What is the difference between a one-way Anova and a two-way ANOVA?

A one-way ANOVA only involves one factor or independent variable, whereas there are two independent variables in a two-way ANOVA. In a one-way ANOVA, the one factor or independent variable analyzed has three or more categorical groups. A two-way ANOVA instead compares multiple groups of two factors.

What happens if one of the assumptions for ANOVA is violated?

If the populations from which data to be analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were sampled violate one or more of the one-way ANOVA test assumptions, the results of the analysis may be incorrect or misleading. A nonparametric test or employing a transformation may result in a more powerful test.

Does data need to be normal for ANOVA?

ANOVA is a parametric test based on the assumption that the data follows normal. hence it is necessary to test the normality. if the data does not follow normal distribution then we can opt for non-parametric tests like Kruskkal – Wallis test.

When to use two way ANOVA?

ANOVA tests are used to determine whether you have significant results from tests (or surveys). A two way ANOVA with replication is performed when you have two groups and individuals within that group are doing more than one thing (i.e. taking two tests). If you only have one group, use a two way ANOVA in Excel without replication.

When to use ANOVA test?

The Anova test is the popular term for the Analysis of Variance. It is a technique performed in analyzing categorical factors effects. This test is used whenever there are more than two groups. They are basically like T-tests too, but, as mentioned above, they are to be used when you have more than two groups.

What are the assumptions for one way ANOVA?

Assumptions. The results of a one-way ANOVA can be considered reliable as long as the following assumptions are met: Response variable residuals are normally distributed (or approximately normally distributed). Variances of populations are equal.
