hello this video will go through a quick tour to learn the difference between a nova and Cova maneuver and man Cova the core component in all analysis addressed in this video is anova the analysis of variance ANOVA test three or more groups for mean differences of the dependent variable that has to be a continuous variable in the following slides we address two main types of ANOVA one-way and two-way ANOVA the one-way ANOVA compares levels or groups of a single factor two way ANOVA compares levels of two or more factors remember both types has a single continuous response variable as we see in one-way ANOVA there is a single independent factor with single continuous response variable remember the independent variable is a factor and the factor is a categorical variable that contains three or more levels in two-way and over there are two independent factors with a single continuous response variable let's move now to uncover here the C stands for covariance like ANOVA and Cova has single continuous response variable but unlike a nova and Cova compares the response variable by both a factor and the continuous independent variable the continuous independent variable used in an Kova is called the covariate as we see in this and Cova example we have two independent variables an independent factor which is a categorical variable and the continuous covariant again there is a single continuous response variable it is to be noted that if we remove the factors from the mix the result will be a regression now let's move to manova manova is an anova with two or more continuous response variables here the M stands for multivariate and like anova manova has both a one-way and two-way types in this example we see a one way manova that compares to continuous response variables namely test score and income by a single factor variable which is a categorical study period in this example we see a two way manova that compares to continuous response variables namely test score and income by two factored variables which are the categorical study period and level of anxiety now we reach the final station in our quick tour the monk over both maneuver and monk over has two or more response variables this is a previously discussed manova example however adding a covariate to the mix converse manova into man Cova thank you
