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