Mathematical and statistical functions for the 'F' distribution, which is commonly used in ANOVA testing and is the ratio of scaled Chi-Squared distributions..
Returns an R6 object inheriting from class SDistribution.
The 'F' distribution parameterised with two degrees of freedom parameters, \(\mu, \nu\), is defined by the pdf, $$f(x) = \Gamma((\mu + \nu)/2) / (\Gamma(\mu/2) \Gamma(\nu/2)) (\mu/\nu)^{\mu/2} x^{\mu/2 - 1} (1 + (\mu/\nu) x)^{-(\mu + \nu)/2}$$ for \(\mu, \nu > 0\).
The distribution is supported on the Positive Reals.

FDistribution$new(df1 = NULL, df2 = NULL, decorators = NULL)mean()The arithmetic mean of a (discrete) probability distribution X is the expectation $$E_X(X) = \sum p_X(x)*x$$ with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.
mode()The mode of a probability distribution is the point at which the pdf is a local maximum, a distribution can be unimodal (one maximum) or multimodal (several maxima).
variance()The variance of a distribution is defined by the formula $$var_X = E[X^2] - E[X]^2$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X. If the distribution is multivariate the covariance matrix is returned.
skewness()The skewness of a distribution is defined by the third standardised moment, $$sk_X = E_X[\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}^3]$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X, \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation of the distribution.
kurtosis()The kurtosis of a distribution is defined by the fourth standardised moment, $$k_X = E_X[\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}^4]$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X, \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation of the distribution. Excess Kurtosis is Kurtosis - 3.
entropy()The entropy of a (discrete) distribution is defined by $$- \sum (f_X)log(f_X)$$ where \(f_X\) is the pdf of distribution X, with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.
mgf()The moment generating function is defined by $$mgf_X(t) = E_X[exp(xt)]$$ where X is the distribution and \(E_X\) is the expectation of the distribution X.
pgf()The probability generating function is defined by $$pgf_X(z) = E_X[exp(z^x)]$$ where X is the distribution and \(E_X\) is the expectation of the distribution X.
