Olejnik, Stephen F.; Algina, James – 1985
The present investigation developed power curves for two parametric and two nonparametric procedures for testing the equality of population variances. Both normal and non-normal distributions were considered for the two group design with equal and unequal sample frequencies. The results indicated that when population distributions differed only in…

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…
