Welch-James Statistic for Robust Hypothesis Testing under
Heterocedasticity and Non-Normality
Description
Implementation of Johansen's general formulation of Welch-James's statistic with Approximate Degrees of Freedom, which makes it suitable for testing
any linear hypothesis concerning cell means in univariate and multivariate mixed model designs when the data pose non-normality and non-homogeneous variance. Some
improvements, namely trimmed means and Winsorized variances, and bootstrapping for calculating an empirical critical value, have been added to the classical formulation.
The code departs from a previous SAS implementation by L.M. Lix and H.J. Keselman, available at and
published in Keselman, H.J., Wilcox, R.R., and Lix, L.M. (2003) .
