Exploring ANOVAs in R

Course description

This course explores the use of ANOVAs in R.

SEE AVAILABLE DATES & ENROL BELOW

This half-day course covers one-way Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) and their non-parametric counterparts in R. 

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical method used to determine whether there are significant differences between the means of three or more groups. It helps analyse the effect of independent variables on a dependent variable by comparing the variance within groups to the variance between groups. ANOVA tests assume normality, homogeneity of variances, and independence of observations, and can be used to explore relationships in datasets, such as how factors like study time or parental education affect student performance.

Learning Outcomes:

• Basic statistical theory behind ANOVAs
• How to check that the data meets the assumptions
• One-way ANOVA in R and post-hoc analysis
• Two-way ANOVA plus interaction effects and post-hoc analysis
• Non-parametric alternatives to one and two-way ANOVA.
