Description
Homogeneity of Variance
Test
specifies the type of test to perform. Here are the valid values:
None
specifies that no test is performed.
Bartlett
computes accurate Type I error rates when the distribution of the data is normal.
Test (continued)
Brown & Forsythe
is a variation of Levene's test. Equal variances are determined by using the absolute deviations from the group medians. Although this is a good test for determining variance differences, it can be resource intensive if your data contains several large groups.
Levene
computes the squared residuals to determine equal variance. Levene’s test is considered to be the standard homogeneity of variance test. This is the default.
O’Brien
specifies O’Brien’s test, which is a modification of Levene’s test that uses squared residuals.
Welch’s variance-weighted ANOVA
tests the group means by using a weighted variance. You can use this test if the assumption of equal variances is rejected.
Comparisons
You can select from these comparison methods:
Bonferroni
performs Bonferroni t tests of differences between means for all means of the main effect.
Duncan multiple range
performs Duncan’s multiple range test on all means of the main effect.
Dunnett two-tail
performs Dunnett’s two-tailed t test, testing whether any treatments are significantly different from a single control for all main-effect means.
Dunnett lower one-tail
performs Dunnett’s one-tailed t test, testing whether any treatment is significantly less than the control.
Dunnett upper one-tail
performs Dunnett’s one-tailed t test, testing whether any treatment is significantly greater than the control.
Gabriel
performs Gabriel’s multiple-comparison procedure on all means of the main effect.
Nelson
analyzes all the differences with the least squares means.
Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch
performs the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch multiple range test on all means of the main effect.
Scheffé
performs Scheffé’s multiple-comparison procedure on all means of the main effect.
Sidak
performs pairwise t tests on differences between means with levels adjusted according to Sidak’s inequality for all means of the main effect.
Student-Newman-Keuls
performs the Student-Newman-Keuls multiple range test on all main effect means.
Least significant difference (LSD)
performs pairwise t tests for all means of the main effect. In the case of equal cell sizes, this test is equivalent to Fisher’s least significant difference test.
Tukey
performs Tukey’s studentized range test (HSD) on all means of the main effect. When the group sizes are different, this is the Tukey-Kramer test.
You can also specify the level of significance for the selected test.
Plots
By default, the results include a box plot, a means plot, and a least squares mean difference plot. You can also specify to include any diagnostic plots, which can be displayed in a panel or as individual plots.
You can also specify the maximum number of points to include in these plots.
