mslr_test function

Modified signed-likelihood ratio test (SLRT) for equality of CVs, using measurement data

mslr_test(nr = 1000, x, y, seed)

Arguments

• nr: numeric vector length one, number of simulation runs, default is 1e3
• x: a numeric vector containing individual measurement values
• y: a vector of any type containing a grouping variable
• seed: optional, an integer that is the starting point used in the generation of a sequence of random numbers. Include a seed if you want reproducible output.

Returns

a list with the test statistic and p-value

Examples

x <- rnorm(100)
 y <- unlist(lapply(letters[1:5], function(i) rep(i, 20)))

 mslr_test(nr = 1e3, x, y)
