Section: Random Number Generation
Generates a vector of non-central F-distributed random variables with the specified parameters. The general syntax for its use is
y = randnf(n,m,c)
where n
is the number of degrees of freedom in the numerator, and m
is the number of degrees of freedom in the denominator. The vector c
determines the non-centrality shift of the numerator.
A non-central F-distributed random variable is the ratio of a non-central chi-square random variable and a central chi-square random variable, i.e.,
Here we use the randf
to generate some non-central F-distributed random variables:
--> randnf(5*ones(1,9),7,1.34) ans = Columns 1 to 7 0.5880 1.6093 0.4639 0.7857 2.5543 0.5044 3.3383 Columns 8 to 9 1.4102 1.1489
