ToString()()()()
Returns a String that represents the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Variance
Gets the variance of the distribution.
(Overrides Distribution..::..Variance.)

Remarks

The ratio of the variances of two sets of normally distributed variables is distributed according to Fisher's F-distribution.

Many test statistics are ratios of variances and are therefore distributed according to the F-distribution. These include the F-test (FisherFTest(Sample, Sample)), the goodness-of-fit test for a multi-linear regression (LinearRegression(Int32)), and ANOVA tests (OneWayAnovaTest(IList<(Of <<'(Sample>)>>))).

The Fisher distribution is related to the Beta distribution (BetaDistribution) by a simple variable transformation.
