fisher_f

Syntax

fisher_f(m, n)

Parameters

m
A numeric expression representing the degree of freedom for the first Chi-squared distribution
n
A numeric expression representing the degree of freedom for the second Chi-squared distribution

Returns

Returns a number consistent with the Fisher-F distribution.

Description

Returns numbers according to a Fisher-F distribution. This distribution produces random numbers as the result of dividing two independent Chi-squared distributions of m and n degrees of freedom.

This action returns a variate of a Fisher-F distribution. The distribution is the same as the one described here.

The action returns a single value for the current agent that is consistent with the distribution. Over a large number of agents, the returned values will collectively represent the specified distribution.
