Kuensch's suggestion (30 sep 2002): It should be easy to do the general case (ncp > 0) by decomposing it as the sum of a central chisquare with df degrees of freedom plus a noncentral chisquare with zero degrees of freedom (which is a Poisson mixture of central chisquares with integer degrees of freedom), see Formula (29.5b-c) in Johnson, Kotz, Balakrishnan (1995). The noncentral chisquare with arbitary degrees of freedom is of interest for simulating the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model for interest rates in finance. R code that works is rchisq0 <- function(n, ncp) { p <- 0 < (K <- rpois(n, lambda = ncp / 2)) r <- numeric(n) r[p] <- rchisq(sum(p), df = 2*K[p]) r } rchisq <- function(n, df, ncp=0) { if(missing(ncp)) .Internal(rchisq(n, df)) else rchisq0(n, ncp) + .Internal(rchisq(n, df)) } */ #include "nmath.h" double rnchisq(double df, double lambda) { if (ISNAN(df) || !R_FINITE(lambda) || df < 0. || lambda < 0.) ML_WARN_return_NAN; if(lambda == 0.) { return (df == 0.) ? 0. : rgamma(df / 2., 2.); } else { double r = rpois( lambda / 2.); if (r > 0.) r = rchisq(2. * r); if (df > 0.) r += rgamma(df / 2., 2.); return r; } }
