Hi, I'm a new user of R. My background is Electrical Engineering, so please bear with me if this is a silly question. I'm trying to assess whether the results of an experiment satisfy the hypothesis of homoscedasticity (my ultimate goal is to use ANOVA). The result of the experiment is mean delay (dT), which depends on three factors, topology, drift, and lambda. The first two factors are

Can anybody tell me if there is an R implementation of the Fligner-Policello robust rank test? Thanks, Elisabetta

Hello, I investigate survival until the following year (0,1) and I wish to test if the variance in survival for two or more groups are significantly different from each other. I read that the Fligner-Killeen test is a non-parametric test which is very robust against departures from normality but is it correct (valuable technique for publication) to use it on binary data? In other

That's not an R question but a stats question, but I wouldn't do it. For one thing: The variance of binary data is a function of the mean, so the research question is dubious in the first place. Secondly, the test is based on ranking and comparing absolute differences from the group median, which for binary data is generally 0 or 1, so all absolute differences will be 1.... Put

Dear r-helpers, Prior to analysis of variance, I ran the Boxcox function (MASS library) to find the best power transformation of my data. However, reading the Boxcox help file, I cannot figure out if this function (through its associated log-likelihood function) corrects for * normality only * or if it also induces * homogeneity of variances *. I found in Biometry (Sokal and Rohlf, p. 419)

In specific cases fligner.test() can produce a small p-value even when both groups have constant variance. Here is an illustration: fligner.test(c(1,1,2,2), c("a","a","b","b")) # p-value = NA But: fligner.test(c(1,1,1,2,2,2), c("a","a","a","b","b","b")) # p-value < 2.2e-16

Dear all a couple of months ago i've found threads regard test that verify AnOVa assumption on homogeneity of variances. Prof. Ripley advice LDA / QDA procedures, many books (and many proprietary programs) advice Hartley's F_max, Cochran's minimum/maximum variance ratio (only balanced experiments), K^2 Bartlett's test, Levene's test. Morton B. Brown and Alan B. Forsythe in a

Hi R users! I have the following problem: how appropriate is my aov model under the violation of anova assumptions? Example: a<-c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3) b<-c(101,1010,200,300,400, 202, 121, 234, 55,555,66,76,88,34,239, 30, 40, 50,50,60) z<-data.frame(a, b) fligner.test(z$b, factor(z$a)) aov(z$b~factor(z$a))->ll TukeyHSD(ll) Now from the aov i found that my model

I have a bunch of benchmark measurements that look something like this: sample.1 0.0000066660 0.0000062500 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 sample.2 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 0.0000058330 sample.3 0.0000062500 0.0000062500 0.0000070830 0.0000062500 0.0000066660 i.e each measurement take on one of a set of values. The set values isn't fixed, but

Hi All, is there Levene' test in R ? If not ,Could you give me some advice about Levene test with R? Thanks a lot! I am waiting for yours.

Hello Using R 2.2.1 on a Windows machine. Has anyone programmed the Welch test for equality of variances? I tried RSiteSearch, but this gave references to t test and oneway.test, which are not quite what I need.....I need the Welch test itself, for use in a meta-analysis (to determine if variances are equal).

Dear all, I'm a beginner of R and I need to carry out some three-way mixed ANOVAs. Following examples at http://personality-project.org/r/r.anova.html, I managed to get the ANOVA part, but I don't know how can I check data normality and homogeneity of variance in R (since they're the required assumptions of ANOVA analysis). Are there any special command/packages? Could anyone give me

Has the Levene test of homogeneity of variance been implemented in any library in R?

Warranty on Accuracy, Precision, Legality, ... of R in Research (These questions may well have been raised.) What is the implied warranty of using R for research & publications, consulting, etc.? Alternately, how does one obtain such a warranty? Your answers will be much appreciated. Perhaps you can point me to some websites which discussed this subject in the past. Thanks & regards
