Factorial anova
To compare the means in multiple groups defined by multiple categorical predictors (i.e. factors), factorial analysis of variance can be used. In this example, a dataset/dataframe called dat
contains categorical variables groupingVariable
and dichotomousVariable
and a continuous variable dependentVariable
.
SPSS
UNIANOVA dependentVariable BY groupingVariable dichotomousVariable
/PLOT = PROFILE(groupingVariable * dichotomousVariable)
/DESIGN = groupingVariable D groupingVariable * dichotomousVariable.
R
fanova(dat,
y = 'dependentVariable',
between = c('groupingVariable',
'dichotomousVariable'),
plot=TRUE)
