Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) 2014/04/28
Purpose of ANOVA • The purpose of ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is to test the equality of three or more population means. • The general form of the hypothesis test: • Example. P492. Chemitech, Inc. H0: 1=2=3=. . . = k Ha: Not all population means are equal
Assumptions of ANOVA • For each population, the dependent variable is normally distributed. • The variance of the dependent variable is the same for all of the populations. • The observations must be independent. • Note • Response variable is referred as dependent variable. • Factor or treatment is referred as independent variable.
Concepts of ANOVA • If null hypothesis is true, all treatment populations have the dame distribution. =>(1)Between treatment estimate of population variance • Each of the sample variances provides an unbiased estimate of population variance. =>(2)Within treatment estimate of population variance • If H0 is true, (1) is close to (2), • F=(1)/(2), with k-1, n-k degree of freedom • If F is too large, then reject H0
Equations of ANOVA • Mean square due to treatments (MSTR): • Mean square due to error (MSE):

Multiple Comparison Procedure • Suppose that ANOVA provides statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis of equal population means, In this case, Fisher’s LSD procedure can be used to determine where the differences occur. • Fisher’s LSD procedure is based on the t test statistic presented for the two population case.
Fisher’s LSD Procedure • Hypotheses • Test Statistic
Randomized Block Design • An experimental design, known as a randomized block design, is to control some of the extraneous sources of variation. • Ex. P 515 Table 13.5 • The randomized block design calls for a single sample of controllers. Each controller is tested with each of the alternatives.
Randomized Block Design • To compute the F statistic for a difference among treatment means with a randomized block design: SST = SSTR + SSBL + SSE

Factorial experiment • A factorial experiment is an experimental design that allows simultaneous conclusions about two or more factors. • Ex. P521 Table 13.9 • Interaction effects are also studied in factorial experiments.
