Title: Re: two way anova using minitab Post by: metal_zelda on Mar 2, 2015 I'm assuming that you don't need to test for normality, homogeneity, and things of that nature. In the world of ANOVA, the dependent variable is called the variable of interest and independent variable(s) are called factors.
In this case, the variable of interest is the winter survival percentage. In two way ANOVA, we have two factors; in this case, they are taxa and year. That is to say, we want to know whether or not winter survival percentage varies according to taxa and year. Looking at the data, it looks like we have six samples. I've never used minitab, but generally you set up a multi variable table, so year might be row and taxa might be column, then you enter the collected data (% survival). You might have to separate the 6 values of % survival with commas or by hitting enter or something like that. |
