| Formulas for 1-way ANOVA hand calculations | Although computer programs that do ANOVA calculations now are common, for reference purposes this page describes how to calculate the various entries in an ANOVA table. Remember, the goal is to produce two variances (of treatments and error) and their ratio. The various computational formulas will be shown and applied to the data from the previous example. | ||
| Step 1: compute CM | STEP 1 Compute
CM, the correction for the mean.
|
||
| Step 2: compute total SS | STEP 2 Compute
the total SS.
The total SS = sum of squares of all observations - CM ![]() The 829.390 SS is called the "raw" or "uncorrected " sum of squares. |
||
| Step 3: compute SST | STEP 3 Compute
SST, the treatment sum of squares.
First we compute the total (sum) for each treatment.
T2 = (8.3) + (6.8) + ... + (6.5) = 38.6 T1 = (8.0) + (10.5) + ... + (9.3) = 42.8 ![]() |
||
| Step 4: compute SSE | STEP 4 Compute
SSE, the error sum of squares.
Here we utilize the property that the treatment sum of squares plus the error sum of squares equals the total sum of squares. Hence, SSE = SS Total - SST = 45.349 - 27.897 = 17.45. |
||
| Step 5: Compute MST, MSE, and F | STEP 5 Compute
MST, MSE and their ratio, F.
MST is the mean square of treatments, MSE is the mean square of error
(MSE is also frequently denoted by
MSE = SSE / (N-k) = 17.452/ 12 = 1.454
