+## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{mn}, @var{v}] =} fstat (@var{m}, @var{n})
+## Compute mean and variance of the F distribution.
+##
+## @subheading Arguments
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{m} is the first parameter of the F distribution. The elements
+## of @var{m} must be positive
+##
+## @item
+## @var{n} is the second parameter of the F distribution. The
+## elements of @var{n} must be positive
+## @end itemize
+## @var{m} and @var{n} must be of common size or one of them must be scalar
+##
+## @subheading Return values
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{mn} is the mean of the F distribution. The mean is undefined for
+## @var{n} not greater than 2
+##
+## @item
+## @var{v} is the variance of the F distribution. The variance is undefined
+## for @var{n} not greater than 4
+## @end itemize
+##
+## @subheading Examples
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## m = 1:6;
+## n = 5:10;
+## [mn, v] = fstat (m, n)
+## @end group
+##
+## @group
+## [mn, v] = fstat (m, 5)
