An F test, also known as the overall significance test, is used to test the hypothesis that all of the regression parameters are equal to zero. This test is performed by comparing the F-statistic to a critical value from an F-distribution with degrees of freedom equal to the number of variables in the model numerator and the number of observations minus the number of variables in the model denominator. A significant F-value (i.e. p-value less than the chosen significance level) indicates that at least one of the regression coefficients is non-zero, and therefore, the model is a significant fit for the data.
