StatsNCFPDF (x, n1, n2, d)

The StatsNCFPDF function returns the probability distribution function of the noncentral F distribution.

f(x;n1,n2,d)=exp(d/2)B(n12,n22)xn1/21(xn1+n2)(n1+n2)/2n1n1/2n2n2/21F1(n1+n22,n12,xdn12(xn1+n2)),\displaystyle f\left(x ; n_{1}, n_{2}, d\right)=\frac{\exp (-d / 2)}{B\left(\frac{n_{1}}{2}, \frac{n_{2}}{2}\right)} x^{n_{1} / 2-1}\left(x n_{1}+n_{2}\right)^{-\left(n_{1}+n_{2}\right) / 2} n_{1}^{n_{1} / 2} n_{2}^{n_{2} / 2}{ }_{1} F_{1}\left(\frac{n_{1}+n_{2}}{2}, \frac{n_{1}}{2}, \frac{x d n_{1}}{2\left(x n_{1}+n_{2}\right)}\right),

where B() is the beta function and 1F1() is the hypergeometric function HyperG1F1.
