Test assessing the statistical significance of the differences among the obtained means of two or more random samples from a given population.<\/p>\n
Statistical test to compare three or more groups on the mean value of a continuous response variable.<\/p>\n
Estimates of the population variance are made from the variability between groups, presumed to be affected by the intervention or independent variable of interest, and from the within- group variable, which is not so influenced. Comparison of estimates from these two sources shows whether the former is larger than the latter by a ratio (F ratio) greater than would be expected by the influence of random sampling and chance error.<\/p>\n
A statistical technique for defining and segregating the causes of variability affecting a set of observations. Use of this technique provides a basis for analyzing effects of various treatments or variables on subjects or patients being investigated. In an experimental design in which several samples or groups are drawn from the same population, estimates of population variance between samples should differ from each other only by chance. ANOVA provides a method for testing the hypothesis that several random and independent samples are from a common, normal population.<\/p>\n
