Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Definition: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to compare the means of two or more groups or treatments to determine whether there are any significant differences between them. ANOVA assesses the variation between the sample means and the variation within each individual group to make inferences about the population means.

Subtopics:

• Mean Comparison: ANOVA is used to compare the means of two or more groups or treatments.
• Significance Testing: ANOVA determines whether there are significant differences between the group means.
• Between-Group Variation: ANOVA analyzes the variation between the sample means of different groups.
• Within-Group Variation: ANOVA examines the variation within each individual group.
• Population Inferences: ANOVA allows for making inferences about the population means based on the sample data.
