AOV (Analysis of Variance)

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to compare the differences among two or more groups to see if they are significantly different from each other. It does this by analyzing the variation within groups and between groups. If the variation between groups is much larger than within groups, ANOVA suggests that at least one group mean differs from the others. It helps determine whether any observed differences are likely due to real effects or just random chance, making it a valuable tool for testing hypotheses in experiments and research.
