Hi there,

I have following parameters:

ALPHA = 0.5
NC    = 6.6468
DF    = 1

The SAS function for a noncentral Chi-square distribution
cinv(ALPHA, DF, NC)
gives me the value 0.87505

Is there a way in SPSS to get the p quantile for a noncentral Chi-square
distribution leading to the same result?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Christian Schmidhauser
