Abstract:
|
After reviewing the statistical test proposed by Professor Levene in 1960, several major subsequent modifications and applications will be described. Because the original paper has been cited in more than 500 scientific articles, this survey cannot be comprehensive, but will describe several important developments and uses of robust methods concerning the testing and estimation of variances that followed Levene's original, insightful contribution.
