What do these numbers mean?
  • A small p-value indicates unequal dispersion.
  • Review group sizes and distributions.

Bartlett is sensitive to non-normality; Levene and Brown–Forsythe are generally more robust.

How do I use this page?
  1. Paste groups.
  2. Read the statistic and p-value.

What this page does not do: Bartlett is sensitive to non-normality; Levene and Brown–Forsythe are generally more robust.

Theory — when should the Bartlett test be used?

The calculator takes several independent groups defined in the same way, with optional fields that may be left empty. The Bartlett test compares the logarithms of each group's variance and works well when the data within groups are approximately normal. If that normality is doubtful, the Brown–Forsythe test is a more practical, robust choice. The choice between the two therefore depends on how far the data deviate from a normal distribution.

Frequently asked questions

Which test should I use?
Brown–Forsythe is a practical robust default; Bartlett is appropriate for approximately normal data.
