PY - 2017 T2 - Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Practice, 3e AB - As knowledge and clinical theory have developed, clinical researchers have proposed more complex research questions, necessitating the use of elaborate multilevel and multifactor experimental designs. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a powerful analytic tool for analyzing such designs, where three or more conditions or groups are compared. The analysis of variance is used to determine if the observed differences among a set of means are greater than would be expected by chance alone. The ANOVA is based on the F statistic, which is similar to t in that it is a ratio of between-groups treatment effects to within-group variability. The test can be applied to independent groups or repeated measures designs.∗ SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1138252176 ER -
