fitFDist {limma} | R Documentation |
Moment estimation of the parameters of a scaled F-distribution given one of the degrees of freedom.
This function is called internally by ebayes
and is not usually called directly by a user.
fitFDist(x,df1)
x |
numeric vector or array of positive values representing a sample from an F-distribution. |
df1 |
the first degrees of freedom of the F-distribution. May be an integer or a vector of the same length as x . |
The function estimates scale
and df2
under the assumption that x
is distributed as scale
times an F-distributed random variable on df1
and df2
degrees of freedom.
A list containing the components
scale |
scale factor for F-distribution |
df2 |
the second degrees of freedom of the F-distribution |
