Cumulative distribution function¶
-
fdtr
(df1, df2, x)¶ Returns the area from zero to x under the F density function (also known as Snedcor’s density or the variance ratio density).
Parameters:
Description¶
This is the density of x = (u1/df1)/(u2/df2), where u1 and u2 are random variables having Chi square distributions with df1 and df2 degrees of freedom, respectively.
The incomplete beta integral is used according to the formula:
P(x) = incbet(df1/2, df2/2, (df1 * x/(df2 + df1*x))
The arguments a and b are greater than zero, and x is nonnegative.
Accuracy¶
Tested at random points (a, b, x).
