ABSTRACT
This paper provides a three-moment normal fit to a power transformation of the noncentral F-distribution. Comments on the normal approximations to the noncentral F-distribution are given. An inconsistency involving powcr transformations, pointed out by Laubscher, is also considered. Applications to approximate other noncentral distributions are given.
