What If There Are More Than
Two Factor Levels?
The t-test does not directly apply
There are lots of practical situations where there are
either more than two levels of interest, or there are
several factors of simultaneous interest
The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the appropriate
analysis engine for these types of experiments
Chapter 3, textbook
The ANOVA was developed by Fisher in the early
1920s, and initially applied to agricultural experiments
Used extensively today for industrial experiments

In general, there will be a levels of the factor, or a treatments,
and n replicates of the experiment, run in random ordera
completely randomized design (CRD)
N = an total runs
We consider the fixed effects casethe random effects case will
be discussed later
Objective is to test hypotheses about the equality of the a
treatment means

Models for the Data
There are several ways to write a model for
the data:
is called the effects model

is called the means model

The Analysis of Variance
The name analysis of variance stems from a
partitioning of the total variability in the response
variable into components that are consistent with a
model for the experiment
The basic single-factor ANOVA model is

A small value of SS

likely indicates no differences in
treatment means

Chap 11-10
The Analysis of Variance
While sums of squares cannot be directly compared to test
the hypothesis of equal means, mean squares can be
compared.
A mean square is a sum of squares divided by its degrees of
freedom:
If the treatment means are equal, the treatment and error
mean squares will be (theoretically) equal.
If treatment means differ, the treatment mean square will be
larger than the error mean square.

Features of One-Way ANOVA
F Statistic
The F Statistic is the Ratio of the Among
Estimate of Variance and the Within Estimate
of Variance
The ratio must always be positive
df
1
= a -1 will typically be small
df
2
= N - c will typically be large
The Ratio Should Be Close to 1 if the Null is
True

Post-ANOVA Comparison of Means
The analysis of variance tests the hypothesis of equal treatment
means
Assume that residual analysis is satisfactory
If that hypothesis is rejected, we dont know which specific
means are different
Determining which specific means differ following an ANOVA is
called the multiple comparisons problem
There are lots of ways to do thissee text, Section 3-5, pg. 86
We will use pairwise t-tests on meanssometimes called Fishers

Randomized Blocked Design
Items are Divided into Blocks
Individual items in different samples are matched,
or repeated measurements are taken
Reduced within group variation (i.e., remove the
effect of block before testing)
Response of Each Treatment Group is
Obtained
Assumptions
Same as completely randomized design
No interaction effect between treatments and
blocks
