The definitional equation of sample variance is = (¯), where the divisor is called the degrees of freedom (DF), the summation is called the sum of squares (SS), the result is called the mean square (MS) and the squared terms are deviations from the sample mean. ANOVA estimates 3 sample variances: a total variance based on all the observation ...
The ANOVA produces an F-statistic, the ratio of the variance calculated among the means to the variance within the samples. If the group means are drawn from populations with the same mean values, the variance between the group means should be lower than the variance of the samples, following the central limit theorem. A higher ratio therefore ...
The formula for the one-way ANOVA F-test statistic is =, or =. The "explained variance", or "between-group variability" is = (¯ ¯) / where ¯ denotes the sample mean in the i-th group, is the number of observations in the i-th group, ¯ denotes the overall mean of the data, and denotes the number of groups.
Following Gelman and Hill, the assumptions of the ANOVA, and more generally the general linear model, are, in decreasing order of importance: [5] the data points are relevant with respect to the scientific question under investigation; the mean of the response variable is influenced additively (if not interaction term) and linearly by the factors;
Andy Field (2009) [1] provided an example of a mixed-design ANOVA in which he wants to investigate whether personality or attractiveness is the most important quality for individuals seeking a partner. In his example, there is a speed dating event set up in which there are two sets of what he terms "stooge dates": a set of males and a set of ...
The parametric equivalent of the Kruskal–Wallis test is the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). A significant Kruskal–Wallis test indicates that at least one sample stochastically dominates one other sample. The test does not identify where this stochastic dominance occurs or for how many pairs of groups stochastic dominance obtains.
[1] [2] They are usually used to uncover specific differences between three or more group means when an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test is significant. [3] This typically creates a multiple testing problem because each potential analysis is effectively a statistical test. Multiple testing procedures are sometimes used to compensate, but that ...
This figure is an example of a repeated measures design that could be analyzed using a rANOVA (repeated measures ANOVA). The independent variable is the time (Levels: Time 1, Time 2, Time 3, Time 4) that someone took the measure, and the dependent variable is the happiness measure score.
