smile.stat.hypothesis.FTest

public class FTest
extends java.lang.Object

F test of the hypothesis that two independent samples come from normal distributions with the same variance, against the alternative that they come from normal distributions with different variances. Note that the F-test is extremely non-robust to non-normality. That is, even if the data displays only modest departures from the normal distribution, the test is unreliable and should not be used.

Method Detail

test

public static FTest test(double[] x,
