Abstract:

Methods for evaluating the joint cumulative probability integral associated with random variables ${F_k} = ({X_k}/{r_k})/(Y/s),k = 1,2, \cdots ,n$, are considered where the ${X_k}$ and $Y$ are independently ${\chi ^2}({r_k})$ and ${\chi ^2}(s)$, respectively. For $n = 2$, series representations in terms of incomplete beta distributions are given, while a quadrature with efficient procedures for the integrand is presented for $n \geqq 2$. The results for $n = 2$ are applied to the evaluation of the correlated bivariate $F$ distribution.
