STAT 101 Dr. Kari Lock Morgan ANOVA • SECTION 8.1 • Testing for a difference in means across multiple categories
Review: Chi-Square Tests • The χ2 goodness-of-fit tests if one categorical variable differs from a null distribution • The χ2 test for association tests for an association between twocategorical variables • For both, you compute the expected counts in each cell (assuming H0) and the χ2 statistic: • Find the proportion above the χ2 statistic in a randomization or χ2-distribution (if all expected counts > 5)
Multiple Categories • So far, we’ve learned how to do inference for a difference in means IF the categorical variable has only two categories • Today, we’ll learn how to do hypothesis tests for a difference in means across multiple categories
Hypothesis Testing • State Hypotheses • Calculate a statistic, based on your sample data • Create a distribution of this statistic, as it would be observed if the null hypothesis were true • Measure how extreme your test statistic from (2) is, as compared to the distribution generated in (3) test statistic
Cuckoo Birds • Cuckoo birds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds • When the cuckoo baby hatches, it kicks out all the original eggs/babies • If the cuckoo is lucky, the mother will raise the cuckoo as if it were her own • Do cuckoo birds found in nests of different species differ in size? http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/01/cuckoo-cuckoo/
Notation • k = number of groups • nj = number of units in group j • n = overall number of units • = n1 + n2 + … + nk
Cuckoo Eggs • k = 5 • n1 = 15, n2 = 60, n3 = 16, n4 = 14, n5 = 15 • n = 120
Hypotheses • To test for a difference in means across k groups:
Test Statistic Why can’t use the familiar formula to get the test statistic? • We need something a bit more complicated…
Difference in Means Whether or not two means are significantly different depends on • How far apart the means are • How much variability there is within each group
Analysis of Variance • Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) compares the variability between groupsto the variability within groups Total Variability Variability Between Groups Variability Within Groups
Analysis of Variance • If the groups are actually different, then • the variability between groups should be higher than the variability within groups • the variability within groups should be higher than the variability between groups
Discoveries for Today • How to measure variability between groups? • How to measure variability within groups? • How to compare the two measures? • How to determine significance?

Sums of Squares • We will measure variability as sums of squared deviations (aka sums of squares) • familiar?
Sums of Squares Total Variability Variability Between Groups Variability Within Groups data value i overall mean mean in group j overall mean ithdata value in group j mean in group j Sum over all data values Sum over all groups Sum over all data values
Deviations Group 1 Group 1 Mean Group 2 Overall Mean
Sums of Squares Total Variability Variability Between Groups Variability Within Groups SST (Total sum of squares) SSG (sum of squares due to groups) SSE (“Error” sum of squares)
ANOVA Table The “mean square” is the sum of squares divided by the degrees of freedom average variability variability

F-Statistic • The F-statisticis a ratio of the average variability between groups to the average variability within groups
F-statistic • If there really is a difference between the groups, we would expect the F-statistic to be • Higher than we would observe by random chance • Lower than we would observe by random chance
Discoveries for Today • How to measure variability between groups? • How to measure variability within groups? • How to compare the two measures? • How to determine significance?
How to determine significance? • We have a test statistic. What else do we need to perform the hypothesis test? • A distribution of the test statistic assuming H0 is true • How do we get this? Two options: • Simulation • Distributional Theory
Simulation • www.lock5stat.com/statkey Because a difference would make the F-statistic higher, calculate proportion in the upper tail An F-statistic this large would be very unlikely to happen just by random chance if the means were all equal, so we have strong evidence that the mean lengths of cuckoo birds in nests of different species are not all equal.
F-distribution F-distribution
F-Distribution • If the following conditions hold, • Sample sizes in each group are large (each nj≥ 30) OR the data are relatively normally distributed • Variability is similar in all groups • The null hypothesis is true • then the F-statistic follows an F-distribution • The F-distribution has two degrees of freedom, one for the numerator of the ratio (k – 1) and one for the denominator (n – k)
Equal Variance • The F-distribution assumes equal within group variability for each group • As a rough rule of thumb, this assumption is violated if the standard deviation of one group is more than double the standard deviation of another group
F-distribution • Can we use the F-distribution to calculate the p-value for the Cuckoo bird eggs? • Yes • No • Need more • information
ANOVA Table • Equal variability • Normal(ish) data We have very strong evidence that average length of cuckoo eggs differs for nests of different species
Study Hours by Class Year • Can we use the F-distribution to calculate the p-value for whether there is a difference in average hours spent studying per week by class year at Duke? • Yes • No • Need more • information
Study Hours by Class Year Is there a difference in the average hours spent studying per week by class year at Duke? Yes No Cannot tell from this data I didn’t finish
Summary • Analysis of variance is used to test for a difference in means between groups by comparing the variability between groups to the variability within groups • Sums of squares are used to measure variability • The F-statistic is the ratio of average variability between groups to average variability within groups • The F-statistic follows an F-distribution, if sample sizes are large (or data is normal), variability is equal across groups, and the null hypothesis is true
