Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1995, vol. 20, issue 1, 27-39

Abstract: A maximum test in which the test statistic is the more extreme of the Brown-Forsythe and O’Brien’s test statistics is developed. Estimated Type I error rates and power are presented for the Brown-Forsythe test, O’Brien’s test, and the maximum test. For the conditions included in the study, Type I error rates for the maximum test are near the nominal level. In all conditions, the power of the maximum test tended to be equal to or greater than that of the test—O’Brien or Brown-Forsythe—that had the larger power.
