The two-way ANOVA (evaluation of variance) is a statistical methodology that permits to consider the simultaneous impact of two categorical variables on a quantitative continuous variable.
The 2-way ANOVA is an extension of the one-way ANOVA because it permits to guage the consequences on a numerical response of two categorical variables as a substitute of 1. The benefit of a two-way ANOVA over a one-way ANOVA is that we check the connection between two variables, whereas considering the impact of a 3rd variable. Furthermore, it additionally permits to incorporate the potential interplay of the 2 categorical variables on the response.
The benefit of a two-way over a one-way ANOVA is sort of just like the benefit of a correlation over a multiple linear regression:
- The correlation measures the connection between two quantitative variables. The a number of linear regression additionally measures the connection between two variables, however this time considering the potential impact of different covariates.
- The one-way ANOVA exams whether or not a quantitative variable is totally different between teams. The 2-way ANOVA additionally exams whether or not a quantitative variable is totally different between teams, however this time considering the impact of one other qualitative variable.
Beforehand, now we have mentioned about one-way ANOVA in R. Now, we present when, why, and methods to carry out a two-way ANOVA in R.
Earlier than going additional, I wish to point out and briefly describe some associated statistical strategies and exams to be able to keep away from any confusion:
A Student’s t-test is used to guage the impact of 1 categorical variable on a quantitative steady variable, when the specific variable has precisely 2 ranges:
- Pupil’s t-test for unbiased samples if the observations are unbiased (for instance: if we evaluate the age between ladies and men)
- Pupil’s t-test for paired samples if the observations are dependent, that’s, once they are available pairs (it’s the case when the identical topics are measured twice, at two totally different time limits, earlier than and after a therapy for instance)
To guage the impact of 1 categorical variable on a quantitative variable, when the specific variable has 3 or extra ranges:1
- one-way ANOVA (typically merely referred as ANOVA) if the teams are unbiased (for instance a bunch of sufferers who obtained therapy A, one other group of sufferers who obtained therapy B, and the final group of sufferers who obtained no therapy or a placebo)
- repeated measures ANOVA if the teams are dependent (when the identical topics are measured 3 times, at three totally different time limits, earlier than, throughout and after a therapy for instance)
A two-way ANOVA is used to guage the consequences of two categorical variables (and their potential interplay) on a quantitative steady variable. That is the subject of the submit.
Linear regression is used to guage the connection between a quantitative steady dependent variable and one or a number of unbiased variables:
- easy linear regression if there is just one unbiased variable (which could be quantitative or qualitative)
- a number of linear regression if there may be a minimum of two unbiased variables (which could be quantitative, qualitative, or a mixture of each)
An ANCOVA (evaluation of covariance) is used to guage the impact of a categorical variable on a quantitative variable, whereas controlling for the impact of one other quantitative variable (generally known as covariate). ANCOVA is definitely a particular case of a number of linear regression with a mixture of one qualitative and one quantitative unbiased variable.
On this submit, we begin by explaining when and why a two-way ANOVA is beneficial, we then do some preliminary descriptive analyses and current methods to conduct a two-way ANOVA in R. Lastly, we present methods to interpret and visualize the outcomes. We additionally briefly point out and illustrate methods to confirm the underlying assumptions.
As an example methods to carry out a two-way ANOVA in R, we use the penguins dataset, obtainable from the {palmerpenguins} bundle.
We don’t have to import the dataset, however we have to load the package first after which name the dataset:
# set up.packages("palmerpenguins")
library(palmerpenguins)
dat <- penguins # rename dataset
str(dat) # construction of dataset

On this submit, we are going to deal with the next three variables:
species: the species of the penguin (Adelie, Chinstrap or Gentoo)intercourse: intercourse of the penguin (feminine and male)body_mass_g: physique mass of the penguin (in grams)
If wanted, extra details about this dataset could be discovered by operating ?penguins in R.
body_mass_g is the quantitative steady variable and would be the dependent variable, whereas species and intercourse are each qualitative variables.
These two final variables shall be our unbiased variables, additionally referred as components. Be sure that they’re learn as factors by R. If it’s not the case, they’ll have to be transformed to factors.
As talked about above, a two-way ANOVA is used to consider concurrently the impact of two categorical variables on one quantitative steady variable.
