Test for Homogeneity01:23

Test for Homogeneity

2.1K
The goodness–of–fit test can be used to decide whether a population fits a given distribution, but it will not suffice to decide whether two populations follow the same unknown distribution. A different test, called the test for homogeneity, can be used to conclude whether two populations have the same distribution. To calculate the test statistic for a test for homogeneity, follow the same procedure as with the test of independence. The hypotheses for the test for homogeneity can...

One-Way ANOVA: Unequal Sample Sizes01:15

One-Way ANOVA: Unequal Sample Sizes

5.9K
One-way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples of unequal sizes. However, calculations get complicated when sample sizes are not always the same. So, while performing ANOVA with unequal samples size, the following equation is used:

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes

3.4K
One-Way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples with equal or unequal sample sizes. When one-way ANOVA is performed on two datasets with samples of equal sizes, it can be easily observed that the computed F statistic is highly sensitive to the sample mean.
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...

One-Way ANOVA01:18

One-Way ANOVA

8.1K
One-way ANOVA analyzes more than three samples categorized by one factor. For example, it can compare the average mileage of sports bikes. Here, the data is categorized by one factor - the company. However, one-way ANOVA cannot be used to simultaneously compare the sample mean of three or more samples categorized by two factors. An example of two factors would be sports bikes from different companies driven in different terrains, such as a desert or snowy landscape. Here, two-way ANOVA is used...

Kruskal-Wallis Test01:19

Kruskal-Wallis Test

923
The Kruskal-Wallis test, also known as the Kruskal-Wallis H test, serves as a nonparametric alternative to the one-way ANOVA, offering a solution for analyzing the differences across three or more independent groups based on a single, ordinal-dependent variable. This statistical test is particularly valuable in scenarios where the data does not meet the normal distribution assumption required by its parametric counterparts. Kruskal-Wallis test is designed typically to handle ordinal data or...

Introduction to Test of Independence01:21

Introduction to Test of Independence

2.4K
In statistics, the term independence means that one can directly obtain the probability of any event involving both variables by multiplying their individual probabilities. Tests of independence are chi-square tests involving the use of a contingency table of observed (data) values.
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:
