ncfdtridfn : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `dfn`. ncfdtrinc : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `nc`. scipy.stats.ncf : Non-central F distribution. Notes ----- This function calculates the CDF of the non-central f distribution using the Boost Math C++ library [1]_. The cumulative distribution function is computed using Formula 26.6.20 of [2]_: .. math:: F(d_n, d_d, n_c, f) = \sum_{j=0}^\infty e^{-n_c/2} \frac{(n_c/2)^j}{j!} I_{x}(\frac{d_n}{2} + j, \frac{d_d}{2}), where :math:`I` is the regularized incomplete beta function, and :math:`x = f d_n/(f d_n + d_d)`. Note that argument order of `ncfdtr` is different from that of the similar ``cdf`` method of `scipy.stats.ncf`: `f` is the last parameter of `ncfdtr` but the first parameter of ``scipy.stats.ncf.cdf``.

Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy import special >>> from scipy import stats >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt Plot the CDF of the non-central F distribution, for nc=0. Compare with the F-distribution from scipy.stats: >>> x = np.linspace(-1, 8, num=500) >>> dfn = 3 >>> dfd = 2 >>> ncf_stats = stats.f.cdf(x, dfn, dfd) >>> ncf_special = special.ncfdtr(dfn, dfd, 0, x) >>> fig = plt.figure() >>> ax = fig.add_subplot(111) >>> ax.plot(x, ncf_stats, 'b-', lw=3) >>> ax.plot(x, ncf_special, 'r-') >>> plt.show() Ú
