A Statistical Tool:Analysis of Covariance. Volume I. A Presentation and Application of the Analysis of Covariance.

摘要

Volume I serves as an introduction to Volumes II and III for those who are not familiar with analysis of covariance. Volume I gives the purpose and uses of analysis of covariance, develops the theory for the univariate cases, expands the theory to the multivariate case, shows how unequal sample size affects the methodology, and how analysis of covariance is used as a tool for evaluating data containing missing observations on the response variable. Section V shows how analysis of covariance may be applied to nonparametric data. Examples depicting each situation are given.
