One-Way ANOVA - RESISTENCIA by TECNICA

Analysis Summary Dependent variable: RESISTENCIA Factor: TECNICA Number of observations: 16 Number of levels: 4 The StatAdvisor --------------This procedure performs a one-way analysis of variance for RESISTENCIA. It constructs various tests and graphs to compare the mean values of RESISTENCIA for the 4 different levels of TECNICA. The F-test in the ANOVA table will test whether there are any significant differences amongst the means. If there are, the Multiple Range Tests will tell you which means are significantly different from which others. If you are worried about the presence of outliers, choose the Kruskal-Wallis Test which compares medians instead of means. The various plots will help you judge the practical significance of the results, as well as allow you to look for possible violations of the assumptions underlying the analysis of variance.

The F-ratio, which in this case equals 12.7281, is a ratio of the between-group estimate to the within-group estimate. Since the

P-value of the F-test is less than 0.05, there is a statistically significant difference between the mean RESISTENCIA from one level of TECNICA to another at the 95.0% confidence level. To determine which means are significantly different from which others, select Multiple Range Tests from the list of Tabular Options.

The StatAdvisor --------------This table applies a multiple comparison procedure to determine which means are significantly different from which others. The bottom half of the output shows the estimated difference between each pair of means. An asterisk has been placed next to 5 pairs, indicating that these pairs show statistically significant differences at the 95.0% confidence level. At the top of the page, 3 homogenous groups are identified using columns of X's. Within each column, the levels containing X's form a group of means within which there are no statistically significant differences. The method currently being used to discriminate among the means is Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) procedure. With this method, there is a 5.0% risk of

calling each pair of means significantly different when the actual difference equals 0.
