The $F$-test is a coefficient whose purpose is to check for equality of variances of $2$ populations.
In an analysis of variance:
- the null hypothesis is that two components estimate the same variance
- the alternative hypothesis is that the numerator component estimates a greater variance.
The latter occurrence is indicated by a high $F$ value.
It can also be used to test the acceptance of the hypothesis that two samples are from normal distributions with the same variance.
