ANOVA_Presentation

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical method used to compare the means of three or more groups to determine if observed differences are statistically significant. It avoids the increased risk of Type I error associated with multiple t-tests and is applicable in various fields such as medical research and education. The method includes different types such as One-Way, Two-Way, and Repeated Measures ANOVA, and requires certain assumptions to be met for valid results.

Introduction to ANOVA (Analysis of

Variance)
• Statistical Method for Comparing Group
Means
What is ANOVA?
• ANOVA = Analysis of Variance
• Used to compare means of 3 or more groups
• Determines if observed differences are
statistically significant
• Based on partitioning total variance into
within-group and between-group components
Why Use ANOVA?
• Avoids multiple t-tests and increased risk of
Type I error
• Efficiently analyzes complex experiments with
multiple groups
• Applicable in medical research, psychology,
education, and more
Types of ANOVA
• One-Way ANOVA – One independent variable
(factor)
• Two-Way ANOVA – Two independent variables
• Repeated Measures ANOVA – Same subjects
measured multiple times
• MANOVA – Multiple dependent variables
ANOVA Assumptions
• Normal distribution of residuals
• Homogeneity of variances (Levene’s Test)
• Independence of observations
• Random sampling
One-Way ANOVA Example
• Scenario: Testing effectiveness of 3 diets on
weight loss
• Group A: Low-carb
• Group B: Mediterranean
• Group C: Low-fat
• Output: F(2, 27) = 5.67, p = 0.009
• Conclusion: Significant difference exists among
at least one pair of groups
ANOVA Table Structure
• Source | SS | df | MS | F | p-value
• Between | SSB | k-1 | MSB | MSB/MSW
|p
• Within (Error)| SSW | N-k | MSW | |
• Total | SST | N-1 | | |
Post-Hoc Tests
• If ANOVA is significant → perform Post-Hoc
analysis
• Examples:
• Tukey's HSD
• Bonferroni
• Scheffé test
• Identifies which groups differ
Advantages and Limitations
• Advantages:
• Handles multiple groups
• Controls Type I error
• Widely applicable
• Limitations:
• Sensitive to violations of assumptions
• Doesn't pinpoint which group differs (needs
post-hoc)
• Less powerful with small sample sizes
Conclusion and Real-World
Applications
• ANOVA is a cornerstone in inferential statistics
• Ideal for experimental and observational
studies
• Used in fields like: Clinical trials, Marketing
studies, Educational interventions
• Explore further: try conducting ANOVA using
SPSS, R, or Python
