1. Analysis of Variance

2. v Single classification analysis of variance determines whether a relationship exists between a dependent variable and several classifications of one independent variable. v Multiple classification analysis of variance determines the relationship between one dependent variable and classifications of two or more independent variables.

3. v Since the variance (or its square root, the standard deviation) is an average distance of the raw scores from the mean of that distribution, this functional relationship can be used to determine mean differences by analyzing variances. Analysis of Variance

5. Within Group Variation

8. Total Variation

11. Among Group Variation

12. Degrees of Freedom v Among group degrees of freedom equals number of groups minus one (k-1) v Within group degrees of freedom equals the number of groups times the number within each group minus one k(N-1) v Total group degrees of freedom equals the total number of subjects minus one (kN-1) OR Degrees of freedom among plus the degrees of freedom within
