Questions on block designs and the material in Chapter 6?
Two-way ANOVA (Sec 7.1R, Sec7.2R, and Sec 7.3R)
- Hypothetical Exeperiment
- Is student performance in the introductory statistics course affected by the teaching method and/or the particular instructor teaching the course?
- Model
- Interaction
- Profile plots (See handout and make decisions on effects)
- Plot of the cell means against the levels of Factor A and follow (profile) the levels of Factor B
- Plot of the cell means against the levels of Factor B and follow (profile) the levels of Factor A
- Hypotheses
- Sum of Squares Identity
- SSTO = SSA + SSB + SSAB + SSE

- F-distributions: percentiles and p-value can be obtained from statistical software
- Assumptions
- Normality
- Independence
- Equal standard deviations
- Residual plots for checking assumptions
- Residual = observation minus estimated mean
- Plot residuals against predicted values (treatment means) and other available variables
- Construct a normal probability plot for the residuals
- Multiple comparisons can be used to identify significant differences in the treatments
