Sample Size Matters

Homogeneity of Variances

[{"selector":"#anim-f782b2e1-fa83-4379-9727-399e80b87878 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.0302869668521453e-13%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Similar variances across groups ensure homoscedasticity in ANOVA.

The Role of Post Hoc

[{"selector":"#anim-3b5bdd05-5759-4b21-90c0-f88887ad8662 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.0302869668521453e-13%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Post hoc tests reveal specific group differences after a significant ANOVA.

Common ANOVA Pitfalls
