Fligner-Killeen test on binary data
Hi emeline, I think there may be a minor language problem. If you mean the "variation" rather than the "variance" in survival, you may simply want a test of proportions. Jim

Hello, I investigate survival until the following year (0,1) and I wish to test if the variance in survival for two or more groups are significantly different from each other. I read that the Fligner-Killeen test is a non-parametric test which is very robust against departures from normality but is it correct (valuable technique for publication) to use it on binary data? In other words, can I use fligner.test(survival~categorical_predictor,data=mydata) when survival is binary (0,1)?
