Hypothesis test
Siegel-Tukey Test for Scale Differences
The Siegel-Tukey test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that detects differences in variability (spread) between two independent groups whose central tendencies are equal or have been equalised. Introduced by Sidney Siegel and John W. Tukey in 1960, it is the nonparametric counterpart of Levene's test and requires no assumption of normality.
