MANE 6313

Week 4, Module C

Student Learning Outcome

Analyze simple comparative experiments and experiments with a single factor.

Module Learning Outcome

Justify model assumptions incorporated in One-Way Analysis of Variance.

Resources for the Week 4, Module C micro-lecture are:


Model Adequacy Testing

  • Normality

    • Most often checked with normal probability plots of residuals

    • Will detect non-normality and outliers

  • Residual Analysis

    • Plot of residuals in time sequence

      • Will detect correlation between residuals and also process drift
    • Plot of residuals versus fitted values

      • Will detect non-constant variance
    • Plot of residuals versus factors

      • Will detect non-constant variance

Mortar Example Problem

residual plots for mortar data


Standardized Residuals

  • Interpretation is easier if the residuals are standardized

Minitab Demonstration

  • Calculation and storage of residuals
  • Construction of residual plots
  • Construction of normal probability plot
