Two-way Analysis of Variance
The following hypothetical example gives the yields of 15 plants subject to two different environmental variations, and three different fertilisers.
Extra CO2 | Extra humidity | |
---|---|---|
No fertiliser | 7, 2, 1 | 7, 6 |
Nitrate | 11, 6 | 10, 7, 3 |
Phosphate | 5, 3, 4 | 11, 4 |
Five sums of squares are calculated:
Factor | Calculation | Sum | |
---|---|---|---|
Individual | 641 | 15 | |
Fertiliser × Environment | 556.1667 | 6 | |
Fertiliser | 525.4 | 3 | |
Environment | 519.2679 | 2 | |
Composite | 504.6 | 1 |
Finally, the sums of squared deviations required for the analysis of variance can be calculated.
Factor | Sum | Total | Environment | Fertiliser | Fertiliser × Environment | Residual | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Individual | 641 | 15 | 1 | 1 | |||
Fertiliser × Environment | 556.1667 | 6 | 1 | −1 | |||
Fertiliser | 525.4 | 3 | 1 | −1 | |||
Environment | 519.2679 | 2 | 1 | −1 | |||
Composite | 504.6 | 1 | −1 | −1 | −1 | 1 | |
Squared deviations | 136.4 | 14.668 | 20.8 | 16.099 | 84.833 | ||
Degrees of freedom | 14 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 9 |

Famous quotes containing the words two-way, analysis and/or variance:
“Think of the childs question as the start of a two-way conversation rather than a question-and-answer session. Sometimes it may be necessary to learn what children think about the subject and what misconceptions they may have before providing an answer.”
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“There is an untroubled harmony in everything, a full consonance in nature; only in our illusory freedom do we feel at variance with it.”
—Fyodor Tyutchev (18031873)
