q |
F-distribution is non-symmetric.
|
|
|
q |
There are two critical F values of unequal magnitude.
|
|
|
q |
Whether to use the upper or the lower critical value depends on the
|
|
|
relative magnitudes of S1 and
S2:
|
|
|
If S1
> S2, then use the upper limit
FU to reject the null hypothesis
|
|
|
If S1
< S2, then use the
lower limit FL to reject the null
hypothesis
|
|
|
q |
Or you can always make S1
> S2 when F is defined. In this
case, you
|
|
can always use the upper limit to examine the hypothesis.
