The distribution is therefore parametrised by the two quantities ν and τ2, referred to as the ''number of chi-squared degrees of freedom'' and the ''scaling parameter'', respectively. This family of scaled inverse chi-squared distributions is closely related to two other distribution families, those of the inverse-chi-squared distribution and the inverse gamma distribution. Compared to the inverse-chi-squared distribution, the scaled distribution has an extra parameter ''τ''2, which scales the distribution horizontally and vertically, representing the inverse-variance of the original underlying process. Also, the scale inverse chi-squared distribution is presented as the distribution for the inverse of the ''mean'' of ν squared deviates, rather than the inverse of their ''sum''. The two distributions thus have the relation that if : then Compared to the inverse gamma distribution, the scaled inverse chi-squared distribution describes the same data distribution, but using a different parametrization, which may be more convenient in some circumstances. Specifically, if : then Either form may be used to represent the maximum entropy distribution for a fixed first inverse moment and first logarithmic moment . The scaled inverse chi-squared distribution also has a particular use in Bayesian statistics, somewhat unrelated to its use as a predictive distribution for ''x'' = 1/''s''2. Specifically, the scaled inverse chi-squared distribution can be used as a conjugate prior for the variance parameter of a normal distribution. In this context the scaling parameter is denoted by σ02 rather than by τ2, and has a different interpretation. The application has been more usually presented using the inverse gamma distribution formulation instead; however, some authors, following in particular Gelman ''et al.'' (1995/2004) argue that the inverse chi-squared parametrisation is more intuitive. ==Characterization== The probability density function of the scaled inverse chi-squared distribution extends over the domain and is : : where is the incomplete Gamma function, is the Gamma function and is a regularized Gamma function. The characteristic function is : : where is the modified Bessel function of the second kind.
