Dear R-User, I met the problem to test equality of variance.
Two sample units: conjps<-c(9.41,10.45,10.78,10.73,11.11,11.12,11.59,11.04,11.63) ms<-c(4.11,5.10,5.70,6.46,6.04,6.16, 6.24,6.32,7.33) Then I use the F test to test: •Test Equality of Two Variances F test to compare two variances data: conjps and ms F = 0.5419, num df = 8, denom df = 8, p-value = 0.4045 alternative hypothesis: true ratio of variances is not equal to 1 95 percent confidence interval: 0.1222368 2.4024170 sample estimates: ratio of variances 0.5419076 but If conjps is replaced by conjps1: shifting the first value and the last value position conjps1<-c(11.36,10.45,10.78,10.73,11.11,11.12,11.59,11.04,9.41) I do believe we get the same result when testing the equity of variance. but how do I distringuish this two cases by testing? Kind regards,Tammy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
