public class AnalysisOfVarianceOneWay
extends AbstractCloneableSerializable
implements BlockExperimentComparison<Number>

Analysis of Variance single-factor null-hypothesis testing procedure, usually called "1-way ANOVA". ANOVA evaluates the probability of the null hypothesis for a Collection of treatment cases. Each "treatment" is an experiment with a Collection of results from a given population. You can have different population sizes in each treatment. The null hypothesis is that there are no differences between the populations and that observed differences are due to chance.
