Help with the F-test. mpftest.pro in particular. [message #53297]

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how the F-test works.

I created two fake datasets with 1e6 elements and a variance of 4

n = 1e6
s = 4
i1 = randomn(sss, n)*s
i2 = randomn(sss, n)*s

I then calculate the f value as the ration of the largest variance to
the smallest (the two sets have the same number of degrees of freedom,
n)

var = [variance(i1), variance(i2)]
vv = max(var, min=v)
f = vv/v

Then I print the probability that the variances are similar due to
pure chance (should be close to zero because the variances are *set*
to be th same)

print, mpftest(f, n, n)
--> 0.47958397

I must be doing something very wrong :-(

Can somebody help please?

Thanks,
Gianguido
