Description: A continuous statistical distribution which arises in the testing of whether two observed samples have the same variance. Let chi_m^2 and chi_n^2 be independent variates distributed as chi-squared with m and n degrees of freedom. Define a statistic F_(n,m) as the ratio of the dispersions of the two distributions F_(n,m)=(chi_n^2/n)/(chi_m^2/m). (1) This statistic then has an F-distribution on domain [0,infty) with probability function f_(n,m)(x) and cumulative distribution function...
