Enter two or more group means, standard deviations and sizes to compute between-group and within-group sums of squares, the F value and p value for one-way analysis of variance.
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| F statistic | F = MSB ÷ MSW with df1 = k−1, df2 = N−k | Fisher 1925, Statistical Methods for Research Workers |
| Sum-of-squares decomposition | SST = SSB + SSW; divide by df to get MS | Basic ANOVA identity |
| Equal-variance assumption | Variances should be similar (ratio <4:1 acceptable); else use Welch ANOVA | Welch 1951, Biometrika |
| Post-hoc tests | After significant F, use Tukey HSD or Bonferroni to control family-wise error | Tukey 1949, Biometrics |
