The F-distribution arises in statistics. If Y_1 and Y_2 are chi-squared deviates with \nu_1 and \nu_2 degrees of freedom then the ratio,
X = { (Y_1 / \nu_1) \over (Y_2 / \nu_2) }
has an F-distribution F(x;\nu_1,\nu_2).
p(x) dx =
{ \Gamma((\nu_1 + \nu_2)/2)
\over \Gamma(\nu_1/2) \Gamma(\nu_2/2) }
\nu_1^{\nu_1/2} \nu_2^{\nu_2/2}
x^{\nu_1/2 - 1} (\nu_2 + \nu_1 x)^{-\nu_1/2 -\nu_2/2}
for x >= 0.
