f-test

The F-test is a statistical method used to compare the variances of two or more groups, primarily in the context of regression analysis and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). It assesses whether the means of different populations are significantly different from each other by evaluating the ratio of variances. In regression analysis, the F-test helps determine if a more complex model provides a better fit to the data compared to a simpler model. By testing the null hypothesis that all regression coefficients are equal to zero, the F-test aids in understanding the explanatory power of the independent variables in predicting the dependent variable.

The F-Test for Regression Analysis

 Towards Data Science

The F-test, when used for regression analysis, lets you compare two competing regression models in their ability to “explain” the variance in the dependent variable.
