 * chi_prob(chi_sq, v[, eps]) -  Prob of >= chi^2 with v degrees of freedom
 *
 *    Computes the Probability, given the Null Hypothesis, that a given
 *    Chi squared values >= chi_sq with v degrees of freedom.
 *
 *    The chi_prob() function does not work well with odd degrees of freedom.
 *    It is reasonable with even degrees of freedom, although one must give
 *    a sifficently small error term as the degress gets large (>100).
 *
 * NOTE: This function does not work well with odd degrees of freedom.
 *	 Can somebody help / find a bug / provide a better method of
 *	 this odd degrees of freedom case?
 *
 * NOTE: This function works well with even degrees of freedom.  However
 *	 when the even degrees gets large (say, as you approach 100), you
 *	 need to increase your error term.

 * Section 26.4.4, p941:
 *

 *
 *	Q(chi_sq, v) = 2*Q(chi) + 2*Z(chi) * (
 *		     sum(r=1, r<=(r-1)/2) {(chi_sq^r/chi) / (1*3*5*...(2*r-1)});
 *
 *	chi = sqrt(chi_sq)
 *
 *	NOTE: Q(x) = 1-P(x)
 *
 * Section 26.4.5, p941.
 *
 *   For even v:
 *
 *	Q(chi_sq, v) = sqrt(2*pi()) * Z(chi) * ( 1 +
 *		       sum(r=1, r=((v-2)/2)) { chi_sq^r / (2*4*...*(2r)) } );
 *

 * Observe that:
 *
 *	Z(x) = exp(-x*x/2) / sqrt(2*pi());	(Section 26.2.1, p931)

 * and thus:
 *
 *	sqrt(2*pi()) * Z(chi) =

 * So:
