FDIST function

PRO

The FDIST function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a useful tool for statistical analysis. It returns the cumulative distribution function of the F-distribution, which is a probability that is used in hypothesis testing. Essentially, this function can help you determine the likelihood of a particular outcome based on specific data inputs. It's especially valuable in fields like research, where data analysis and interpretation are key.

Documentation

Returns the cumulative distribution function of the F-distribution.

Category

Statistical

Syntax

FDIST(x, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2)

Parameter Description
x The value at which to evaluate the function.
degrees_freedom1 The numerator degrees of freedom for the distribution.
degrees_freedom2 The denominator degrees of freedom for the distribution.

Behavior

The FDIST function is used to calculate the F Probability Distribution, which is often used in analysis of variance. Here's how it handles different situations:

  • Empty cells: If the cell is empty, the function will treat it as a zero.
  • Text: Text input in FDIST function will result in an error.
  • Booleans: If a boolean value is passed, Jspreadsheet converts it to its numeric equivalent (TRUE = 1, FALSE = 0) before calculation, which may lead to unexpected results or errors depending on the context.
  • Errors: If any of the input cells have errors, the function will propagate the error.
  • Non-numeric values: If non-numeric value is passed as an argument, FDIST function will return an error.
  • Negative values: The x value must be non-negative, and both degrees_freedom1 and degrees_freedom2 must be positive integers. Otherwise, #NUM! is returned.

Common Errors

Error Description
#VALUE! This error occurs when any of the input arguments are non-numeric or boolean values.
#NUM! This error is displayed when negative values are passed as input arguments.
#DIV/0! This error occurs when degrees_freedom2 is zero, as division by zero is undefined.

Best practices

  • Always ensure that the input values are numeric and non-negative to avoid errors.
  • Remember that FDIST function treats empty cells as zero.
  • Avoid using text or boolean values as input arguments in FDIST function.
  • Always check your input cell for errors to avoid error propagation.

Usage

A few examples using the FDIST function.

FDIST(15.206, 3, 5)   // Returns cumulative probability for x=15.206 with df1=3, df2=5  
FDIST(20, 5, 10)      // Returns cumulative probability for x=20 with df1=5, df2=10  
FDIST(8.15, 2, 10)    // Returns cumulative probability for x=8.15 with df1=2, df2=10  
FDIST(-5, 3, 5)       // Returns #NUM! because x cannot be negative  
FDIST(10, 0, 5)       // Returns #NUM! because df1 must be greater than zero  
FDIST(10, 3, 0)       // Returns #DIV/0! because df2 cannot be zero
