Lilliefors test is a normality test based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.It is used to test the null hypothesis that data come from a normally distributed population, when the null hypothesis does not specify which normal distribution; i.e., it does not specify the expected value and variance of the distribution. [1]
The F table serves as a reference guide containing critical F values for the distribution of the F-statistic under the assumption of a true null hypothesis. It is designed to help determine the threshold beyond which the F statistic is expected to exceed a controlled percentage of the time (e.g., 5%) when the null hypothesis is accurate.
Hartley's test is related to Cochran's C test [6] [7] in which the test statistic is the ratio of max(s j 2) to the sum of all the group variances.Other tests related to these, have test statistics in which the within-group variances are replaced by the within-group range.
In statistics, the Jonckheere trend test [1] (sometimes called the Jonckheere–Terpstra [2] test) is a test for an ordered alternative hypothesis within an independent samples (between-participants) design.
The F-test in ANOVA is an example of an omnibus test, which tests the overall significance of the model. A significant F test means that among the tested means, at least two of the means are significantly different, but this result doesn't specify exactly which means are different one from the other.
In statistics, an F-test of equality of variances is a test for the null hypothesis that two normal populations have the same variance.Notionally, any F-test can be regarded as a comparison of two variances, but the specific case being discussed in this article is that of two populations, where the test statistic used is the ratio of two sample variances. [1]
If F(r) is the Fisher transformation of r, the sample Spearman rank correlation coefficient, and n is the sample size, then z = n − 3 1.06 F ( r ) {\displaystyle z={\sqrt {\frac {n-3}{1.06}}}F(r)} is a z -score for r , which approximately follows a standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis of statistical independence ( ρ = 0 ).
The new multiple range test proposed by Duncan makes use of special protection levels based upon degrees of freedom.Let , = be the protection level for testing the significance of a difference between two means; that is, the probability that a significant difference between two means will not be found if the population means are equal.
