PHP stats_dens_f() Function


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP stats_dens_f() Function.

The built-in stats_dens_f() function is the probability density function of f distribution.

Syntax

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

float stats_dens_f( float $x, float $dfr1, float $dfr2 )


Parameter Details

Sr.NoParameterDescription
1

x

The value at which the probability density is calculated

2

dfr1

The degree of freedom of the distribution.

3

dfr2

The degree of freedom of the distribution.


Return Value

This built-in function returns the probability density at x, where the random variable can follow the f distribution of which the degree of freedoms are dfr1 and dfr2, else false on failure.

Dependencies

This built-in function was first introduced in statistics extension (PHP version 4.0.0 and PEAR v1.4.0). In this tutorial guide, we used the latest release of stats-2.0.3 (PHP v7.0.0 or newer and PEAR version 1.4.0 or newer).

Example1

The following example below computes the probability density for each x -

<?php
   // check for each x
   foreach (range(0, 3, 0.5) as $x) {
      var_dump(round(stats_dens_f($x, 3, 2), 6));
      echo "<br>";
   }
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

float(0)
float(0.48097)
float(0.278855)
float(0.177241)
float(0.121785)
float(0.088606)
float(0.067279)

Example2

The following example below computes the probability density for each dfr1 -

<?php
   // check for each dfr1
   foreach (range(0.5, 3, 0.5) as $dfr1) {
      var_dump(round(stats_dens_f(1, $dfr1, 2), 6));
      echo "<br>";
   }
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following output -

float(0.133748)
float(0.19245)
float(0.227008)
float(0.25)
float(0.266463)
float(0.278855)

Example3

The following example below computes the probability density for each dfr2 -

<?php
   // check for each dfr2
   foreach (range(0.5, 3, 0.5) as $dfr2) {
      var_dump(round(stats_dens_f(1, 3, $dfr2), 6));
      echo "<br>";
   }
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following output -

float(0.139548)
float(0.206748)
float(0.249129)
float(0.278855)
float(0.301042)
float(0.31831)


Alright guys! This is where we are going to be rounding up for this tutorial post. In our next tutorial, we are going to be discussing about the built-in PHP stats_dens_gamma() Function.
