New scale test boosts power in detecting differences, revolutionizing data analysis.
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics are commonly used to test how well data fits a certain pattern. A new statistic has been developed to focus on differences in scale rather than just location. This new scale test is more powerful for detecting scale differences compared to the traditional Kolmogorov test. The critical values and distribution of this new statistic have been determined, and it performs as well as another existing scale test.
