In many practical problems the most efficient estimate of variance available is a linear function of 2 or more independent mean-squares, the exact distribution of which is usually too complicated for practical use. A satisfactory approximation can be based on the chi-square distribution with the number of degrees of freedom determined by methods given in the paper. Many problems, such as the difference of means, can be more conservatively analyzed by use of these complex estimates of variance. Assumptions regarding homogeneity of variance can then be avoided.
