ANOVA Analysis of Variance
Introduction • We’re making paper bags and want to see what we can do to improve the tensile strength of the bags. • Conduct an experiment to determine if the level of hardwood in the bags affects tensile strength. • Investigate 4 levels of hardwood. • Select 6 samples at each level • 5% 10% 15% 20%

Introduction • Study of pain threshold / color of a person’s hair • Small sample size • Means differ • Dark brunette: 37.4 • Light brunette: 42.5 • Dark blonde: 51.2 • Light blonde: 59.2 • Are these different or is this caused by random variation?

Definitions • Experiment • A study designed to investigate the effect one variable has on the value of another variable • Dependent variable • The variable of interest that we are measuring. • Sometimes called the response variable. • Dependent variable is quantitative. • Independent variable • The observed (or controlled) variable we use to detect its effect on the independent variable. • Independent variable can be quantitative or qualitative.
Definitions • Independent variable • Sometimes referred to as a factor or explanatory variable. • One or more factors may be involved in a study. • An experiment may involve different factor levels. • Each specific level of a factor (or the intersection of multiple factors) is referred to as a treatment. • When there’s only one factor level in an experiment, the terms factor levels and treatments are used interchangeably.
Experiments • Observational study • No control over the factors • Completely randomized design • Select random independent samples for each treatment OR • Randomly assign treatments to selected people • Complete randomization is not possible in observational studies
Hypothesis Testing • H0: µ1 = µ2 = ... = µt * • µt * = the total number of treatments in the experiment • Ha: At least one of the treatment group means differs from the rest. OR At least two of the population means are not equal. • We will be comparing the variation between groups and the variation within groups • Between>within indicates a difference in the means
ANOVA Terminology • Labels for individual responses • = the individual response for the jth observation receiving the ith treatment • = the average of all the observations receiving a treatment • = the average for all the observations in the experiment
Definitions Variation within groups… Variation between groups… d a b c
Paper Bag Hypothesis • H0: µ.05= µ.10= µ.15 = µ.20 • Ha: At least one mean differs from the other 3 OR At least 2 of the means are not equal
