[FieldTrip] ANOVA and tails

[Sysoeva, Olga Vladimirovna]

Dear Fieldtrippers,
I've tried to use between subject ANOVA (independentF) and a bit confused with the tails.
I've got the following message
"For an independent samples F-statistic, it does not make sense to calculate a two-sided critical value."
Could you explain me why? Why only right tail is possible?
Best Regards,
Olga.
