Note that the results shown in Figure 4 agree with those in Figure 1 except that the p-value is slightly lower. Now fill in the dialog box that appears as shown in Figure 3.įigure 3 – Dialog box for Welch’s data analysis toolįigure 4 – Welch’s test data analysis tool
Real Statistics Data Analysis Tool: The Real Statistics Resource Pack provides access to Welch’s test via the One Factor Anova data analysis tool, as described in the following example.Įxample 2: Repeat Example 1 using the Real Statistics data analysis tool.Įnter Ctrl-m and double click on Analysis of Variance, and select Anova: one factor on the dialog box that appears.
The main difference is that this function uses the Real Statistics F_DIST function instead of the Excel function F.DIST (or FDIST) to calculate the p-value and so obtains a more accurate result. If lab = TRUE a column of labels is added to the output, while if lab = FALSE (default) no labels are added.įor Example 1, the result of WELCH_TEST(E20:G29,TRUE) is similar to range D40:E43 of Figure 1. WELCH_TEST(R1, lab): outputs a column range with the values F, df1, df2 and p-value for Welch’s test for the data in range R1. Real Statistics Function: The Real Statistics Resource Pack contains the following array function where R1 is the data without headings, organized by columns: We employ Welch’s test instead, as shown in Figure 1. Thus the normal one-way ANOVA is not the correct test to use. This is confirmed by using Levene’s test (on the medians) since Levene(E20:G29,1) = 0.005478. We see from row 33 of Figure 1 that the variances of the three groups are 16.2, 86.5 and 265.6, and so we suspect there is a significant difference between the variances. When the homogeneity of variances assumption is not met, especially with unequal sample sizes, Welch’s Test is a good approach for performing an ANOVA analysis.Įxample 1: Repeat Example 1 of Kruskal-Wallis using the data in range E19:G29 of Figure 1 by performing Welch’s Test.
