Let X be the ratio of independent chi-squared random variables having k1 and k2 degrees of freedom. (k1 = numerator, k2 = denominator). Then X has density ... (this will take three lines to type out) dF(X) = [ Gamma((k1 + k2)/2) / (Gamma(k1/2) * Gamma(k2/2)) ] * (k1/k2)^(k1/2) * X^((k1/2) - 1) * (1 + X * (k1/k2))^-((k1 + k2)/2) * dX My source is: Samuel S. Wilks. Mathematical Statistics. Wiley, 1962. equation (7.8.9), p. 186. q.v. Probably Google would turn up the same result.
Not to mention ?FDist... Looks better when printed via LaTeX or in the PDF version of the reference manual, though. To be specific, p. 213 of http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/refman.pdf
