CR design - Ex. 8.29 (p. 444) a) stack data Data > Stack > Stack Columns... Stack the following columns: Group-I Group-II Group-III Group-IV Choose "Column of current worksheet:" C5 Store subscripts in: C6 Click OK You may rename C5 as discoloration and C6 as group (or treatment) b) Boxplots by trt Stat > Basic Statistics > Display Descriptive Statistics... Variables: discoloration Check "By variable:" group Click on Graphs... Check Boxplot of data Click OK twice c) ANOVA Stat > ANOVA > One-way... Response: discoloration Factor: group You can check "Store residuals" and "Store fits" to have the residuals and fitted values stored in the worksheet You can also click the "Graphs..." button to have the residual plots (normal probability plot (NPP) of residuals, scatter plot of residuals vs. fitted values, etc.) d) checking assumptions The main assumptions to check are the normality and equal variance assumptions. Use the NPP of residuals to check the normality assumption. Use the boxplots by trt and the standard deviations by trt to check the equal variance assumption. If you want a formal test, use Stat > ANOVA > Test for Equal Variances...
