I would guess that they are qf() or a variant thereof. I gather that
_fpdf
<http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/stats/fpdf.html>__,
fcdf
<http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/stats/fcdf.html>,
finv
<http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/stats/finv.html>,
frnd
<http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/stats/frnd.html>
i_n matlab is df, pf, qf, and rf in R. We don't have an equivalent of
fstat for mean and variance of the F distribution (this might actually
be nice to have).
