Introduction to Analysis of Variance provides a practical and accessible guide to collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data using five different kinds of ANOVA techniques. Rick Turner and Julian Thayer take the reader from the simplest type of design to more complex types. They: explain which design/analysis is appropriate to answer specific questions. show how to design an experiment in the best possible way to investigate the topic of interest; demonstrate how to conduct the analysis and then fully interpret the results in the context of the research question; show how to perform each analysis using only a calculator to provide the reader with a better "feel" for the analyses than simply seeing the mathematical answers on a computer print-out; describe how to use the knowledge gained from the text to determine the credibility of claims made and "statistics" presented in various types of reports; include key concept boxes, summary sections, and exercises; offer tips for tests on ANOVA;
