This document provides an introduction to analysis of variance (ANOVA). It defines key terms like factors, levels, and independent/quasi-independent variables. It explains the advantages of ANOVA over t-tests in comparing more than two treatment conditions. Examples are given of one-way ANOVA to compare a single factor with repeated measures and independent measures designs. Two-way ANOVA is introduced for studying the interaction between two factors. Mauchly's test and the assumption of sphericity are also discussed.
