A new alternative procedure is proposed for testing the hypothesis that the variances
\nof k independent groups are equal under non-normality. Extensive simulations
\nindicated that the new procedure always gave the experimenter more
\ncontrol over the probability of a Type I error than do the Bartlett
\nand Levene\u2019s tests. The same statement was true for unequal sample sizes. Overall, the
\nnew procedure was more powerful than the other procedures tested, especially
\nwhen the variance ratios were high.<\/p>\n
