the cumulative distribution function. Must be in the range [0, 1]. nc : array_like Noncentrality parameter. Should be in range (0, 1e4). f : array_like Quantiles, i.e., the upper limit of integration. out : ndarray, optional Optional output array for the function results Returns ------- dfd : scalar or ndarray Degrees of freedom of the denominator sum of squares. See Also -------- ncfdtr : CDF of the non-central F distribution. ncfdtri : Quantile function; inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `f`. ncfdtridfn : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `dfn`. ncfdtrinc : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `nc`. Notes ----- The value of the cumulative noncentral F distribution is not necessarily monotone in either degrees of freedom. There thus may be two values that provide a given CDF value. This routine assumes monotonicity and will find an arbitrary one of the two values. Examples -------- >>> from scipy.special import ncfdtr, ncfdtridfd Compute the CDF for several values of `dfd`: >>> dfd = [1, 2, 3] >>> p = ncfdtr(2, dfd, 0.25, 15) >>> p array([ 0.8097138 , 0.93020416, 0.96787852]) Compute the inverse. We recover the values of `dfd`, as expected: >>> ncfdtridfd(2, p, 0.25, 15) array([ 1., 2., 3.]) Ú ncfdtridfnaå
