.TH PCHISQ 3M
.SH NAME
pchisq
.SH DESCRIPTION
function pchisq.f

source
  Bevington, pages 192-193.

purpose
  evaluate probability for exceeding chi square

usage
  result = pchisq (chisqr, nfree)

description of parameters
  chisqr - comparison value of reduced chi square
  nfree  - number of degrees of freedom

subroutines and function subprograms required
  gamma (x)
    calculates gamma function for integers and 1/2-integers

comments
  calculation is approximate for nfree odd and
    chi square greater than 50
