Study Notes
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
- ANOVA helps compare samples from multiple populations.
- The comparison is often driven by the results of experiments, like testing a method across various locations.
- The key factor is the difference between experiments.
- Specific factor values are called levels.
- Levels divide data into groups.
- ANOVA aims to conclude about differences among means in each group.
Completely Randomized Design
- Analyzes only one factor.
- A two-step process:
- Step 1: Checks if there's a significant difference between group means (null hypothesis: no difference).
- Step 2: Determines which groups have significantly differing means.
- ANOVA separates total variation into: within-group variation (SSW), among-group variation (SSA), and total variation (SST).
- SST = SSA + SSW.
Completely Randomized Design - One Way ANOVA
- Grand mean: the average of all group means.
- SST, SSA, and SSW formulas are found on pages 519 and 520.
- SSA has c-1 degrees of freedom (c = number of groups).
- SSW has n-c degrees of freedom (n = total items in all groups).
Mean Square Within (MSW) and Mean Square Among (MSA)
- MSW = SSW / (n - c)
- MSA = SSA / (c - 1)
F test for Differences Among More Than Two Means
- The F test helps determine if there are significant differences between group means.
- The F test is the ratio of MSA divided by MSW.
- Null hypothesis: no significant difference among means.
- Reject the null hypothesis if the F test result is above the upper-tail critical value.
- Critical value is found in table A.6 (page 877)
- c - 1 degrees of freedom in the numerator.
- n - c degrees of freedom in the denominator.
- Formula on page 521.
ANOVA Summary Table
- Summarizes one-way ANOVA results.
- Example on page 522.
Assumptions for F test
- Randomness and Independence
- Random samples were chosen from each group.
- Normality
- Normality of the groups is assumed.
- Homogeneity of Variance
- Population variances of the groups are equal.
