    Relationship Among Techniques

    Analysis of variance (ANOVA)is used as a testof means for two or more populations. The nullhypothesis, typically, is that all means are equal.

    Analysis of variance must have a dependent

    variable that is metric (measured using aninterval or ratio scale.

    There must also be one or more independent

    variables that are all categorical (nonmetric.Categorical independent variables are also calledfactors.

    Relationship Among Techniques

    A particular combination of factor levels, or categories, is called

    a treatment.

    One-way analysis of varianceinvolves only one categoricalvariable, or a single factor. !n one"way analysis of variance, atreatment is the same as a factor level.

    !f two or more factors are involved, the analysis is termedn-way analysis of variance.

    !f the set of independent variables consists of both categoricaland metric variables, the technique is called analysis ofcovariance (ANCOVA). !n this case, the categoricalindependent variables are still referred to as factors, whereasthe metric"independent variables are referred to ascovariates.

    Assumptions in Analysis of Variance

    The salient assumptions in analysis of variance canbe summariBed as follows'

    . 3rdinarily, the categories of the independentvariable are assumed to be fi%ed. !nferences aremade only to the specific categories considered.

    This is referred to as the fi8e$-effects mo$el.

    . The error term is normallydistributed, with a 7eromeanand a constant variance. The error is notrelated to any of the categories ofX.

    7. The error terms are uncorrelate$. !f the errorterms are correlated (i.e., the observations are notindependent, the Fratio can be seriouslydistorted.

    means are statistically different.

    A priori contrastsare determined before conducting theanalysis, based on the researcher+s theoretical framewor$.=enerally, a priori contrasts are used in lieu of the AD3VAFtest. The contrasts selected are orthogonal (they are

    !n the case of a single factor with repeated measures, the

    total variation, with nc " degrees of freedom, may be splitinto between"people variation and within"people variation.

    SStotal SSbetween people SSwithin people

    The between"people variation, which is related to thedifferences between the means of people, has n " degreesof freedom. The within"people variation hasn (c " degrees of freedom. The within"people variationmay, in turn, be divided into two different sources of

    variation. 3ne source is related to the differences betweentreatment means, and the second consists of residual orerror variation. The degrees of freedom corresponding tothe treatment variation are c " , and those correspondingto residual variation are (c " (n ".

    A test of the null hypothesis of equal means may

    now be constructed in the usual way'

    @o far we have assumed that the dependentvariable is measured on an interval or ratio scale.

    !f the dependent variable is nonmetric, however, adifferent procedure should be used.

    Nonmetric Analysis of Variance

    Nonmetric analysis of variancee%aminesthe difference in the central tendencies ofmore than two groups when the dependentvariable is measured on an ordinal scale.

    3ne such procedure is thek-sample me$iantest. As its name implies, this is an e%tensionof the median test for two groups, which was

    considered in Chapter 9.

    Nonmetric Analysis of Variance

    A more powerful test is the9rus:al-"allis one-way

    analysis of variance. This is an e%tension of the #ann"*hitney test (Chapter 9. This test also e%amines thedifference in medians. All cases from the kgroups areordered in a single ran$ing. !f the kpopulations are thesame, the groups should be similar in terms of ran$s withineach group. The ran$ sum is calculated for each group.

    &rom these, the Grus$al"*allis Hstatistic, which has a chi"square distribution, is computed.

    The Grus$al"*allis test is more powerful than the k"samplemedian test as it uses the ran$ value of each case, notmerely its location relative to the median. owever, ifthere are a large number of tied ran$ings in the data, thek"sample median test may be a better choice.

    &ultivariate Analysis of Variance

    &ultivariate Analysis of Variance

    &ultivariate analysis of variance(&ANOVA)is similar to analysis of variance(AD3VA, e%cept that instead of one metricdependent variable, we have two or more.

    !n #AD3VA, the null hypothesis is that thevectors of means on multiple dependentvariables are equal across groups.

    #ultivariate analysis of variance isappropriate when there are two or moredependent variables that are correlated.
