Two-Way ANOVA：双向方差分析.ppt

Two-Way ANOVA Two-way Analysis of Variance Two-way ANOVA is applied to a situation in which you have two independent nominal-level variables and one interval or better dependent variable Each of the independent variables may have any number of levels or conditions (e.g., Treatment 1, Treatment 2, Treatment 3…… No Treatment) In a two-way ANOVA you will obtain 3 F ratios One of these will tell you if your first independent variable has a significant main effect on the DV A second will tell you if your second independent variable has a significant main effect on the DV The third will tell you if the interaction of the two independent variables has a significant effect on the DV, that is, if the impact of one IV depends on the level of the other The Three Effects in a Two-Way ANOVA Let’s consider an example: What is the impact of gender, ethnicity, and their interaction on annual income? One of these will tell you if your first independent variable has a significant main effect on the DV What is the main effect of gender on income, regardless of (across all levels of) ethnicity? A second will tell you if your second independent variable has a significant main effect on the DV What is the main effect of ethnicity on income, regardless of (across all levels of) gender The third will tell you if the interaction of the two independent variables has a significant effect on the DV What is the combined effect of gender and ethnicity on income that could not be detected by considering the two IVs separately? (e.g., what is the interaction of gender and ethnicity with respect to income; is the effect of gender different for different categories of ethnicity? The Null Hypotheses in a Two-Way ANOVA The null hypotheses in a two-way ANOVA are these: The population means for the DV are equal across levels of the first factor The population means for the DV are equal across levels of the second factor The effects of the first and second factors on the DV are independent of one ano
