Understanding one-way ANOVA using conceptual figures
نویسنده
چکیده
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is one of the most frequently used statistical methods in medical research. The need for ANOVA arises from the error of alpha level inflation, which increases Type 1 error probability (false positive) and is caused by multiple comparisons. ANOVA uses the statistic F, which is the ratio of between and within group variances. The main interest of analysis is focused on the differences of group means; however, ANOVA focuses on the difference of variances. The illustrated figures would serve as a suitable guide to understand how ANOVA determines the mean difference problems by using between and within group variance differences.

This study explores the metaphoric comprehension of normal Persian-speaking children, as well as theories of cognitive development and cultural and social impacts. The researchers discuss the improvement of the understanding of ontological conceptual metaphors through age growth and cognitive development, and how it helps to expand children’s thoughts and knowledge of the world. In this study, ...

I present an active learning classroom exercise illustrating essential principles of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods. The exercise is easily conducted by the instructor and is instructive (as well as enjoyable) for the students. This is conducive for demonstrating many theoretical and practical issues related to ANOVA and lends itself to multiple possible configurations of ANOVA re...
متن کاملUnderstanding the One-way Anova
The One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a procedure for testing the hypothesis that K population means are equal, where K > 2. The One-way ANOVA compares the means of the samples or groups in order to make inferences about the population means. The One-way ANOVA is also called a single factor analysis of variance because there is only one independent variable or factor. The independent vari...

The one-way random-effect ANOVA model is presented, and two simulated datasets are analyzed. and discussed from three points of view: (1) The standard ANOVA table, F test, and method-of-moments estimates of variance components, which can lead to negative estimates. (2) Maximum likelihood estimates of variance components. (3) Bayesian probability intervals for variance components based on flat p...
