• The F distribution is the ratio of two independent χ random variables. • The test statistic F* follows the distribution – F* ~ F(1,n-2)
ANOVA tests the effect of a categorical predictor variable (a so-called “fixed effect”, independent variable or factor) on a continuous dependent variable (what was measured in your study).
Objectives. After studying this chapter you should. appreciate the need for analysing data from more than two samples; understand the underlying models to analysis of variance; understand when, and be able, to carry out a one way analysis of variance; understand when, and be able, to carry out a two way analysis of variance. 7.0 Introduction.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical procedure for summarizing a classical linear model—a decomposition of sum of squares into a component for each source of variation in the model—along with an associated test (the F-test) of the hypothesis that any given source of variation in the model is zero.
The Analysis of Variance. Introduction. Researchers often perform experiments to compare two treatments, for example, two different fertilizers, machines, methods or materials. The objectives are to determine whether there is any real difference between these treatments, to estimate the difference, and to measure the precision of the estimate.
ANOVA - F test. In the one-way ANOVA problem if we let. Pn. = i=1 ni i ; it can be shown (see proof below) that: E(BSS) = (k. n. 2 X 1) + ni( )2: i i=1. 2 b. E(WSS) = (N k) Proof: a. k ! E(BSS) = E. X ni(yi y)2 = E. k. niy2. k ! X 2y niyi + y2 ni : i=1 i=1 i=1. In the previous expression we can substitute. X X ni = N; and niyi = Ny. i=1.
The textbook (x2.7{2.8) goes into great detail about an F test for whether the simple linear regression model \explains" (really, predicts) a \signi cant" amount of the variance in the response. What this really does is compare two versions of the simple linear regression model.
