ChiSquareTest does not return

The problem is in the Gamma special functions.  For large x values in 
comparison to a values, the regularizedGammaP function never converges to a 
finite sum because the series terms approach numerical infinity.

IIRC, the algorithm I chose is slow to converge for this particular parameter 
scenario (x >> a).  Long term, I will research a different approach for this 
case and get it integrated into regularizedGammaP.

Short term, I was going to add a infinite term check to short-circut the 
algorithm and either return infinity or throw an exception from 
regularizedGammaP.  Any input on which choice of inifinity handling is 
preferred?
