A robust test based on bootstrapping for the two-sample scale problem

For testing the homogeneity of variances, modifications of well-known tests are known which combine rigorous theory with resampling (bootstrap). We propose versions of these tests, which are computationally simpler (although asymptotically equivalent). The earlier procedures used the smooth bootstra...
