The f-statistic is a ratio used in statistical analysis to determine the significance of a model, specifically in the context of regression analysis. It compares the variance explained by the model to the variance unexplained, helping to assess whether the independent variables collectively have a statistically significant effect on the dependent variable. A higher f-statistic value indicates that the model provides a better fit for the data compared to a simpler model.
