Description
The vRngChiSquare function generates random numbers with chi-square distribution and ν degrees of freedom, ν ∈N, ν > 0.
The probability density function is:

The cumulative distribution function is:

Return Values
- VSL_ERROR_OK, VSL_STATUS_OK
 -  
     
Indicates no error, execution is successful.
 - VSL_ERROR_NULL_PTR
 -  
     
stream is a NULL pointer.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_STREAM
 -  
     
stream is not a valid random stream.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_UPDATE
 -  
     
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns an invalid number of updated entries in a buffer, that is, < 0 or > nmax.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_NO_NUMBERS
 -  
     
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns 0 as the number of updated entries in a buffer.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_QRNG_PERIOD_ELAPSED
 -  
     
Period of the generator has been exceeded.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_NONDETERM_NRETRIES_EXCEEDED
 -  
     
Number of retries to generate a random number by using non-deterministic random number generator exceeds threshold.
 - VSL_RNG_ERROR_ARS5_NOT_SUPPORTED
 -  
     
ARS-5 random number generator is not supported on the CPU running the application.
