Modified Brown–Forsythe Procedure for Testing Interaction Effects in Split-Plot Designs

The standard univariate and multivariate methods are conventionally used to analyze continuous data from groups by trials repeated measures designs, in spite of being extremely sensitive to departures from the multisample sphericity assumption when group sizes are unequal. However, in the last 10 years several authors have offered alternative solutions to these tests that do not rest on this assumption. In an attempt to improve the precision of the Brown-Forsythe (BF) procedure, a new approximate degrees of freedom (df) approach is presented in this article. Unlike the BF test, the new method not only assures that the df will be always positive but also provides invariant solutions under linear transformations of the data. Monte Carlo methods are used to compare the new solution, in terms of control of Type I error rates, with the modified empirical generalized least squares and BF methods. Our extensive numerical studies show that the modified BF procedure outperformed the other two methods for a wide range of conditions
