摘要：

Currently, the most commonly used test of a single variance is the chi-square test when the population is normal. In this article, a new test procedure is proposed for the upper-tailed test for the variance of any symmetric heavy-tailed populations. Edgeworth expansion is used to derive the new test statistic. A Monte Carlo study investigates the properties of the new procedure for a variety of symmetric heavy-tailed distributions. It is shown that the new test yields controlled type I error rates as well as good power performances when the sample size is moderate or large.
