Description

Fpdf( is the F-distribution probability density function.

Since the F-distribution is continuous, the value of Fpdf( doesn't represent an actual probability - in fact, one of the only uses for this command is to draw a graph of the distribution. You could also use it for various calculus purposes, such as finding inflection points.

The command takes 3 arguments: x is the point at which to evaluate the function (when graphing, use X for this argument), numerator df and denominator df are the numerator degrees of freedom and denominator degrees of freedom respectively (these specify a single Fpdf( curve out of an infinite family).

The F-distribution is used mainly in significance tests of variance.

Formulas

The value of the Fpdf( is given by

(1) \(\begin{align} \texttt{Fpdf}(x,d_1,d_2) = \frac{\left( \frac{d_1x}{d_1x+d_2} \right)^{d_1/2} \left(1-\frac{d_1x}{d_1x+d_2}\right)^{d_2/2}}{x \texttt{B}(d_1/2,d_2/2)} \end{align}\)

where B(x,y) is the Beta function.
