Analysis of Variance Review of T-Test ✔ The basic ANOVA situation ✔ How ANOVA works One factor ANOVA model ANCOVA and MANOVA

The basic ANOVA situation Two variables: 1 Categorical, 1 Quantitative Main Question: Do the (means of) the quantitative variables depend on which group (given by categorical variable) the individual is in? If categorical variable has only 2 values: 2-sample t-test ANOVA allows for 3 or more groups

An example ANOVA situation Subjects: 25 patients with blisters Treatments: Treatment A, Treatment B, Placebo Measurement: # of days until blisters heal Data [and means]: A: 5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10 [7.25] B: 7,7,8,9,9,10,10,11 [8.875] P: 7,9,9,10,10,10,11,12,13 [10.11] Are these differences significant?

Informal Investigation Graphical investigation: side-by-side box plots multiple histograms Whether the differences between the groups are significant depends on the difference in the means the standard deviations of each group the sample sizes ANOVA determines P-value from the F statistic

What does ANOVA do? At its simplest ANOVA tests the following hypotheses: H 0 : The means of all the groups are equal. H a : Not all the means are equal doesn’t say how or which ones differ. Can follow up with “multiple comparisons”

Assumptions of ANOVA  each group is approximately normal · check this by looking at histograms and/or normal quantile plots, or use assumptions · can handle some nonnormality, but not severe outliers  standard deviations of each group are approximately equal · rule of thumb: ratio of largest to smallest sample st. dev. must be less than 2:1

Normality Check We should check for normality using: assumptions about population histograms for each group normal quantile plot for each group With such small data sets, there really isn’t a really good way to check normality from data, but we make the common assumption that physical measurements of people tend to be normally distributed.

Standard Deviation Check Compare largest and smallest standard deviations: largest: smallest: x 2 = > Variable treatment N Mean StDev days A B P

Notation for ANOVA n = number of individuals all together m = number of groups = mean for entire data set is Group j has n j = # of individuals in group j x ij = value for individual i in group j = mean for group j s j = standard deviation for group j

How ANOVA works (outline) ANOVA measures two sources of variation in the data and compares their relative sizes  variation BETWEEN groups for each data value look at the difference between its group mean and the overall mean  variation WITHIN groups for each data value we look at the difference between that value and the mean of its group

The ANOVA F-statistic A ratio of the Between Group Variation divided by the Within Group Variation: A large F is evidence against H 0, since it indicates that there is more difference between groups than within groups.

How are these computations made? We want to measure the amount of variation due to BETWEEN group variation and WITHIN group variation For each data value, we calculate its contribution to: BETWEEN group variation: WITHIN group variation:

An even smaller example Suppose we have three groups Group 1: 5.3, 6.0, 6.7 Group 2: 5.5, 6.2, 6.4, 5.7 Group 3: 7.5, 7.2, 7.9 We get the following statistics:

Excel ANOVA Output 1 less than number of groups: m-1=2 number of data values - number of groups: n-m=7 1 less than number of individuals: n-1=9

The example ANOVA situation again Subjects: 25 patients with blisters Treatments: Treatment A, Treatment B, Placebo Measurement: # of days until blisters heal Data: A: 5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10 B: 7,7,8,9,9,10,10,11 P: 7,9,9,10,10,10,11,12,13

Minitab ANOVA Output 1 less than # of groups: m-1=2 # of data values - # of groups: n-m=22 1 less than # of individuals: n-1=24 Analysis of Variance for days Source DF SS MS F P treatment Error Total

Minitab ANOVA Output Analysis of Variance for days Source DF SS MS F P treatment Error Total SS stands for sum of squares MS = SS/DF

Minitab ANOVA Output MSG = SSG / DFG Analysis of Variance for days Source DF SS MS F P treatment Error Total F = MSG / MSE P-value comes from F(DFG,DFE) (P-values for the F statistic are in Table E) MSE = SSE / DFE

So How big is F? Since F is Mean Square Between / Mean Square Within = MSG / MSE A large value of F indicates relatively more difference between groups than within groups (evidence against H 0 ) To get the P-value, we compare to F(m-1,n-m)-distribution m-1 degrees of freedom in numerator (# groups -1) n-m degrees of freedom in denominator (rest of df)

Connections between SST, MST, and standard deviation So SST = (n -1) s 2, and MST = s 2. That is, SST and MST measure the TOTAL variation in the data set. If ignore the groups for a moment and just compute the standard deviation of the entire data set, we see

Connections between SSE, MSE, and standard deviation So SS[Within Group j] = (s j 2 ) (df j ) This means that we can compute SSE from the standard deviations and sizes (df) of each group: Remember:

Pooled estimate for st. dev One of the ANOVA assumptions is that all groups have the same standard deviation. so MSE is the pooled estimate of variance m=p+1

ANOVA 由英国统计 学家 R.A.Fisher 首创， 为纪念 Fisher ，以 F 命 名，故方差分析又称 F 检验 （ F test ）。用于 推断多个总体均数有无 差异

Mechanics: One factor ANOVA model One factor ANOVA model: X ij =μ+τ j +ε ij where μ is the overall mean of the population, τ j is the treatment effect associated with level j of the experimental factor (i.e., Group j), ε ij is assumed to be distributed independently and identically with mean zero and variance σ 2.

Mechanics: One factor ANOVA model We now state the null hypothesis as follows: H 0 : τ 1 = τ 2 =…= τ p+1 =0 It can be proved that

Where’s the Difference?

Clearest difference: P is worse than A (CI’s don’t overlap)

Multiple Comparisons Once ANOVA indicates that the groups do not all have the same means, we can compare them two by two using the 2-sample t test We need to adjust our p-value threshold because we are doing multiple tests with the same data. There are several methods for doing this. If we really just want to test the difference between one pair of treatments, we should set the study up that way.

Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) ANCOVA allows for the introduction of other independent variables into ANOVA. Here are two reasons: 1.To introduce the precision of an experiment by removing possible sources of variance in the dependent variable that are attributed to factors not being controlled by the researcher. 2.To introduce a covariate to account for systematic differences across treatment groups that for some reason were not controlled for in the experiment design.

One factor ANCOVA model One factor ANOVA model with covariate Z: X ij =μ+τ j +βZ ij +ε ij where μ is the overall mean of the population, τ j is the treatment effect associated with level j of the experimental factor (i.e., Group j), ε ij is assumed to be distributed independently and identically with mean zero and variance σ 2. Z is a standarized variable.

Mulitiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) In some experiments, there are multiple dependent variables because the same measure is taken from each subject at different points in time following the treatment. For example, after administrating a new drug, it might be important to measure the incidence of side effects or complications short after the treatment and again later. This type of an experiment is known as a repeated-measures design.
