  1. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) MARE 250 Dr. Jason Turner

  2. ANOVA Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Method for comparing the means of more than two populations

  3. ANOVA Research Question: Are there differences in the mean number of total urchins across locations at Onekahakaha?

  4. ANOVA Research Question: Are there differences in the mean number of total urchins across locations at Onekahakaha? Null hypothesis: Ho: μ(shallow)= μ(middle) = μ (deep) Ha: All means not equal

  5. ANOVA Why not run multiple T-test? μ1 μ2 μ3

  6. ANOVA Why not run multiple T-test? μ1 μ2 μ3 1. Number of t-tests increases with # of groups becomes cognitively difficult 2. ↑ Number of analyses = ↑ probability of committing Type I error Probability of committing at least one type I error = experiment-wise error rate

  7. Assumptions for One-Way ANOVA Look Familiar? One-Way ANOVA Four assumptions for t-test hypothesis testing: 1. Random Samples 2. Independent Samples 3. Normal Populations (or large samples) 4. Variances (std. dev.) are equal

  8. ANOVA A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests the hypothesis that the means of several populations are equal The null hypothesis for the test is that all population means (level means) are the same – H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 The alternative hypothesis is that one or more population means differ from the others – Ha: Not all means are equal

  9. ANOVA H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 Ha: Not all means are equal One-way ANOVA: _ Urchins versus Location Source DF SS MS F P Location 2 60.54 30.27 10.00 0.000 Error 177 535.77 3.03 Total 179 596.31 We reject the null that all means not equal Accept alternative that all means not equal Is that all?

  10. Multiple Comparisons Allow you to determine the relations among all the means Several methods: Tukey, Fisher’s LSD, Dunnett’s, Bonferroni, Scheffe, etc Most focus on Tukey

  11. Multiple Comparisons • 3 ways to test: • 1) Confidence Intervals • - default on “older” Minitab versions • - less intuitive than other methods • 2) Grouping Information • - Just answers, no details • - easy to interpret • 3) Simultaneous Tests • - t-tests run after ANOVA • - provides details; interpret like t-test

  12. Tukey's method Tukey's method compares the means for each pair of factor levels using a family error rate to control the rate of type I error Results are presented as a set of confidence intervals for the difference between pairs of means Use the intervals to determine whether the means are different: If an interval does not contain zero, there is a statistically significant difference between the corresponding means If the interval does contain zero, the difference between the means is not statistically significant

  13. Tukey 95% Simultaneous Confidence Intervals

  14. Tukey 95% Simultaneous Confidence Intervals Deep vs. Middle = Not significantly different Deep vs. Shallow = Significantly different Middle vs. Shallow = Significantly different

  15. Tukey Grouping Information Deep vs. Middle = Not significantly different Deep vs. Shallow = Significantly different Middle vs. Shallow = Significantly different

  16. Tukey Test (using GLM) Deep vs. Middle = Not significantly different Deep vs. Shallow = Significantly different Middle vs. Shallow = Significantly different

  17. Non-Parametric Version of ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis If samples are independent, similarly distributed data Use nonparametric test regardless of normality or sample size Is based upon mean of ranks of the data – not the mean or variance (Like Mann-Whitney) If the variation in mean ranks is large – reject null Uses p-value like ANOVA Last Resort/Not Resort –low sample size, “bad” data

  18. Non-Parametric Version of ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis Does not have multiple comparisons test (Tukey’s) Will need to run separate “t-tests” (Mann-Whitney) to test for differences between individual “means”

  20. When Do I Do the What Now? “Well, whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions.” – Grandpa Simpson If Data are normal –use ANOVA Otherwise – use Kruskal-Wallis
