Study Notes
ANOVA Overview
- ANOVA is a parametric test used to compare three or more groups.
- The choice of test depends on the number of groups, sample type (independent or dependent), and level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval/ratio).
When to Use ANOVA
- Use ANOVA when comparing more than two samples.
- Samples must be independent and have ratio/interval data.
- Data must be normally distributed.
- ANOVA is used when the differences between groups are not obvious.
Types of ANOVA
- One-way ANOVA or repeated measures ANOVA for one factor.
- N-way ANOVA, factorial repeated measures ANOVA, and linear mixed models for more than one factor.
ANOVA vs T-Test
- T-test is used to compare means between two samples.
- ANOVA is used to compare means between three or more samples.
- Using multiple T-tests increases the probability of Type I error, which can be reduced by using ANOVA.
Basic Principle Behind ANOVA
- ANOVA examines total variation, which includes variation between treatment and variation within treatment.
- Residuals are the differences between entered values and the mean of all values for that group.
- Positive residuals indicate values above the sample mean, while negative residuals indicate values below the sample mean.
Basic Assumptions of ANOVA
- Homogeneity of variance: variance is the same within each group.
- Normality: residuals must be normally distributed.
- Independent observations: data must be collected from independent samples.
- Dependent variable must be interval or ratio data.
ANOVA: Null and Alternative Hypotheses
- Null hypothesis: all treatment means are equal.
- Alternative hypothesis: at least one treatment mean is different.
ANOVA Steps
- Step 1: Determine if there is a significant difference among means of the samples.
- The F-value and p-value are used to determine significance.
- A larger F-value and lower p-value indicate a significant difference.
Residuals
- Residuals must be normally distributed.
- Normality can be checked using normal Q-Q plots, Shapiro-Wilk, and Kolmogorov-Smironov tests.
