N2 - Variances homogeneity test are mostly applied as a preliminary test to other analyses like test of equality of means. So far, several tests have been offered in randomized complete block design, that the most prevalent of them are Bartlett and Levene tests, and others are generalized kind of these two tests. The distribution of statistics for these tests are obtained asymptotically. Recently, a test has been introduced base on estimated critical values. In this paper, nine tests are examined based on estimated critical values method and their performance are evaluated with various blocks and treatment groups for normal and t-student distributions by a simulation study. The method of estimated critical values has a good performance in the type I error and a power improvement with respect to using asymptotic distribution. M3 10.29252/jss.12.2.323 ER -
