Question
In ANOVA, error variance is computed by considering
The correct answer is
Within group
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to test differences between two or more means. It works by partitioning the total variability observed in the data into different sources.
Understanding ANOVA Variance Components
In ANOVA, the total variation (Total Sum of Squares, SST) is typically broken down into two main components:
- Between Group Variance (SSB): This measures the variability between the sample means of the different groups being compared.
- Within Group Variance (SSW): This measures the variability of the scores within each individual group, pooled together. It represents the error or random variation that is not explained by the group differences.
Computing ANOVA Error Variance
The error variance in ANOVA is essentially an estimate of the population variance based on the variability observed *within* each of the groups. It is calculated using the Within Group Sum of Squares (SSW) and the appropriate degrees of freedom.
Therefore, error variance is computed by considering the variation Within group.
