arXiv:2404.05062v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present four new mathematical methods, two exact and two approximate, along with open-source software, to compute the cdf, pdf and inverse cdf of the generalized chi-square distribution. Some methods are geared for speed, while others are designed to be accurate far into the tails, using which we can also measure large values of the discriminability index $d'$ between multivariate normal distributions. We compare the accuracy and speed of these and previous methods, characterize their advantages and limitations, and identify the best
