Evaluates the noncentral F cumulative distribution function (CDF).
Synopsis
#include <imsls.h>
float
imsls_f_non_central_F_cdf (float
f, float df_numerator,
float df_denominator,
float lambda)
The type double function is imsls_d_non_central_F_cdf.
Required Arguments
float f
(Input)
Argument
for which the noncentral F cumulative distribution function is to be
evaluated. f must be
non-negative.
float
df_numerator
(Input)
Numerator degrees of
freedom of the noncentral F distribution. df_numerator must be
positive.
float
df_denominator
(Input)
Denominator degrees of
freedom of the noncentral F distribution.
df_denominator must be
positive.
float
lambda
(Input)
Noncentrality
parameter. lambda must be
non-negative.
Return Value
The probability that a noncentral F random variable takes a value less than or equal to f.
Description
If X is a noncentral chi-square random variable with noncentrality parameter λ and ν1 degrees of freedom, and Y is a chi-square random variable with ν2 degrees of freedom which is statistically independent of X, then
is a noncentral F-distributed random variable whose CDF is given by:
where the probability density function PDF(x) is given by:
and G(.) is
the gamma function, n1 = df_numerator,
n2 = df_denominator,
l
= lambda,
and f = f.
With a noncentrality parameter of zero, the noncentral F distribution is the same as the F distribution.
Example
This example traces out a portion of a noncentral F cumulative distribution function with parameters df_numerator = 100, df_denominator = 10, and lambda = 10.
#include <imsls.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
float f[] = {0., .4, .8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.8, 4.0};
float df_numerator = 100., df_denominator = 10., lambda =10., cdfv;
printf ("df_numerator: %4.0f\n", df_numerator);
printf ("df_denominator: %4.0f\n", df_denominator);
printf ("lambda: %4.0f\n\n", lambda);
printf (" f cdf(f)\n\n");
for (i=0; i<8; i++) {
cdfv = imsls_f_non_central_F_cdf
(f[i], df_numerator, df_denominator, lambda);
printf (" %5.1f %12.4e\n", f[i], cdfv);
}
}
Output
df_numerator: 100
df_denominator: 10
lambda: 10
