Fisher F Test with significantly low values in small samples

Journal Title: Revista Romana de Statistica - Year 2011, Vol 59, Issue 4

Abstract

Testing for differences between groups is usually done with the Fisher-F test. In practice, it has been known to return unusually small, but significant values. This situation is seldom covered by theory, usually being considered a fault of the model or of the analysis. This paper looks at a real-life situation where significantly low F-values were encountered, and presents the way these values were treated.
