R help - Feb 2020 - comparing variances between two sets of p values for two different conditions

Hello,

I have a set of two conditions: individual.variance and
intra.individual.variance
with their p values.

Does it make sense to compare variances between those two groups with
F test via:

var.test(b$inter.individual.variance, b$intra.individual.variance,
alternative = "two.sided")

If not which test you would recommend in this case?

Thanks
Ana

As you have been told before, I believe, such questions are generally
offtopic here. For purely statistical issues, post on a statistical site
like stats.stackexchange.com
