2B, the groups were divided into three and the mean was established in the center of each group in an effort to explain the entire population with these three points. Although it is more cumbersome than explaining the entire population with just the overall mean, it is more reasonable to first form groups of points with the same shape and establish the mean for each group, and then explain the population with the three means. Therefore, explaining all the points with just the overall mean would be inappropriate, and the points would be divided into groups in such a way that the same shapes belong to the same group.
However, a closer look shows that the points inside the circle have different shapes and the points with the same shape appear to be gathered together. Here, let us assume that the black rectangle in the middle represents the overall mean. Values that are commonly referred to as the mean, median, and mode can be used as the representative value. 2A, the explanation could be given with the points lumped together as a single representative value. What that means is, instead of independently observing the groups of scattered points, as shown in Fig. Statistics can be regarded as a study field that attempts to express data which are difficult to understand with an easy and simple ways so that they can be represented in a brief and simple forms. The meaning of this equation will be explained as an illustration for easier understanding. It is not easy to look at this complex equation and understand ANOVA at a single glance. Here, Ȳ i is the mean of the group i n i is the number of observations of the group i Ȳ is the overall mean K is the number of groups Y ij is the j th observational value of group i and N is the number of all observational values. Accordingly, F statistic is expressed as a variance ratio, as shown below.į = I n t e r g r o u p v a r i a n c e I n t r a g r o u p v a r i a n c e = ∑ i = 1 K n i Y - i - Y - 2 / ( K - 1 ) ∑ i j = 1 n Y i j - Y - i 2 / ( N - K ) The ANOVA test is also referred to as the F test, and F distribution is a distribution formed by the variance ratios. This F comes from the name of the statistician Ronald Fisher. In other words, there has to be a distribution that serves as the reference and that distribution is called F distribution. In Table 3, the significance is ultimately determined using a significance probability value (P value), and in order to obtain this value, the statistic and its position in the distribution to which it belongs, must be known.
First, let us examine the ANOVA table ( Table 3) that is commonly obtained as a product of ANOVA. Let us examine the reason why the differences in means can be explained by analyzing the variances, despite the fact that the core of the problem that we want to figure out lies with the comparisons of means.įor example, let us examine whether there are differences in the height of students according to their grades ( Table 2). ANOVA is an acronym for analysis of variance, and as the name itself implies, it is variance analysis. When the null hypothesis is true, the probability of accepting it becomes 1-α.Īlthough various methods have been used to avoid the hypothesis testing error due to significance level inflation, such as adjusting the significance level by the number of comparisons, the ideal method for resolving this problem as a single statistic is the use of ANOVA. This is the maximum probability of Type I error that can reject the null hypothesis of “differences in means do not exist” in the comparison between two mutually independent groups obtained from one experiment. The maximum allowable error range that can claim “differences in means exist” can be defined as the significance level (α). Let us assume that the distribution of differences in the means of two groups is as shown in Fig. In other words, even though the null hypothesis is true, the probability of rejecting it increases, whereby the probability of concluding that the alternative hypothesis (research hypothesis) has significance increases, despite the fact that it has no significance. In the comparison of the means of three groups that are mutually independent and satisfy the normality and equal variance assumptions, when each group is paired with another to attempt three paired comparisons 1), the increase in Type I error becomes a common occurrence.
