Olejnik, Stephen F.; Algina, James – 1985
This paper examined the rank transformation approach to analysis of variance as a solution to the Behrens-Fisher problem. Using simulation methodology four parameters were manipulated for the two group design: (1) ratio of population variances; (2) distribution form; (3) sample size and (4) population mean difference. The results indicated that…

Olejnik, Stephen F.; Algina, James – 1986
Sampling distributions for ten tests for comparing population variances in a two group design were generated for several combinations of equal and unequal sample sizes, population means, and group variances when distributional forms differed. The ten procedures included: (1) O'Brien's (OB); (2) O'Brien's with adjusted degrees of freedom; (3)…
