Chi random unsigned real number
Formulation 0
Let $Z_1, Z_2, Z_3, \dots \in \text{Gaussian}(0, 1)$ each be a D211: Standard gaussian random real number such that
(i) $Z_1, Z_2, Z_3, \dots$ is an D2713: Independent random collection
A D3161: Random real number $X \in \text{Random}(\mathbb{R})$ is a chi random real number with parameter $N \in 1, 2, 3, \ldots$ if and only if \begin{equation} X \overset{d}{=} \left( \sum_{n = 1}^N Z^2_n \right)^{1/2} \end{equation}
