom.
