Homogeneity of Variance Plot

Description

Oneway analysis of variance makes the assumption that the variances of the groups are equal. Brown and Forsyth, 1974 present the recommended test of this assumption. The Brown and Forsyth test statistic is the F statistic resulting from an ordinary one-way analysis of variance on the absolute deviations from the median. The hovPlot function graphs the components of the Brown and Forsyth test statistic.

Usage

hovPlot(x, data=NULL, method = "bf",  ## x is a formula
        transpose = TRUE, ...)

## users will normally use the formula above and will not call the
## method directly.
hovPlot.bf(x, group,  ## x is the response variable
           y.name = deparse(substitute(x)),
           group.name = deparse(substitute(group)),
           transpose = TRUE, ...)

## users will normally use the formula above and will not call the
## panel function directly.
panel.hov(..., transpose = TRUE)

Arguments

`x`	Formula appropriate for oneway anova in `hovPlot`. Response variable in `hovPlot.bf`.
`data`	data.frame
`method`	Character string defining method. At this time the only recognized method is "bf" for the Brown-Forsyth method.
`transpose`	Always `TRUE` in R. Normally `TRUE` in S-Plus to force vertical boxplots.
`group`	factor.
`y.name`	name of response variable, defaults to variable name in formula.
`group.name`	name of factor, defaults to variable name in formula.
`...`	additional arguments.

Value

"trellis" object with three panels containing boxplots for each group: The observed data "y", the data with the median subtracted "y-med(y)", and the absolute deviations from the median "abs(y-med(y))" The Brown and Forsyth test statistic is the F statistic resulting from an ordinary one-way analysis of variance on the data points in the third panel.
