distr (version 2.3.2)

Fd-class: Class "Fd"

Description

The F distribution with df1 = $n_1$, by default = 1, and df2 = $n_2$, by default = 1, degrees of freedom has density $$d(x) = \frac{\Gamma(n_1/2 + n_2/2)}{\Gamma(n_1/2)\Gamma(n_2/2)} \left(\frac{n_1}{n_2}\right)^{n_1/2} x^{n_1/2 -1} \left(1 + \frac{n_1 x}{n_2}\right)^{-(n_1 + n_2) / 2}$$ for $x > 0$. C.f. rf

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form Fd(df1, df2). This object is a F distribution.

Examples

Run this code
F <- Fd(df1 = 1, df2 = 1) # F is a F distribution with df=1 and df2=1.
r(F)(1) # one random number generated from this distribution, e.g. 29.37863
d(F)(1) # Density of this distribution is 0.1591549 for x=1 .
p(F)(1) # Probability that x<1 is 0.5.
q(F)(.1) # Probability that x<0.02508563 is 0.1.
df1(F) # df1 of this distribution is 1.
df1(F) <- 2 # df1 of this distribution is now 2.
Fn <- Fd(df1 = 1, df2 = 1, ncp = 0.5) 
  # Fn is a F distribution with df=1, df2=1 and ncp =0.5.
d(Fn)(1) ## from R 2.3.0 on ncp no longer ignored...
