how to do whitening transformation of f statistic in matlab

To perform the whitening transformation of an F-statistic in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Compute the F-statistic value using the appropriate formula or statistical test in MATLAB.

2. Calculate the degrees of freedom for the numerator and denominator of the F-statistic. Let's call them df1 and df2, respectively.

3. Use the inverse F-distribution (chi-squared distribution) to find the critical value at a given significance level. This critical value will be used to determine the threshold for whitening the F-statistic.

4. Compute the whitened F-statistic by dividing the original F-statistic by the square root of the critical value:

   main.m
   % Original F-statistic value
   fStat = ...;
   
   % Significance level
   alpha = ...;
   
   % Degrees of freedom
   df1 = ...;
   df2 = ...;
   
   % Compute critical value from inverse F-distribution (chi-squared distribution)
   critValue = finv(1 - alpha, df1, df2);
   
   % Compute whitened F-statistic
   whitenedFStat = fStat / sqrt(critValue);

Note that this whitening transformation is useful for comparing the original F-statistic value to a threshold determined by the significance level. If the whitened F-statistic is below the threshold, it suggests that the original F-statistic is significant at the chosen significance level.
