A Comparison of Some K-Sample Nonparametric Tests for Scale.

Penfield, Douglas A.; Koffler, Stephen L.

Journal of Experimental Education, v47 n2 p126-30 Win 1978-79

Three nonparametric alternatives to the parametric Bartlett test are presented for handling the K-sample equality of variance problem. The two-sample Siegel-Tukey test, Mood test, and Klotz test are extended to the multisample situation by Puri's methods. These K-sample scale tests are illustrated and compared. (Author/GDC)
