R help - Nov 2007 - Fligner-Killeen

Dear R experts,

I am looking  at the Fligner-Killeen statistic to perform a
"homegenity of variance" test across multiple data sets.  However I
cannot find any reference to any paper or other bibliography where the
theory behind this test is explained. I have looked (google) for
information on both Fligner and Killeen without success (the first
result from a google search in Fligner-Killeen is R documentation...)
could someone point me to any article (or the title) where this test
is described?


Thank you.

	Is the reference given in the on-line documentation not
	good enough for you?  (This reference cites the original
	paper by Fligner and Killeen, moreover.)
