One Way ANOVA vs. Kruskall-Wallis • Null Hypotheses: No treatment effects, all Tau’s are Equal • General Alternative: Not all Tau’s are equal • T1=South • T2=NE • T3=W • T4=MW
Conclusions: • Kruskall-Wallis Procedure: • Conclude not all Tau’s equal for • Housing Starts, Labor Force, Hires, Openings, Sale Price • No Diff: Unemployment Same conclusions found when using One-Way ANOVA
Housing Starts • Multiple Comparisons K-W • NE-MW, MW-W • Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons
Unemployment • KW: • No Diffs • Tukey-Kramer
Labor Force • KW • All significantly different • Tukey-Kramer
Hires • KW • Not Different: Midwest and West • Tukey-Kramer
Openings • KW: • Sig Diffs: NE-W, NE-S, MW-S, W-S • Tukey-Kramer
Housing Prices • KW: • Sig Diffs: NE-MW, NE-S, MW-W, W-S • Tukey-Kramer:
