Study Notes
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
- ANOVA is a statistical method used to compare means of multiple groups.
- ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that all group means are equal.
- This method helps determine if the observed differences between groups are statistically significant.
F-Distribution
- The F-distribution is a probability distribution used in ANOVA.
- It's a ratio of two variances.
- The shape of the F-distribution depends on two degrees of freedom (numerator and denominator).
- The F-distribution is always positive and skewed to the right, and it approaches 0 as the value gets smaller.
- The F-statistic is calculated by dividing the variance between groups by the variance within groups
F-Test
- The F-test is used to determine if there are significant differences between means of different groups.
- It compares the variance between groups with the variance within groups
- The calculated F-statistic is compared against a critical value in the F-distribution table to determine if the differences are statistically significant at a given level.
- Independent two-group variance difference test is used to determine if two independent groups have significantly different variances.
ANOVA Tests
-
One-way ANOVA: Compares the means of a single factor across multiple groups (e.g., comparing the effectiveness of different drugs on blood pressure).
-
Two-way ANOVA: Compares the means of two factors simultaneously across multiple groups (e.g., comparing the effectiveness of different drugs and different dosages on blood pressure).
-
Replication can be used in two-way ANOVA
One-Way ANOVA Example
- Comparing three methods
- Null hypothesis: All mean values are the same
- Alternative hypothesis: At least one mean is different
- This example used data to compare performances across multiple methods
- Data is divided into the total of squares across all columns.
- Significant difference between data is detected if the variance within different columns is larger compared to the variation across columns.
Two-Way ANOVA Example without Replication
- Comparing mean travel times using two factors (drivers and routes).
- Calculate variations due to route.
- Calculate variations based on the different drivers.
- Measure the interaction of these two factors.
- Determine if there is a significant difference via statistical tests (F-test).
Two-Way ANOVA with Replication
- This analysis method is used with repeated measurements or observations.
- The data includes measures or observations (e.g., mean travel time) across multiple routes for each driver.
- It aims to determine the effects of different factors (e.g., route and drivers), and their interaction on a specific variable.
Comments on Two Group Variances
-
Cases 1 and 2 (equal variance): Perform t-test assuming equal variance.
-
Cases 3 and 4 (unequal variance): Perform t-test assuming unequal variance or do not perform t-test assuming unequal variance
-
Analyze why variances are big or small
Hypothesis Tests in ANOVA
-
Null Hypothesis: The means are equal
-
Alternative Hypothesis: At least one mean is different
-
Depending on the results, you will use a particular type of t-test to evaluate the groups means
