Thank you. It seems that nobody has implemented it in R yet. I'll have a look, thank you very much

Today I have the same question and it would be great if I could find out that this test has been implemented (somehow) in R. Please do not confuse it with the Brown-Forsythe test of equality of variances. Thank you: I've been searching around for a function for computing the Brown-Forsythe F* statistic which is a substitute for the normal ANOVA F statistic for when there are unequal variances, and when there is evidence of non-normality. A couple of other people have asked this question, the responses I found have been: ?oneway.test However, that function appears to use the Welch W statistic which, while good at handling unequal variances, is not as good as F* at handling non-normal distributions (or so my textbook tells me). So, two questions: 1. Is there a function ready to use for calculating the Brown-Forsythe F*? 2. If not, what do people use for checking the results of a (one-way) ANOVA when there is non-normality as well as non-constant variances?
