Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

February 15, 2010
By
Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) model can be extended from making a comparison between multiple groups to take into account additional factors in an experiment. The simplest extension is from one-way to two-way ANOVA where a second factor is included in the model as well as a potential interaction between the two factors. As an example

Making publication-ready tables with xtable

When you use R at the command-line, the textual output is limited by the medium: one monospaced font, with no typesetting of any kind. That's great when you're doing exploratory analysis, but what about when you want to include R output in a report or publication? In other words, what if you want to convert this Analysis of Variance...

One-way ANOVA (cont.)

In a previous post we considered using R to fit one-way ANOVA models to data. In this post we consider a few additional ways that we can look at the analysis. In the analysis we made use of the linear model function lm and the analysis could be conducted using the aov function. The code used

R Tutorial Series: Basic Polynomial Regression

Often times, a scatterplot reveals a pattern that seems not so linear. Polynomial regression can be used to explore a predictor at different levels of curvilinearity. This tutorial will demonstrate how polynomial regression can be used in a hierarchical fashion to best represent a dataset in R.

One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a commonly used statistical technique for investigating data by comparing the means of subsets of the data. The base case is the one-way ANOVA which is an extension of two-sample t test for independent groups covering situations where there are more than two groups being compared. In one-way ANOVA the data

R Tutorial Series: Hierarchical Linear Regression

Regression models can become increasingly complex as more variables are included in an analysis. Furthermore, they can become exceedingly convoluted when things such as polynomials and interactions are explored. Thankfully, once the potential independe...

Latin squares design in R

The Latin square design is used where the researcher desires to control the variation in an experiment that is related to rows and columns in the field.
Remember that:
* Treatments are assigned at random within rows and columns, with each treatment once per row and once per column.
* There are equal numbers...
