Defined in header <random>
template< class RealType = double > class fisher_f_distribution;		(since C++11)

Produces random numbers according to the F-distribution:

\(P(x;m,n)=\frac{\Gamma{(\frac{m+n}{2})} }{\Gamma{(\frac{m}{2})}\Gamma{(\frac{n}{2})} }{(\frac{m}{n})}^{\frac{m}{2} }x^{\frac{m}{2}-1}{(1+\frac{m}{n}x)}^{-\frac{m+n}{2} }\)P(x;m,n) =

Γ((m+n)/2)

Γ(m/2) Γ(n/2)

(m/n)m/2 x(m/2)-1 (1+

mx

n

)-(m+n)/2

\(\small m\)m and \(\small n\)n are the degrees of freedom.

std::fisher_f_distribution satisfies all requirements of RandomNumberDistribution.

Template parameters

RealType

-

The result type generated by the generator. The effect is undefined if this is not one of float, double, or long double.

Member types

Member type	Definition
result_type (C++11)	RealType
param_type (C++11)	the type of the parameter set, see RandomNumberDistribution.

Member functions

(constructor) (C++11)	constructs new distribution (public member function)
reset (C++11)	resets the internal state of the distribution (public member function)
Generation
operator() (C++11)	generates the next random number in the distribution (public member function)
Characteristics
mn (C++11)	returns the distribution parameters (public member function)
param (C++11)	gets or sets the distribution parameter object (public member function)
min (C++11)	returns the minimum potentially generated value (public member function)
max (C++11)	returns the maximum potentially generated value (public member function)

Non-member functions

operator==operator!= (C++11)(C++11)(removed in C++20)	compares two distribution objects (function)
operator<<operator>> (C++11)	performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number distribution (function template)
