Remarks

The χ distribution is the distribution of the magnitude of a ν-dimensional vector whose individual components are normally distributed.

Since the distribution of the same sum of squares without taking the square root is called the χ2 distribution, (ChiSquaredDistribution), this distribution is called the χ distribution.

The particular case with ν = 2 is the RayleighDistribution.
