База Знаний: Calc. Примеры вычислений


FTEST

Возвращает результат F-теста (двусторонний уровень значимости).

Syntax:

FTEST(data1; data2)

data1 and data2 are ranges or arrays (possibly of different size) containing numbers, on which the F-test is performed. The F-test calculates the likelihood that two samples have the same variance.
In effect, the sample variances of data1 and data2 are calculated. data1 and data2 are re-ordered if necessary so that data1 has the larger variance (σ1) and data2 the smaller (σ2), and an F_value is calculated as σ12. The result returned by FTEST is 2*FDIST(F_value; COUNT(data1)-1; COUNT(data2)-1). This is the two-tailed probability that the variances in data1 and data2 are not significantly different. (The internal algorithms used by Calc are more sophisticated than this).
Advanced topic:
The parameters data1 and data2 are always evaluated as array formulas.

Example:

FTEST({9;8;6;8}; {5;6;7})

возвращает приблизительное значение 0.82. The probability that the variances of these two samples are not significantly different is about 82%. Note: a real world example would need more data than this.

Issues:

  • Earlier versions of Excel and the ODFF draft specification incorrectly claimed this was a one-tailed test.
