6 Fit Y by X: Comparing Two Variables

Tab le 6. 6 Description of the Analysis of Variance Report

Source The three sources of variation: Model, Error, and C. Total.

DF The degrees of freedom (DF) for each source of variation:

• A degree of freedom is subtracted from the total number of non missing values

(N) for each parameter estimate used in the computation. The computation of

the total sample variation uses an estimate of the mean. Therefore, one degree of

freedom is subtracted from the total, leaving 39. The total corrected degrees of

freedom are partitioned into the

Model and Err ...
