Study Notes

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

  • ANOVA is a statistical method used to analyze variance among different groups.
  • It helps determine if there are significant differences between the means of the groups.

F-Distribution

  • F-distribution is a probability distribution used in ANOVA.
  • Used to determine if there are significant differences among the means of the groups.
  • The F-ratio is the ratio of two variances in ANOVA.

F-test

  • An F-test is used to determine if there's a significant difference between two groups' variances.
  • Used to determine if there are significant differences among the means of groups.
  • ANOVA uses F-tests to test the null hypothesis in ANOVA.

ANOVA Tests

  • One-way ANOVA: Compares the means of multiple groups for a single independent variable.
  • Two-way ANOVA: Compares the means of multiple groups based on two independent variables.
  • Can be used with or without replication

F-Test (continued)

  • Hypothesis: Specifies the null and alternative hypotheses, testing if variances are equal or not.
  • Test statistics: Calculation of the F-statistic, which compares the variances.
  • Excel Output: Shows calculated means, variances, degrees of freedom, F-statistic, p-value, and critical value - often used to make a decision on accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis

F-Test (continued)

  • The test concept explains the procedure using the F-ratio as a basis for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis.
  • Revising t-tests considers scenarios where independent data is present, including situations with equal or unequal variances.

Comments on two-group variances

  • Possible cases of two-group variances: Examines possible results for group A and group B cases with variances that can be small or large.
  • Cases 1 & 2 (the equal variance case): Discusses using t-tests based on equal variances or unequal variances
  • Cases 3 & 4 (the unequal variance case):Discusses using t-tests with unequal variances.

Comments (continued)

  • Discusses medication effect datasets.
  • Fairness issue if there are differences of sample results.
  • Recommends using different datasets to ensure meaningful results and equal variance when comparing group means

Comments (continued)

  • Discusses potential cases of group variances and their influence on t-tests, when groups may represent characteristics like man and women
  • Assessing fairness issues to ensure that groups are similar.
  • Discusses how to choose to use a t-test, depending on whether to treat variances as equal or not

One-way ANOVA

  • Example: Discusses comparing three means using methods A, B, and C.
  • Illustrates how to determine the variability and differences between groups.
  • Illustrates how total variability can be disaggregated into variation within and between groups

One-way ANOVA (continued)

  • ANOVA Table: Presents a table to show how the variation is calculated
  • Excel output: Presents results from running an Excel table for one-way ANOVA.
  • Showing the formulas to understand the calculation of the mean square (variance), F statistic and the p-value.

One-way ANOVA (continued)

  • Hypothesis: Specifies the null and alternative hypotheses for a one-way ANOVA
  • Describes how the alternative hypothesis can have various specific cases.

One-way ANOVA: Another example

  • Relationship of the student scores and the course evaluation: Explains how higher scores indicate better evaluations
  • ANOVA Table: Presents a table of results for a one-way ANOVA
  • Examples: Discusses cases where the null and alternative hypotheses may be accepted or rejected to help understand the concept.

One-way ANOVA (continued)

  • Relationship between student scores and evaluation and explaining when the null hypothesis (variances are equal) may be preferred.

Comments

Different graphs are obtained with example datasets illustrating scenarios where

  • H₀: would be accepted and
  • H₁: would be accepted.

Two-way ANOVA without replication

  • Comparing mean travel times from two factors: Explains how to analyze travel times considering two factors.
  • Overviewing what should be considered or looked for from the two-factor analysis.

Two-way ANOVA without replication (continued)

  • ANOVA Table: An example of an ANOVA table
  • Excel output: Presents results from an Excel table showing variance calculations.
  • Explains how different variances may be analyzed, with equal or unequal variances

Two-way ANOVA with replication (continued)

  • Three sets of null & alternative hypotheses: Describes hypotheses where different routes, drivers, or interactions effects of routes and drivers are examined.

Two-way ANOVA with replication

  • ANOVA Table (Excel output): Shows a table of results from a two-way ANOVA, including p-values and F-ratios, facilitating a decision-making process.
  • Mean tables show different means for different conditions.
