<p>
            The inverse chi squared distribution is a continuous probability distribution
            of the <span class="bold"><strong>reciprocal</strong></span> of a variable distributed
            according to the chi squared distribution.
          </p>
<p>
            The sources below give confusingly different formulae using different
            symbols for the distribution pdf, but they are all the same, or related
            by a change of variable, or choice of scale.
          </p>
<p>
            Two constructors are available to implement both the scaled and (implicitly)
            unscaled versions.
          </p>
<p>
            The main version has an explicit scale parameter which implements the
            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaled-inverse-chi-square_distribution" target="_top">scaled
            inverse chi_squared distribution</a>.
          </p>
<p>
            A second version has an implicit scale = 1/degrees of freedom and gives
            the 1st definition in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-chi-square_distribution" target="_top">Wikipedia
            inverse chi_squared distribution</a>. The 2nd Wikipedia inverse chi_squared
            distribution definition can be implemented by explicitly specifying a
            scale = 1.
          </p>
<p>
            Both definitions are also available in Wolfram Mathematica and in <a href="http://www.r-project.org/" target="_top">The R Project for Statistical Computing</a>
            (geoR) with default scale = 1/degrees of freedom.

            The inverse_chi_squared distribution is used in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_statistics" target="_top">Bayesian
            statistics</a>: the scaled inverse chi-square is conjugate prior

            Gamma Distribution</a> that use <a class="link" href="../../../special/sf_gamma/igamma.html" title="Incomplete Gamma Functions">gamma_p</a>

            refer to the accuracy data for those functions for more information.
            But in general, gamma (and thus inverse gamma) results are often accurate
            to a few epsilon, &gt;14 decimal digits accuracy for 64-bit double. unless
            iteration is involved, as for the estimation of degrees of freedom.
