Reference control points (RCPs) used in establishing the regression model in the registration or geometric correction of remote sensing images are generally assumed to be ?perfect?. That is, the RCPs, as explanatory variables in the regression equation, are accurate and the coordinates of their...

For the problem of homogeneity of variances, a new generalized test variable is given and the generalized p-value based on the test variable is derived. The proposed generalized p-value is proved to have exact frequency property, and it is also invariant under the group of scale transformation.
