Properties

	Name	Description
	Alpha	Gets or sets the parameter alpha which is used for generation of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers.
	Beta	Gets or sets the parameter beta which is used for generation of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers.
	CanReset	Gets a value indicating whether the random number distribution can be reset, so that it produces the same random number sequence again. (Inherited from Distribution)
	Generator	Gets or sets a Generator object that can be used as underlying random number generator. (Inherited from Distribution)
	Maximum	Gets the maximum possible value of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMaximum)
	Mean	Gets the mean value of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMean)
	Median	Gets the median of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMedian)
	Minimum	Gets the minimum possible value of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMinimum)
	Mode	Gets the mode of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMode)
	Variance	Gets the variance of Fisher-Snedecor distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionVariance)

	CDF(Double, Double, Double)	Returns the cumulated distribution function for value x with the distribution parameters numf and denomf.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)

	NextDouble	Returns a Fisher-Snedecor distributed floating point random number. (Overrides DistributionNextDouble)
	PDF(Double)	Returns the probability density function for value x with the distribution parameters p and q. (Overrides ContinuousDistributionPDF(Double))
	PDF(Double, Double, Double)	Returns the probability density function for value x with the distribution parameters p and q.
	Quantile(Double)	Quantile of the F-distribution. (Overrides ContinuousDistributionQuantile(Double))
	Quantile(Double, Double, Double)	Quantile of the F-distribution.
	Reset	Resets the random number distribution, so that it produces the same random number sequence again. (Inherited from Distribution)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

The implementation of the FisherSnedecorDistribution type bases upon information presented on Wikipedia - F-distribution.

Copy

Return F-distributed (variance ratio distributed) random deviates
with n numerator degrees of freedom and d denominator degrees of freedom
according to the density:

  p   (x) dx =  ... dx
   a,b

Both paramters alpha and beta must be positive.

Method: The random numbers are directly generated from ratios of
        ChiSquare variates according to:

 F = (ChiSquare(alpha)/alpha) / (ChiSquare(beta)/beta)
