One and two-way Analysis of Variance
See Also
This menu allows one and two-way designs (in randomized blocks) to be analysed using Analysis of Variance. It automatically determines the type of design and uses the appropriate method to analyse that design. The menu can be used to analyse randomized complete block designs with one or two treatment factors, or unbalanced two-way treatment structures with or without blocking, or designs with a single treatment factor whose levels are allocated unevenly across the blocks. Any units with missing values are excluded from the analysis.

Design

Specifies the type of design that is to be analysed. You can choose to analyse either a one-way or two-way design. When a design is selected the menu is customized for that particular design.

Y-Variate

This should be set to the variate containing the data values.

Treatments

For a one-way analysis of variance this should be set to the factor which specifies the treatments for each unit. For a two-way analysis of variance this should specify the first treatment factor.

Treatment 2

For a two-way analysis of variance this should specify the second treatment factor.

Blocks

Select this for a design within randomized blocks. When selected specify the factor defining the blocks in the space provided.

Interactions

For a two-way analysis this controls whether to include the interaction between Treatment 1 and Treatment 2, or to just include the main effects. Select this option if you want to include the interaction.

Available Data

This lists data structures appropriate to the current input field. It lists either factors for use in specifying the treatments and blocks, or variates for specifying the data and additional covariates. The contents will change as you move from one field to the next. Double-click on a name to copy it to the current input field; alternatively, you can type the name directly into the input field.
