2: ANOVA Foundations

Overview Section

In this lesson, we will begin to learn about the notation and formulas used to compute the fundamental quantities for ANOVA-related hypothesis testing as well as for mean comparison procedures. The application of these statistical procedures will be illustrated using the greenhouse example from Lesson 1.

Objectives

Upon completion of this lesson, you should be able to:

  1. Perform basic computations for Single Factor ANOVA and interpret the results.
  2. Carry out the Tukey pairwise mean comparison method.
  3. Learn about other pairwise mean comparison methods.
  4. Conduct a contrast analysis that accommodates the comparison of group means.
