    13 Analysis of Variance

    Uploaded by

    Hamzeh Alsalhi
    The document discusses analysis of variance (ANOVA) which is a statistical method used to test differences between group means. It can be used to determine if there are statistically significant differences between three or more independent groups. The ANOVA test assumes the samples are normally distributed, have equal variances, and involves testing differences between three or more population means. If ANOVA yields a significant result, post-hoc tests can then determine which specific group means differ from each other. An example application involves testing differences in blood pressure reduction between medication, exercise, and diet treatment groups.

    Analysis of Variance

    ANOVA
    F-Test
    Analysis of Variance
    • Data sets are often succinctly described by
    giving their Mean (for a description of the
    center) and Standard Deviation (to describe
    the variation)
    • Variance is the square of the Standard
    Deviation
    • The F-test is used to determine if there is a
    Statistically Significant difference among three
    or more Means
    Analysis of Variance
    • ANOVA test is used to test the difference of
    means among three or more independent
    normally distributed samples

    • Example
    – There are three types of training given to our
    workers. Do they result in different effects on
    worker performance?
    Analysis of Variance
    Criteria for using the ANOVA test

    • Normally distributed quantitative samples


    • The groups have assumed equal variances
    • Testing the difference among three or more
    means
    = F score
    Analysis of Variance

    Null Hypothesis: There is No difference among


    different means

    Alternative Hypothesis: At least one mean


    differs from the rest of other means
    Analysis of Variance
    There are 3 types of ANOVA

    • 1-Way Single Factor


    • 2-Way without Replication
    • 2-Way with Replication
    Analysis of Variance
    A researcher wishes to try three different
    techniques to lower blood pressure of
    individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure.
    The subjects are randomly assigned to three
    groups; the first group takes medication, the
    second group exercises, and the third group
    follows a special diet.
    After four weeks, the reduction in each person’s
    blood pressure is recorded.

    Analysis of Variance
    Post-hoc Test
    Post hoc tests are designed for situations in which the
    researcher has already obtained a significant F-test
    with a factor that consists of three or more means and
    additional exploration of the differences among means
    is needed to provide specific information on which
    means are significantly different from each other

    You are planning an experiment that will
    involve 4 equally sized groups, including 3
    experimental groups and a control. Each
    group will contain (n) observations.

    Your expectation is that each of the 3


    experimental treatments will have
    approximately the same effect, and that this
    effect will be small over the control
