pwGetChisqThreshold

 

 threshold = pwGetChisqThreshold(dof, alpha)

 Determines the chi-square threshold corresponding to the
 specified degrees of freedom and significance threshold.

Arguments for pwGetChisqThreshold

 dof     Degrees of freedom, e.g. number of data points (N) or
         N - number of parameters (N - p).
 alpha   Significance threshold 0..1, e.g. 0.05 (default).

Description

 
 If the chi-square value of a fit is below the calculated chi-square
 threshold, the model can not be rejected as a wrong model.
 If the chi-square value is larger, the model can be rejected:
 Only in alpha*100 percent of the cases, the model produces
 the measured (or more extreme) data.
