Function to compute the Cochran test statistic

Description

Function to estimate the Cochran test statistic.

Usage

cochran.test(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
cochran.test(
  x,
  var.index = 1,
  replicate.index = 2,
  material.index = 3,
  laboratory.index = 4,
  data.name = NULL,
  alpha = 0.05,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'lab.qcdata'
cochran.test(x, alpha = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class lab.qcdata (Univariate Quality Control Data).
...	Other arguments passed to or from methods.
var.index	A scalar with the column number corresponding to the observed variable (the critical to quality variable). Alternativelly can be a string with the name of the quality variable.
replicate.index	A scalar with the column number corresponding to the index each replicate.
material.index	A scalar corresponding to the replicated number.
laboratory.index	A scalar that defines the index number of each laboratory.
data.name	A string specifying the name of the variable which appears on the plots. If name is not provided, it is taken from the object given as data.
alpha	The significance level (0.05 by default)
