Advanced Excel Statistical - F.DIST Function
Description
The F.DIST function returns the F probability distribution. You can use this function to determine whether two data sets have different degrees of diversity.
Syntax
F.DIST(x,deg_freedom1,deg_freedom2,cumulative)
Arguments
Argument | Description | Required/ Optional |
---|---|---|
X | The value at which to evaluate the function. | Required |
Deg_freedom1 | The numerator degrees of freedom. | Required |
Deg_freedom2 | The denominator degrees of freedom. | Required |
Cumulative |
A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, F.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function. If cumulative is FALSE, F.DIST returns the probability density function. |
Required |
Notes
If deg_freedom1 or deg_freedom2 is not an integer, it is truncated.
If any argument is nonnumeric, F.DIST returns the #VALUE! error value.
If x is negative, F.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
If deg_freedom1 < 1, F.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
If deg_freedom2 < 1, F.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
