N2 - Tests for dispersion effects in replicated two-level factorial experiments assuming a location-dispersion model are presented. The tests use individual measures of dispersion that remove the location effects and also provide an estimate of pure error. Empirical critical values for two such tests are given for two-level full or regular fractional factorial designs with 8, 16, 32, and 64 runs. The powers of the tests are examined under normal, exponential, and Cauchy distributed errors. Our recommended test uses dispersion measures calculated as deviations of the data values from their cell medians, and this test is illustrated via an example.
