Between-subject and within-subjects designs differ in several ways. What is the importance of a one-way between-subjects ANOVA, and what are you comparing? Please explain the processes and application of the one-way ANOVA between-subjects design.
You can also explain or define what a one-way ANOVA is and how it applies in research.
A one-way ANOVA evaluates the impact of a sole factor on a sole response variable. It determines whether all the samples are the same. The one-way ANOVA is used to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means of three or more independent (unrelated) groups.In statistics, one-way analysis of variance (abbreviated one-way ANOVA) is a technique that can be used to compare means of two or more samples (using the F distribution). This technique can be used only for numerical response data, the "Y", usually one variable, and numerical or (usually) categorical input data, the "X", always one variable, hence "one-way".
Examples of when to use a one way ANOVA
Situation 1: You have a group of individuals
randomly split into smaller groups and completing different tasks.
For example, you might be studying the effects of tea on weight
loss and form three groups: green tea, black tea, and no tea.
Situation 2: Similar to situation 1, but in this
case the individuals are split into groups based on an attribute
they possess. For example, you might be studying leg strength of
people according to weight. You could split participants into
weight categories (obese, overweight and normal) and measure their
leg strength on a weight machine.
The data and statistical summaries of the data
One form of organizing experimental observations is with groups in columns:
Lists of Group Observations | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ||||||||
2 | ||||||||
3 | ||||||||
Group Summary Statistics | Grand Summary Statistics | |||||||
# Observed | # Observed | |||||||
Sum | Sum | |||||||
Sum Sq | Sum Sq | |||||||
Mean | Mean | |||||||
Variance | Variance |
Comparing model to summaries: and . The grand mean and grand variance are computed from the grand sums, not from group means and variances.
The hypothesis test[edit]
Given the summary statistics, the calculations of the hypothesis test are shown in tabular form. While two columns of SS are shown for their explanatory value, only one column is required to display results.
Source of variation | Sums of squares | Sums of squares | Degrees of freedom | Mean square | F |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Explanatory SS | SS | DF | MS | ||
Treatments | {\displaystyle J-1} | ||||
Error | |||||
Total |
is the estimate of variance corresponding to of the model.
