Anova
Anova
Experimental Design
• Investigator controls one or more independent
variables
– Called treatment variables or factors
– Contain two or more levels (subcategories)
• Observes effect on dependent variable
– Response to levels of independent variable
• Experimental design: Plan used to test
hypotheses
Parametric Test Procedures
• Involve population parameters
– Example: Population mean
• Require interval scale or ratio scale
– Whole numbers or fractions
– Example: Height in inches: 72, 60.5, 54.7
• Have stringent assumptions
Examples:
– Normal distribution
– Homogeneity of Variance
Examples: z - test, t - test
Nonparametric Test Procedures
• Statistic does not depend on population
distribution
• Data may be nominally or ordinally scaled
– Examples: Gender [female-male], Birth Order
• May involve population parameters such as
median
• Example: Wilcoxon rank sum test
Advantages
of Nonparametric Tests
• Used with all scales
• Easier to compute
– Developed before wide computer use
• Make fewer assumptions
• Need not involve population
parameters
• Results may be as exact as
parametric procedures

Disadvantages
of Nonparametric Tests
• May waste information
© 1984-1994 T/Maker Co.
– If data permit using parametric
procedures
– Example: Converting data from
ratio to ordinal scale
• Difficult to compute by hand
for large samples
• Tables not widely available
ANOVA (one-way)
One factor,
completely randomized
design
Completely Randomized Design
• Experimental units (subjects) are assigned
randomly to treatments
– Subjects are assumed homogeneous
• One factor or independent variable
– two or more treatment levels or classifications
• Analyzed by [parametric statistics]:
– One-and Two-Way ANOVA
Mini-Case
After working for the Jones Graphics
Company for one year, you have the choice
of being paid by one of three programs:
- commission only,
- fixed salary, or
- combination of the two.
Salary Plans
• Commission only?
• Fixed salary?
• Combination of the
two?
