High-occupancy vehicle lane
A
high-occupancy vehicle lane (also known as an
HOV lane,
carpool lane,
diamond lane, and
transit lane or
T2 or T3 lanes in Australia and New Zealand) is a restricted
traffic lane reserved at
peak travel times or longer for the exclusive use of vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers, including
carpools,
vanpools, and
transit buses. The normal minimum occupancy level is 2 or 3 occupants. Many jurisdictions exempt other vehicles, including motorcycles, charter buses, emergency and law enforcement vehicles, low-emission and other
green vehicles, and/or
single-occupancy vehicles paying a toll. HOV lanes are normally created to increase average vehicle occupancy and persons traveling with the goal of reducing
traffic congestion and
air pollution, although their effectiveness is questionable.
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)

Levene and Brown-Forsythe tests for homogeneity of variances (HOV)
A important assumption in analysis of variance (
ANOVA and the
t-test for mean differences) is that the variances in the different groups are equal (homogeneous). Two powerful and commonly used tests of this assumption are the Levene test and the Brown-Forsythe modification of this test. However, it is important to realize that (1) the homogeneity of variances assumption is usually not as crucial as other assumptions for ANOVA, in particular in the case of balanced (equal n) designs (see also
ANOVA Homogeneity of Variances and Covariances ), and (2) that the tests described below are not necessarily very robust themselves (e.g., Glass and Hopkins, 1996, p. 436, call these tests "fatally flawed;" see also the description of these tests below). If you are concerned about a violation of the HOV assumption, it is always advisable to repeat the key analyses using
nonparametric methods.
