Description

This function used to test the Homogeneity of variances.
Levene's test is used to test the Samples have equal variances.
Equal variances across samples is called homogeneity of variance or homoscedasticity.
To do the Levenes test we need the following assumptions:

  1.The Samples from the populations are independent of one another. 
  2. The population under consideration are Normally Distributed.

For three or more variables the following statistical tests for homogeneity of variances are commonly used:

   1.Levene's Test.
   2.Bartlett Test.

Levene's test is an alternative to the Bartlett test.
If the data surely is of normally distributed or nearly to normally distributed then we can use the Bartlett test.
The Levene's test is defined as

.

=Not all of the variances are equal.

Normally there are three versions of the Levenes test.
There are
1.Use of Mean.
2.Use of Median.
3.Use of 10% of Trimmed Mean.
The Levene test statistic is:

Levene's Testing Procedure:
1. checking the assumptions.
2.State the Null(H0) and alternative(H1) hypothesis.
3.Decide on the Significance level (α).
4.Finding the Critical value and Rejection Region.Here Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle df_1=t-1} ,Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle df_2=N-t} .
5.Compute the Levenes statistic using the formula.
6.Then decision of the value of the test statistic,W is falls in the rejection region or if p-value ≤ α, then reject Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle H_0} .Otherwise, fail to reject Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle H_0} . For the computation p-value we have to use the value of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle df_1} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle df_2} .
7. Finally we have to conclude that the rejection of $H_{0}$ or fail to rejection Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle H_0} according to the test statistic at the significance level.
