Tiivistelmä	The Levene and Brown-Forsythe test checks whether two or more groups share the same variance (homogeneity of variance). Levene (1960) built the test on absolute deviations from each group mean, and Brown and Forsythe (1974) made it robust to non-normal data by centring on the group median instead.	Bartlett's Test is a classical parametric procedure for testing whether two or more independent groups share a common population variance. Introduced by Maurice Stevenson Bartlett in 1937, it formalises the null hypothesis that all group variances are equal by constructing a chi-square statistic from the ratio of pooled to individual group variances. It is a standard pre-analysis step before applying ANOVA or other procedures whose validity depends on the homoscedasticity assumption.
