F distribution


Statistics – F distribution


”;


The F distribution (Snedecor”s F distribution or the Fisher–Snedecor distribution) represents continuous probability distribution which occurs frequently as null distribution of test statistics. It happens mostly during analysis of variance or F-test.

F Distribution

Probability density function

Probability density function of F distribution is given as:

Formula

${ f(x; d_1, d_2) = frac{sqrt{frac{(d_1 x)^{d_1} d_2^{d_2}}{(d_1x+d_2)^{d_1+d_2}}}}{x beta (frac{d_1}{2}, frac{d_2}{2})} }$

Where −

  • ${d_1}$ = positive parameter.

  • ${d_2}$ = positive parameter.

  • ${x}$ = random variable.

Cumulative distribution function

Cumulative distribution function of F distribution is given as:

Formula

${ F(x; d_1, d_2) = I_{frac{d_1x}{d_1x+d_2}}(frac{d_1}{2}, frac{d_2}{2})}$

Where −

  • ${d_1}$ = positive parameter.

  • ${d_2}$ = positive parameter.

  • ${x}$ = random variable.

  • ${I} $ = lower incomplete beta function.
