Marcum Q-function

In statistics, the Marcum-Q-function Q_M is defined as

$Q_M (a,b) = \int_{b}^{\infty} x \left( \frac{x}{a}\right)^{M-1} \exp \left( -\frac{x^2 + a^2}{2} \right) I_{M-1} \left( a x \right) dx$

Q_M is also defined as

$Q_M (a,b) = \exp \left( -\frac{a^2 + b^2}{2} \right) \sum_{k=1-M}^{\infty} \left( \frac{a}{b}\right)^{k} I_{k} \left( a b \right)$

with modified Bessel function I_{M − 1} of order M − 1. The Marcum Q-function is used for example as a cumulative distribution function for noncentral chi-squared and Rice distributions.
