An Investigation of the Raudenbush (1988) Test for Studying Variance Heterogeneity.
Harwell, Michael
Journal of Experimental Education, v65 n2 p181-90 Win 1997
The meta-analytic method proposed by S. W. Raudenbush (1988) for studying variance heterogeneity was studied. Results of a Monte Carlo study indicate that the Type I error rate of the test is sensitive to even modestly platykurtic score distributions and to the ratio of study sample size to the number of studies.
