In 0.99.0 the pf function takes an argument ncp, which is the
noncentrality parameter.

FDist                  package:base                  R Documentation

The F Distribution

Description:

     Density, distribution function, quantile function and random
     generation for the F distribution with `df1' and `df2' degrees of
     freedom (and optional non-centrality parameter `ncp').

Usage:

     df(x, df1, df2, log = FALSE)
     pf(q, df1, df2, ncp=0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
     qf(p, df1, df2,        lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
     rf(n, df1, df2)

Arguments:

    x, q: vector of quantiles.

       p: vector of probabilities.

       n: number of observations to generate.

df1, df2: degrees of freedom.

     ncp: non-centrality parameter.

log, log.p: logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail: logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x],
          otherwise, P[X > x].
