statistics: y = fpdf (x, df1, df2)

F-probability density function (PDF).

For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the F-distribution with df1 and df2 degrees of freedom. The size of y is the common size of x, df1, and df2. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Further information about the F-distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-distribution

 ## Plot various PDFs from the F distribution
 x = 0.01:0.01:4;
 y1 = fpdf (x, 1, 1);
 y2 = fpdf (x, 2, 1);
 y3 = fpdf (x, 5, 2);
 y4 = fpdf (x, 10, 1);
 y5 = fpdf (x, 100, 100);
 plot (x, y1, "-b", x, y2, "-g", x, y3, "-r", x, y4, "-c", x, y5, "-m")
