One-Way ANOVA: Comparing Group Means
Formula
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests whether there are statistically significant differences between the means of three or more groups. It partitions the total variability into between-group and within-group components.
If the F-statistic is large enough (exceeding the critical value), at least one group mean is significantly different. Post-hoc tests like Tukey's HSD can then identify which specific groups differ.
Common use cases:
- Comparing treatment effects in experiments
- Testing product variations
- Educational intervention comparisons
