Statistics & Probability Letters, 1988, vol. 7, issue 2, 127-129

Abstract: For the noncentral chi-square random variable, the density and cumulative distribution function may be computed using tables of modified Bessel functions. In the case of odd degrees of freedom, a simple exact expression is given which is computable on a hand calculator.
