This document discusses Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), a statistical technique used to analyze the differences between group means and their associated procedures. It can separate observed variance into components, allowing for additional tests. ANOVA requires assumptions of normality, equal variances, and random sampling. It calculates sums of squares, mean squares, and uses the F-value and p-value to determine if group means are significantly different. Checks of the model adequacy, like R-squared values, should also be considered before interpreting the ANOVA results.
