MANE 6313
Week 4, Module D
Student Learning Outcome
Analyze simple comparative experiments and experiments with a single factor.
Module Learning Outcome
Assess the assumption of equal variances in one-way analysis of variance.
Resources for the Week 4, Module D micro-lecture are:
Bartlett's Test
\[
\begin{aligned}
H_0&:&\sigma_1^2=\sigma_2^2=\cdots= \sigma_a^2\\
H_1&:&\mbox{above not true for at least one }\sigma_i^2\end{aligned}
\]
- TS:\(\chi^2_0=2.3026\frac{q}{c}\) where
\[
\begin{aligned}
q&=&(N-a)\log_{10}S^2_p-\sum_{i=1}^a(n_i-1)\log_{10}S^2_i\\
c&=&1+\frac{1}{3(a-1)}\left(\sum_{i=1}^a(n_i-1)^{-1}-(N-a)^{-1}\right)\\
S^2_p&=&\frac{\sum_{i=1}^a(n_i-1)S^2_i}{N-1}
\end{aligned}
\]
-
Reject \(H_0\) if \(\chi^2_0>\chi^2_{\alpha,a-1}\)
-
Very sensitive to normality assumption
