Talk:F-distribution

The second line of TeX on this page is not working. Why not? Michael Hardy 00:20, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

There's only one line of TeX on the page. I've tried to fix it but failed; the TeX system here has been tempremental recently, I think... Dysprosia 00:26, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] F-statistics

I've split out F-statistics into a population genetics article, but I'd like a proper statistician to go over it and explain how they are related :) Dunc| 21:26, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable external links? Input please

Greetings all,

Recently User:128.135.17.105 removed several external links (Critical F Calculator, Fisher F Calculator for Hierarchical Multiple Regression, and Fisher F Calculator for Multiple Regression) that I had placed on this page to several F distribution-related online calculators that are available for free on my website. The reason given for this removal by User:128.135.17.105 is that the links are questionable. I would like to hear whether or not this is the majority opinion, as I believe that the free calculators provide a great deal of value to the page. Here's why:

1. The table of critical F-values linked to from this page (Table of critical values of the F-distribution) is not exhaustive. The free calculator that I propose linking to can compute critical F-values for a much wider range of research needs.
2. The other external link (Online significance testing with the F-distribution) computes probabilities for F-values, but not critical values of the F-distribution.
3. There are currently no external links on the page to F-distribution calculators designed for multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression analyses -- the proposed links would fill this void.

Out of respect for the opinion of User:128.135.17.105, I will not repost the links right away. If anyone agrees that there is value in the external links that User:128.135.17.105 removed, please let the community know by posting your thoughts here. I would particularly enjoy discussing this issue further with User:128.135.17.105, as I believe that (in the spirit of Wikipedia) we can resolve this issue amicably.  :-)

I am researcher in africa and find f-distribution calculators very useful. Plaese repost! --202.72.105.130 22:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the links should be reposted, with a few reservations. Please see my comments on the matter here: Talk:Chi-square distribution. -J.K., Kings College
