Bootstrap Methods for Testing Homogeneity of Variances
This paper describes the use of bootstrap and permutation methods for lhe problem of testing homogeneity of variances when means are not assumed equal or known. The melhods are new in this context, and nontrivial, since lhe composite null hypothesis involves nuisance mean parameters. They allow the use of normal-:'theory test statistics such as F = sUs~ without the normality assumption which is...
متن کاملBootstrap Procedures for Testing Homogeneity Hypotheses
Before pooling data on effect sizes (a generic term for parameters of interest in the context of meta-analysis) from different studies, it is important to test for homogeneity of the effect sizes. A well known test for homogeneity is based on Cochran’s chisquare statistic. Our recent investigation showed that when the effect size of interest is a pairwise correlation, Cochran’s homogeneity test...
متن کاملA bootstrap test for equality of variances
We introduce a bootstrap procedure to test the hypothesis Ho that K + 1 variances are homogeneous. The procedure uses a variance-based statistic, and is derived from a normal-theory test for equality of variances. The test equivalently expressed the hypothesis as Ho : η = (η1, . . . , ηK+1) = 0, where ηi’s are log contrasts of the population variances. A box-type acceptance region is constructe...
متن کاملTesting for Wavelet Variances
Wavelet methods such as standard thresholding techniques are commonly used to estimate a nonparametric regression function from noisy sample data, under the traditional assumption that noises have constant variance. In situations where data have nonconstant variance, these standard techniques do not work well in estimating the regression function unless the heteroscedasticity is taken into acco...
متن کاملComparing the Statistical Tests for Homogeneity of Variances
Comparing the Statistical Tests for Homogeneity of Variances by Zhiqiang Mu Testing the homogeneity of variances is an important problem in many applications since statistical methods of frequent use, such as ANOVA, assume equal variances for two or more groups of data. However, testing the equality of variances is a difficult problem due to the fact that many of the tests are not robust agains...
