CDFNORM(M) Standard normal cumulative distribution function of elements. Takes
a single argument. Returns a matrix having the same dimensions as the
argument, containing the values of the cumulative normal distribution
function for each of its elements. If an element of the argument is x,
the corresponding element of the result is a number between 0 and 1,
giving the proportion of a normal distribution that is less than x. For
example, CDFNORM({-1.96,0,1.96}) results in, approximately,
{.025,.5,.975}.
CHICDF(M,S) Chi-square cumulative distribution function of elements. Takes two
arguments, a matrix of chi-square values and a scalar giving the
degrees of freedom (which must be positive). Returns a matrix having
the same dimensions as the first argument, containing the values of the
cumulative chi-square distribution function for each of its elements. If
an element of the first argument is x and the second argument is S, the
corresponding element of the result is a number between 0 and 1,
giving the proportion of a chi-square distribution with S degrees of
freedom that is less than x. If x is not positive, the result is 0.
CHOL(M) Cholesky decomposition. Takes a single argument, which must be a
symmetric positive-definite matrix (a square matrix, symmetric about
the main diagonal, with positive eigenvalues). Returns a matrix
having the same dimensions as the argument. If M is a symmetric positive-definite
matrix and B=CHOL(M), then T(B)*B=M, where T is the
transpose function defined below.
