    Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique that compares the means of two or more groups to determine if the means are significantly different from each other. It has assumptions of equal variances between groups, independent and normally distributed samples. The F-ratio compares the variance between groups to the variance within groups, with a larger F-ratio indicating group means are likely different. Post-hoc tests are then used to determine specifically which group means differ.

    ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

    A procedure that tests to determine whether significant difference exists between two or more population means. Assumptions in Analysis of Variance: The variances are all equal. *Bartletts test is applied to determine if variances are all equal. The samples are independent and are from normally distributed data. *If the samples are dependent, use Friedmans Test. *Use Kruskal-Wallis for independent samples drawn from non-normally distributed data.

    Post-hoc analysis must be applied to determine which population means have significant differences. EXAMPLES: 1. A researcher wants to determine at 1% significance level if the calls of postpaid subscribers differ according to its service provider. The data (in minutes) are as follows for the 5 randomly selected samples of each network: GLOBE 3 5 12 8 6 Average Variance SMART 9 2 5 6 10 SUN 11 10 4 3 5
