Preferred term

chi-square distribution  

Definition(s)

  • The chi-square distribution is a distribution that results from the sums of squared standard normal variables. Even though the sums of normally distributed variables have a NORMAL DISTRIBUTION (with the shape of a BELL-SHAPED curve), the sums of their squares do not. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Social Science Research Methods; CHI-Square Distribution]
