FDistributionNoncentral: Noncentral F Distribution Class

FDistributionNoncentralR Documentation

Noncentral F Distribution Class

Description

Mathematical and statistical functions for the Noncentral F distribution, which is commonly used in ANOVA testing and is the ratio of scaled Chi-Squared distributions.

Details

The Noncentral F distribution parameterised with two degrees of freedom parameters, μ, ν, and location, λ, # nolint is defined by the pdf,

f(x) = ∑_{r=0}^{∞} ((exp(-λ/2)(λ/2)^r)/(B(ν/2, μ/2+r)r!))(μ/ν)^{μ/2+r}(ν/(ν+xμ))^{(μ+ν)/2+r}x^{μ/2-1+r}

for μ, ν > 0, λ ≥ 0.

Value

Returns an R6 object inheriting from class SDistribution.

Distribution support

The distribution is supported on the Positive Reals.

Default Parameterisation

FNC(df1 = 1, df2 = 1, location = 0)

Methods

Public methods

Inherited methods

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage
FDistributionNoncentral$new(
  df1 = NULL,
  df2 = NULL,
  location = NULL,
  decorators = NULL
)
Arguments
df1

(numeric(1))
First degree of freedom of the distribution defined on the positive Reals.

df2

(numeric(1))
Second degree of freedom of the distribution defined on the positive Reals.

location

(numeric(1))
Location parameter, defined on the Reals.

decorators

(character())
Decorators to add to the distribution during construction.


Method mean()

The arithmetic mean of a (discrete) probability distribution X is the expectation

E_X(X) = ∑ p_X(x)*x

with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.

Usage
FDistributionNoncentral$mean(...)
Arguments
...

Unused.


Method 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.

Usage
FDistributionNoncentral$variance(...)
Arguments
...

Unused.


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage
FDistributionNoncentral$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
