An Accurate Approximation to the Distribution of a Linear Combination of Non-Central Chi-Square Random Variables

This paper provides an accessible methodology for approximating the distribution of a general linear combination of non-central chi-square random variables. Attention is focused on the main application of the results, namely the distribution of positive definite and indefinite quadratic forms in no...
