[R] inverse F distribution in R?

[Matthias Kohl]

just a comment to "fstat"...

Using package "distrEx" one also has "fstat" functionality

library(distrEx)
E(Fd(df1 = 3, df2 = 3))
E(Fd(df1 = 4, df2 = 4))
E(Fd(df1 = 5, df2 = 5))
var(Fd(df1 = 5, df2 = 5))

for more functionals (skewness, kurtosis, IQR, ...) see for instance
help("var", package = "distrEx")
