A renaissance for Anova ?

چکیده
Factorial models and analysis of variance have been a central pillar of statistical thinking and practice for at least 70 years, so the opportunity to revisit these topics to look for signs of new life is welcome. Given its lengthy history, Anova is an unpromising area for new development, but recent advances in computational techniques have altered the outlook regarding spatial factors, and could possibly affect what is done in non-spatial applications of factorial designs. In common with a large number of statisticians, Gelman regards analysis of variance as an algorithm or procedure with a well-defined sequence of computational steps to be performed in fixed sequence. The paper emphasizes tactics, how to ‘perform Anova’, how to ‘set up an Anova’, how to compute ‘the correct Anova’, what software to use and how to use it to best effect. The ‘solution to the Anova problem’ proffered in section 3.2 emphasizes once again, how to do it in the modern hierarchical style. Were it not for the recommendation favouring shrinkage, one might have expected a more accurate descriptive title such as the Joy of Anova.

Examining the Relationship between “Science” and “Religion” in Socio-Cultural Context of the Renaissance: A Kuhnian Reading of Bacon’s New Atlantis
Thomas Kuhn’s model of paradigm shift as an intra-systemic framework to account for changes within the scientific discourse has been adopted by scholars in different fields as diverse as sociology, theology, economy, and education, to name only a few. The present study argues that the same model can usefully be drawn upon to examine the relationship between ‘science’ and ‘religion’ with some re...

The Evolution of Renaissance Classicism
The term "Renaissance classicism" refers to a fundamental attribute of the period that scholars refer to as the European Renaissance, roughly 1400–1600. Renaissance classicism was an intellectual movement that sought to mimic the literature, rhetoric, art, and philosophy of the ancient world, specifically ancient Rome. Scholars, politicians, and philosophers looked to ancient literary and artis...
