Description

siegel.tukey.test performs Siegel Tukey variance homogeneity test.

Usage

Arguments

formula

a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs gives the sample values and rhs the corresponding groups.

data

verbose

a logical for printing output to R console.

Value

A list containing the following components:

statistic

the corresponding test statistic.

parameter
