=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Statistics::Distributions::Bartlett;
                           
    # Create data to pass as ARRAY/ARRAY references
    my @a = [qw/4534543  543 453 5 543 534 5 4 543 543 6 534 54 3 534  534 54 5/];
    my @b = [qw/ 546 565 65 64  5 434 65 457 67 78 6  34 2 6 57 43  2 556 7 4563/];
    my @c = [qw/ 565 44 535 6678 787 5 5/];
                             
    # Call exported sub routine on ARRAY references of data to print result to STDOUT.
    &bartlett(\@a,\@b,\@c);

    # Call in LIST-context to access results directly:
    my ($K, $p_val, $df, $k, $n_total ) = &bartlett(\@a,\@b,\@c);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Bartlett test is used to test if k samples have equal variances. Such homogeneity is often assumed by other statistical
tests and consequently the Bartlett test should be used to verify that assumption. See http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda357.htm.
