A note on the calculation of probabilities in an F -distribution

Abstract

Tests of significance based on analysis of variance calculations often require the determination of the probabilities of obtaining values of F greater than those arising from the analysis. These probabilities are customarily obtained from tables of the F -distribution. However, when the calculations are done on a computer, it would be convenient if estimates of these probabilities could be calculated by the analysis of variance program and presented in the output of the results. This note gives a simple method of doing so.

Misreading Needs: The Question of Capacity Building and Local Participation among Displaced Muslim Women in Puttalam District

“…The simple transfer of information may not require great effort, but building knowledge, changing behaviour, and altering attitudes require investments with significantly different orders of magnitude. 12 The absence or lack of capacities within any given indigenous organisation should be viewed as a long-term problem. Therefore, the typical donor time-frame of three to five years is insufficient; the development of a viable organisation should be considered a progressive and gradual intervention.…”

The Calculation of Probabilities Corresponding To Values of z, t, F, and Chi-Square

“…He has also made available closer approximations, involving equations of higher order. Smillie and Anstey (1964) present another version of (3). As far as the writer knows, Smillie and Anstey were the first to connect the F and z transformation with a Hastings approximation.…”
