Noncentrality parameters are parameters of families of probability distributions which are related to other "central" families of distributions. If the noncentrality parameter of a distribution is zero the distribution is identical a distribution in the central family. are used in the following distributions.

  • Noncentrality parameters are parameters of families of probability distributions which are related to other "central" families of distributions. If the noncentrality parameter of a distribution is zero the distribution is identical a distribution in the central family. are used in the following distributions. Noncentral t-distribution Noncentral chi-square distribution Noncentral chi-distribution Noncentral F-distribution Noncentral beta distribution Each of these distributiuons has a single noncentrality parameter. However, there are extended versions of these distributions which have two noncentrality parameters: the doubly noncentral beta distribution, the doubly noncentral F distribution and the doubly noncentral t distribution. Note also that there are some "noncentral distributions" that are not usually formulated in terms of a "noncentrality parameter": see noncentral hypergeometric distributions for example. The noncentrality parameter of t-distribution may be negative or positive while the noncentral parameters of the other three distributions must be not less than zero.
