Study Notes
ANOVA Approach
- ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) tests for differences in means across three or more groups.
- It compares the variance within each group to the variance between groups.
- Larger between-group variance relative to within-group variance suggests significant differences in group means.
Purpose of ANOVA
- Determine if there are statistically significant differences between the means of two or more groups.
- Test hypotheses about population means.
Applications of ANOVA
- Comparing means of different treatment groups in an experiment.
- Analyzing differences in performance across various categories (e.g., age, gender).
- Assessing the impact of an independent variable on a dependent variable.
When to Use ANOVA
- A researcher might use ANOVA when comparing the means of several groups to avoid performing multiple t-tests, which increases the chance of Type I error.
- If the data meet the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance.
One-Way ANOVA
- A one-way ANOVA uses only one independent variable.
- This independent variable has three or more levels (groups or categories).
