F.INV function

PRO

The F.INV function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is used to calculate the inverse of the F probability distribution. In simpler terms, it helps you find the F-distribution value for a given probability, degree of freedom for the numerator, and degree of freedom for the denominator. This is especially useful in statistical analysis where you might need to test the variances across different data sets.

Documentation

Returns the inverse of the F probability distribution.

Syntax

F.INV(probability, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2)

Parameter	Description
`probability`	A probability value between 0 and 1.
`degrees_freedom1`	The numerator degrees of freedom for the distribution.
`degrees_freedom2`	The denominator degrees of freedom for the distribution.

Behavior

The F.INV function is used to return the inverse of the F probability distribution. If p = F.DIST(x,...), then F.INV(p,...) = x. The F distribution can be used in an F-test that compares the degree of variability in two data sets.

For the parameters, the function uses three arguments: probability, degrees_freedom1, and degrees_freedom2. All of these arguments must be numeric values or else the function will return an error.
If any of the argument cells are empty, the function will return an error.
If the argument cells contain non-numeric text, the function will return an error.
The function doesn't handle boolean values. If the argument cells contain boolean values, the function will return an error.
The function will also return an error if the probability is less than 0 or greater than 1, and if the degrees of freedom are less than 1.
The function can handle array formulas and will return an array of results if the arguments are arrays.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	Occurs if the supplied arguments are non-numeric.
#NUM!	Occurs if the supplied probability is less than 0 or greater than 1, or the degrees of freedom are less than 1.
#N/A	Occurs if required arguments are missing in an array context or not provided at all.

Best practices

Always ensure that the values you are feeding into the F.INV function are numeric. This function cannot handle non-numeric values and will return an error if it encounters one.

Pay attention to the range of acceptable values for each argument. The probability must be between 0 and 1, and the degrees of freedom must be greater than 0.

Use F.INV with other statistical functions to perform more complex statistical analyses.

Remember that F.INV is used to calculate the inverse of the F probability distribution. Make sure you understand the implications of this before using the function.

Usage

A few examples using the F.INV function.

F.INV(0.05, 3, 5) → Returns approximately 0.110  
F.INV(0.95, 4, 10) → Returns approximately 3.478
