  2. F-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the F-distribution or F-ratio, also known as Snedecor's F distribution or the Fisher–Snedecor distribution (after Ronald Fisher and George W. Snedecor), is a continuous probability distribution that arises frequently as the null distribution of a test statistic, most notably in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and other F-tests.

  3. F-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-test

    The F table serves as a reference guide containing critical F values for the distribution of the F-statistic under the assumption of a true null hypothesis. It is designed to help determine the threshold beyond which the F statistic is expected to exceed a controlled percentage of the time (e.g., 5%) when the null hypothesis is accurate.

    The Dirichlet distribution, a generalization of the beta distribution. The Ewens's sampling formula is a probability distribution on the set of all partitions of an integer n, arising in population genetics. The Balding–Nichols model; The multinomial distribution, a generalization of the binomial distribution.

  5. Noncentral F-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_F-distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the noncentral F-distribution is a continuous probability distribution that is a noncentral generalization of the (ordinary) F-distribution. It describes the distribution of the quotient ( X / n 1 )/( Y / n 2 ), where the numerator X has a noncentral chi-squared distribution with n 1 degrees of freedom and ...

    where F 1,n − 1 is the F-distribution with 1 and n − 1 degrees of freedom (see also Student's t-distribution). The final step here is effectively the definition of a random variable having the F-distribution.

  7. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The formula in the definition of characteristic function allows us to compute φ when we know the distribution function F (or density f). If, on the other hand, we know the characteristic function φ and want to find the corresponding distribution function, then one of the following inversion theorems can be used. Theorem.

  8. Degrees of freedom (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom...

    The F-test statistic is the ratio, after scaling by the degrees of freedom. If there is no difference between population means this ratio follows an F-distribution with 2 and 3n − 3 degrees of freedom. In some complicated settings, such as unbalanced split-plot designs, the sums-of-squares no longer have scaled chi-squared distributions ...

  9. One-way analysis of variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_analysis_of_variance

    Step 5: The F-ratio is = / The critical value is the number that the test statistic must exceed to reject the test. In this case, F crit (2,15) = 3.68 at α = 0.05. Since F=9.3 > 3.68, the results are significant at the 5% significance level. One would not accept the null hypothesis, concluding that there is strong evidence that the expected ...
