bartlett.test {ctest} | R Documentation |
bartlett.test
performs Bartlett's test of the null that the
variances in each of the groups (samples) are the same.
bartlett.test(x, g)
x |
a numeric vector of data values, or a list of numeric data vectors. |
g |
a vector or factor object giving the group for the
corresponding elements of x .
Ignored if x is a list. |
If x
is a list, its elements are taken as the samples to be
compared for homogeneity of variances, and hence have to be numeric
data vectors. In this case, g
is ignored, and one can simply
use bartlett.test(x)
to perform the test. If the samples are
not yet contained in a list, use bartlett.test(list(x, ...))
.
Otherwise, x
must be a numeric data vector, and g
must
be a vector or factor object of the same length as x
giving
the group for the corresponding elements of x
.
