We show that the F-test can be both liberal and conservative in the context of a particular type of nonspherical behaviour induced by spatial autocorrelation, and that the conservative variant is more likely to occur for extreme values of the spatial autocorrelation parameter. In particular, it will wipe out the progressive one as the sample size increases.

After rejecting the null hypothesis in analysis of variance, next step is to make pairwise comparisons find out differences means. The purpose this paper threefold. foremost aim suggest expression for calculating decision limit that enables us collect test and one step. This proposed as ratio between square each treatment within sum squares all treatments. second obtain sampling distribution un...

I compared the randomization/permutation test and the F test for a two-cell comparative experiment. I varied (1) the number of observations per cell, (2) the size of the treatment effect, (3) the shape of the underlying distribution of error and, (4) for cases with skewed error, whether or not the skew was correlated with the treatment. With normal error, there was little difference between the...

Three tests are proposed based on F-distribution, Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and large sample Z-test for intraclass correlation coefficient under unequal family sizes based on a single multinormal sample. It has been found that the test based on F-distribution consistently and reliably produces results superior to those of Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and large sample Z-test in terms of size fo...
