One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Between Subject
What is One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)?
One-Way ANOVA ("analysis of
variance") compares the means of two or more independent groups in order
to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated
population means are significantly different. One-Way ANOVA is a parametric test. This test is also known
as: One-Factor ANOVA.
Purpose:
To determine if there is a significant difference in the means of two or more independent groups.
Assumptions:
The data are normally distributed.
The variances of the groups are equal (homogeneity of variances).
The observations are independent.
Steps:
1. State the Hypotheses:
Null Hypothesis (H0): The means of the groups are equal.
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): The means of the groups are not equal.
2. Calculate the Test Statistic:
The test statistic for one-way ANOVA is the F-statistic, which measures the ratio of between-group variance to within-group variance:
F = (between-group variance) / (within-group variance)
3. Determine the Critical Value:
The critical value is determined using the F-distribution with (k-1) and (n-k) degrees of freedom, where k is the number of groups and n is the total sample size.
4. Compare the Test Statistic to the Critical Value:
If the test statistic is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in the means of the groups.
If the test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference.
5. Post-hoc Analysis (Optional):
If the null hypothesis is rejected, post-hoc tests can be used to identify which specific groups are significantly different. If a significant difference is found, post-hoc tests (e.g., Tukey's HSD, Bonferroni's test) can be used to determine which pairs of groups differ significantly.
Applications of One-Way ANOVA:
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique used to compare the means of several independent groups. It is commonly used in various fields of research and analysis. Some of the typical applications of one-way ANOVA include:
1. Comparing Treatment Effects:
Evaluating the effectiveness of different treatments or interventions in a clinical or experimental setting.
Assessing the impact of different educational programs on student achievement.
Determining the influence of various marketing campaigns on sales.
2. Analyzing Group Differences:
Comparing the means of different demographic groups (e.g., age, gender, income) on a particular measure.
Assessing the variation between different species or populations based on specific characteristics.
3. Testing Hypotheses:
Testing the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the means of multiple groups.
Examining whether a specific treatment or intervention has a significant effect compared to a control group.
4. Selecting the Best Group:
Identifying the group with the highest or lowest mean value among multiple groups.
Determining the optimal treatment or intervention based on statistical significance.
5. Evaluating Interactions:
Assessing whether the effect of one factor depends on the level of another factor (i.e., interaction effects).
Determining if there is a significant difference in the treatment effect across different subgroups.
6. Industry and Business:
Comparing the sales performance of different regions or product lines.
Identifying factors that influence customer satisfaction or product quality.
7. Education:
Evaluating the effectiveness of different teaching methods or curricula.
Assessing student performance across different demographic groups or socioeconomic levels.
Example:
Suppose we have three groups of students who are given different study methods. We want to determine if the study methods have an effect on the students' test scores.
Data:
| Group | Mean | Sample Size |
|---|---|---|
| Method A | 80 | 20 |
| Method B | 85 | 25 |
| Method C | 75 | 30 |
Analysis:
Null Hypothesis: The means of the groups are equal.
Alternative Hypothesis: The means of the groups are not equal.
Test Statistic: F = 3.27
Critical Value (alpha = 0.05): F_crit = 2.76
Conclusion: Since the test statistic (3.27) is greater than the critical value (2.76), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in the means of the groups.
Post-hoc analysis: We can use Tukey's HSD test to determine which specific groups are significantly different. The results show that Method B is significantly different from Method A and Method C, but Method A and Method C are not significantly different from each other.
Example 2:
Objective: To compare the efficacy of three different medications for treating migraines.
Design: Randomized, between-subjects, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Participants: 150 patients with migraines were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups:
Group 1 (n = 50): Medication A
Group 2 (n = 50): Medication B
Group 3 (n = 50): Medication C
Procedure:
Participants were given the assigned medication for 12 weeks.
The primary outcome measure was the number of migraines experienced per month during the 12-week study period.
Analysis:
One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the mean number of migraines per month between the three groups.
Results:
The ANOVA results showed a significant main effect of treatment group (F(2, 147) = 10.23, p < 0.001).
Post-hoc comparisons using Tukey's HSD test revealed significant differences between the following groups:
Group 1 (Medication A) had significantly fewer migraines per month compared to Group 2 (Medication B) (p < 0.05).
Group 1 (Medication A) had significantly fewer migraines per month compared to Group 3 (Medication C) (p < 0.01).
There was no significant difference in the mean number of migraines per month between Group 2 (Medication B) and Group 3 (Medication C) (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Based on these results, Medication A was found to be more effective in reducing the frequency of migraines compared to Medications B and C.
