fk.test: Fligner-Killeen Test

Description

fk.test performs Fligner-Killeen variance homogeneity test.

Usage

fk.test(formula, data, alpha = 0.05, na.rm = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Value

A list with class "vht" containing the following components:

statistic

the corresponding test statistic.

parameter

the parameter(s) of the approximate chi-squared distribution of the test statistic.

p.value

the p-value of the test.

method

the character string "Fligner-Killeen Test".

data

a data frame containing the variables in which NA values (if exist) are removed.

formula

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

Arguments

formula

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

data

a tibble or data frame containing the variables in formula.

alpha

the level of significance to assess variance homogeneity. Default is set to alpha = 0.05.

na.rm

a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

verbose

a logical for printing output to R console.
