Hello developers and users: My system fails (the computer freezes) when I use the ncp parameter, with the lower.tail=FALSE option in the qchisq function. qchisq(0.025,31,ncp=1,lower.tail=FALSE)
Yup, that's a bug. We have in pnchisq.c 48 for (ux = 1.0; pnchisq(ux, n, lambda, lower_tail, log_p) < p; ux *= 2); 49 for (lx = ux; pnchisq(lx, n, lambda, lower_tail, log_p) > p; lx *= 0.5); but if we look at the opposite tail, we also need to reverse that logic since pnchisq(x,...) is now decreasing in x. Otherwise the algorithm will get stuck in one of the for loops. (Mailed to r-bugs)
