Hour angle The angle may be measured in degrees or in time, with 24 = 360° exactly. In astronomy, hour angle is defined as the angular distance on the celestial sphere measured westward along the celestial equator from the meridian to the hour circle passing through a point. It may be given in degrees, time, or rotations depending on the application. In celestial navigation, the convention is to measure in degrees westward from the prime meridian (Greenwich hour angle, GHA), from the local meridian (local hour angle, LHA) or from the first point of Aries (sidereal hour angle, SHA). The hour angle
Zero degrees of freedom concentrates all probability at zero. All of this leaves open the question of what happens with zero degrees of freedom when the noncentrality parameter is not zero. The noncentral chi-squared distribution with zero degrees of freedom and with noncentrality parameter "μ" is the distribution of This concentrates probability "e" at zero; thus it is a mixture of discrete and continuous distributions Zero degrees of freedom In statistics, the non-central chi-squared distribution with zero degrees of freedom can be used in testing the null hypothesis that a sample is from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1). This distribution was
