fkk.test: k-Sample version of the Fligner-Kileen test for homogeneous...

In npsm: Nonparametric Statistical Methods

k-Sample version of the Fligner-Kileen test for homogeneous scales.

Description

Returns the Fligner-Kileen test for homogeneous scales for k-samples. Also estimates of ratio of scales based on the logs of folded median-aligned samples and a corresponding confidence interval is computed. The first level (sample) is referenced. See the discussion in Section 5.7 of Kloke and McKean (2014)/Section 5.8 of Kloke and McKean (2024).

Usage

fkk.test(y,ind,conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

y	vector of responses
ind	vector of corresponding levels
conf.level	confidence coefficient for the returned confidence intervals

Details

Returns the Fligner-Kileen test for the k-sample scale problem.

Value

statistic	chi-squared test statistic
p.value	p-value of the test
estimate	vector of estimates of ratio of scales
conf.int	table of confidence intervals
cwts	vector of weights based on the estimates difference in scales
