Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate the I-type error rate and the power of Levene´s multivariate test using different location parameters to compare k covariance matrices. Monte Carlo´s simulation and bootstrap were used for this purpose. Configurations were considered with different degrees of correlations, heterogeneity of covariance matrices, sample sizes and number of variants. Results showed that Levene´s multivariate test centered on the mean is more powerfull in small sample size and with low degree of heterogeneity among covariance matrices; the bootstrap approach controlled the I-type error when median was used as scale parameter.
