	Normal distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The normal distribution also arises in many areas of statistics: for example, the sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normal, even if the distribution of the population the sample is taken from is not normal.
		The normal distribution was first introduced by de Moivre in an article in 1733 (reprinted in the second edition of his The Doctrine of Chances, 1738) in the context of approximating certain binomial distributions for large n.
		The derivation of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution is perhaps surprisingly subtle and elegant.

	F distribution (1 of 3) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The F distribution is the distribution of the ratio of two estimates of variance.
		The F distribution has two parameters: degrees of freedom numerator (dfn) and degrees of freedom denominator (dfd).
		The shape of the F distribution depends on dfn and dfd.

	Cumulative distribution function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is conventional to use a capital F for a cumulative distribution function, in contrast to the lower-case f used for probability density functions and probability mass functions.
		Continuity of the distribution implies that P(X = a) = P(X = b) = 0, so the difference between "<" and "≤" ceases to be important in this context.) The function f is equal to the derivative of F almost everywhere, and it is called the probability density function of the distribution of X.
		The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is based on cumulative distribution functions and can be used to test to see whether two empirical distributions are different or whether an empirical distribution is different from an ideal distribution.

	The Fisher F Distribution
		The distribution defined by the density function in Exercise 1 is known as the F distribution with m degrees of freedom in the numerator and n degrees of freedom in the denominator.

		Show that 1/X has the F distribution with n degrees of freedom in the numerator and m degrees of freedom in the denominator.

	Distribution Tables
		The F distribution is a right-skewed distribution used most commonly in Analysis of Variance (see ANOVA/MANOVA).
		The F distribution is a ratio of two Chi-square distributions, and a specific F distribution is denoted by the degrees of freedom for the numerator Chi-square and the degrees of freedom for the denominator Chi-square.
		For example, to determine the.05 critical value for an F distribution with 10 and 12 degrees of freedom, look in the 10 column (numerator) and 12 row (denominator) of the F Table for alpha=.05.

		distribution, the F distribution is a special case of the noncentral F distribution.
		If the numerator of the ratio is a noncentral chi-square random variable divided by its degrees of freedom, the resulting distribution is the noncentral F distribution.
		The main application of the noncentral F distribution is to calculate the power of a hypothesis test relative to a particular alternative.

	Statistical Inference
		For example, N(mu,sigma^2) represents the family of normal distributions where mu corresponds to the mean of a normal distribution and ranges over the real numbers (R) and sigma^2 corresponds to the variance of a normal distribution and ranges over the positive real numbers (R^+).
		In many practical cases, we are forced to choose a family of distributions not knowing whether or not the distribution generating the observed samples is in this particular family.
		For example, if the generating distribution is a zero-mean normal distribution, then the sample variance is a sufficient statistic for estimating sigma^2.
