Thanks for your response, As it happens I had made no assumptions except that listing all the things I had previously done in my search for the answer to my question would introduce unnecessary clutter to the list. But I should have made it clear that I was hoping to find someone with first-hand knowledge rather than looking for someone to do a basic preliminary search for me. I'm sorry to have wasted so much of your time. Let me rephrase. Does anyone on this list know of an implementation in stata of Fligner-Killeen's nonparametric test for differences in variation? (see refs below) I have Stata 6 and have done the obvious searches to no avail. It occured to me that someone else on this list might have been through the same thing and be able to assist. refs 1. Steven M. Donnelly and Andrew Kramer. 1999. "Testing for multiple species in fossil samples: An evaluation and comparison of tests for equal relative variation." American Journal of Physical Anthropology. 108: 507-529. 2. Fligner and Killeen ([1976] J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 71:210-213 regards, Rupert Ward --- Applied Clinical Anatomy, KCL Maarten buis wrote:

Do not refer to publications with just minimal details (e.g., author and date). Questions of the form "Has anyone implemented the heteroscedasticity under a full moon test of Sue, Grabbit, and Runne (1989)?" admittedly divide the world. Anyone who has not heard of the said test would not be helped by the full reference to answer the question, but they might well appreciate the full reference." Moreover you can answer questions like that yourself by typing in stata: findit Fligner-Killeen findit Fligner Killeen findit Fligner findit Killeen none of these produce the hoped for hit, so the answer would appear to be "no". Hope this helps, Maarten
