	Chi-square distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The best-known situations in which the chi-square distribution is used are the common chi-square tests for goodness of fit of an observed distribution to a theoretical one, and of the independence of two criteria of classification of qualitative data.
		It enters all analysis of variance problems via its role in the F-distribution, which is the distribution of the ratio of two independent chi-squared random variables divided by their respective degrees of freedom.
		The chi-square distribution has numerous applications in inferential statistics, for instance in chi-square tests and in estimating variances.

	Pearson's chi-square test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		By the normal approximation to a binomial this is the square of one standard normal variate, and hence is distributed as chi-square with 1 degree of freedom.
		It is commonly stated that the degrees of freedom for the chi-square distribution of the statistic are then k − 1 − r, where r is the number of unknown parameters.

	Talk:Chi-square distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Further, there is what Wolfram calls the "chi distribution" (but which is more or less absent elsewhere on the Web) which is what you get if you take the square root of a chi-square.
		It's possible that one could express this distribution in terms of some sort of "noncentral chi distribution" whose pdf we could actually calculate; then a maximum likelihood estimator would be a reasonable thing to obtain.
		Remember that this statistic is only asymptotically chi-squared.
