two-way ANOVA

Two-way ANOVA is a statistical method used to examine how two different factors (or variables) influence a particular outcome, and whether those factors interact with each other. For example, it might analyze how both the type of treatment and age group affect recovery rates. It helps determine if each factor independently affects the result, and if their combined effect is different than expected. This process allows researchers to understand complex relationships in data, identifying which variables are significant and how they work together, leading to more informed conclusions about the influences on the outcome.
