Model Assumptions (11.1.6)
The ANOVA for a one-factor layout is based on
the assumption that
– The observations are independent and have normal distribution with the same variance.
Independence is ensured by randomization of
experimental units between the k factor levels.
Normality: ANOVA F test is robust as long as
distributions are not extremely different from a normal distribution particularly for large p y g samples.
Homogeneity of variance computed from
sample variances
– If variances are much different, make pairwise comparisons (using the general procedure from Chapter 9) between the k factor levels, one pair at a time, and use a small CI (90%).
