Find a test for $H_{0} : sigma_{1}^{2} ne sigma_{2}^{2}$, against $H_{1} : sigma_{1}^{2} =sigma_{2}^{2}$

$begingroup$


Consider $X_{1}dots X_{n} $ ~ $N(a_{1},sigma_{1}^{2})$ and $Y_{1}dots Y_{m} $ ~ $N(a_{2},sigma_{2}^{2})$, and they are independent. We need to find a criteria for $H_{0}:: sigma_{1}^{2} ne sigma_{2}^{2}$.



First of all, let's consider (if $H_{0}$ is true) $frac{bar{X}sqrt{n}}{a_{1}} - frac{bar{Y}sqrt{m}}{a_{2}}$ distributed as $N(0,sigma^{2}frac{a_{2}^2 +a_{1}^2}{a_{1}^2a_{2}^2})$, then after considering of $dfrac{frac{bar{X}sqrt{n}}{a_{1}} - frac{bar{Y}sqrt{m}}{a_{2}}}{sigmasqrt{frac{a_1^2 +a_2^2}{a_1^2 a_2^2}}}$. Now we need to estimate $sigma$ as $S^{2}$, after simplifying we have :
$dfrac{bar{X}sqrt{n}a_{2} - bar{Y}sqrt{m}a_{1}}{sqrt{a_2^2+a_1^2}S} >t_{1-alpha /2}$ is a Student-test.



Am I right?

I think you're testing the hypothesis $H_0 : mu_1 = mu_2$. At least you test statistic seems to suggest so. Mind you, I am only a beginner in this field, so you might be right and I might be wrong. Also, I know only about the equality case (usually the $H_0$ is based on equality, right-tailed, left-tailed or two-tailed). Anyways, here goes



For testing $H_{0} : sigma_{1}^{2}= sigma_{2}^{2}$, the appropriate test statistic is



$$F_0 = frac{S_1^2}{S_2^2}$$



where the reference distribution of $F_0$ is the $F$ distribution with $n-1$ degrees of freedom for numerator and $m-1$ degrees of freedom for denominator. The null hypothesis would be rejected if $F_0 gt F_{alpha/2, n-1,m-1}$ or if $F_0 lt F_{1-(alpha/2), n-1,m-1}$



You can read more about it in the book Design of Experiments by Montgomery, Chapter 2, the ending section.
