Distribution

public class FDistribution
extends AbstractDistribution

F-distribution arises in the testing of whether two observed samples have the same variance. A random variate of the F-distribution arises as the ratio of two chi-squared variates:

 U1 / d1
 -------
 U2 / d2
 

where U1 and U2 have chi-square distributions with d1 and d2 degrees of freedom respectively, and U1 and U2 are independent.