It’s referred as two-way ANOVA as a result of we’re evaluating teams that are fashioned by two unbiased categorical variables.
Right here, we wish to know if physique mass is dependent upon species and/or intercourse. Particularly, we’re excited by:
- measuring and testing the connection between species and physique mass,
- measuring and testing the connection between intercourse and physique mass, and
- probably examine whether or not the connection between species and physique mass is totally different for females and males (which is equal than checking whether or not the connection between intercourse and physique mass is dependent upon the species)
The primary two relationships are referred as essential results, whereas the third level is called the interplay impact.
The primary results check whether or not a minimum of one group is totally different from one other one (whereas controlling for the opposite unbiased variable). Then again, the interplay impact goals at testing whether or not the connection between two variables differs relying on the extent of a 3rd variable.
When performing a two-way ANOVA, testing the interplay impact shouldn’t be necessary. Nonetheless, omitting an interplay impact might result in inaccurate conclusions if the interplay impact is current.
If we return to our instance, now we have the next hypothesis tests:
Important impact of intercourse on physique mass:
- H0: imply physique mass is equal between females and males
- H1: imply physique mass is totally different between females and males
Important impact of species on physique mass:
- H0: imply physique mass is equal between all 3 species
- H1: imply physique mass is totally different for a minimum of one species
Interplay between intercourse and species:
- H0: there isn’t a interplay between intercourse and species, that means that the connection between species and physique mass is similar for females and males (equally, the connection between intercourse and physique mass is similar for all 3 species)
- H1: there may be an interplay between intercourse and species, that means that the connection between species and physique mass is totally different for females than for males (equally, the connection between intercourse and physique mass is dependent upon the species)
Most statistical exams require some assumptions for the outcomes to be legitimate, and a two-way ANOVA shouldn’t be an exception.
Assumptions of a two-way ANOVA are comparable than for a one-way ANOVA. To summarize:
- Variable sort: the dependent variable should be quantitative steady, whereas the 2 unbiased variables should be categorical (with a minimum of two ranges).
- Independence: the observations needs to be unbiased between teams and inside every group.
- Normality:
- For small samples, information ought to comply with roughly a normal distribution
- For big samples (often n ≥ 30 in every group/pattern), normality shouldn’t be required (due to the central restrict theorem)
- Equality of variances: variances needs to be equal throughout teams.
- Outliers: There needs to be no vital outliers in any group.
Extra particulars about these assumptions could be discovered within the assumptions of a one-way ANOVA.
Now that now we have seen the underlying assumptions of the two-way ANOVA, we assessment them particularly for our dataset earlier than making use of the check and decoding the outcomes.
The dependent variable physique mass is quantitative continuous, whereas each unbiased variables intercourse and species are qualitative variables (with a minimum of 2 ranges).
Subsequently, this assumption is met.
Independence is often checked based mostly on the design of the experiment and the way information have been collected.
To maintain it easy, observations are often:
- unbiased if every experimental unit (right here a penguin) has been measured solely as soon as and the observations are collected from a consultant and randomly chosen portion of the inhabitants, or
- dependent if every experimental unit has been measured a minimum of twice (as it’s typically the case within the medical area for instance, with two measurements on the identical topics; one earlier than and one after the therapy).
In our case, physique mass has been measured solely as soon as on every penguin, and on a consultant and random pattern of the inhabitants, so the independence assumption is met.
We’ve got a big pattern in all subgroups (every mixture of the degrees of the 2 components, referred to as cell):
desk(dat$species, dat$intercourse)
##
## feminine male
## Adelie 73 73
## Chinstrap 34 34
## Gentoo 58 61
so normality doesn’t have to be checked.
For completeness, we nonetheless present methods to confirm normality, as if we had a small samples.
There are a number of strategies to check the normality assumption. The commonest strategies being:
- a QQ-plot by group or on the residuals, and/or
- a histogram by group or on the residuals, and/or
- a normality test (Shapiro-Wilk check as an illustration) by group or on the residuals.
The best/shortest approach is to confirm the normality with a QQ-plot on the residuals. To attract this plot, we first want to avoid wasting the mannequin:
# save mannequin
mod <- aov(body_mass_g ~ intercourse * species,
information = dat
)
This piece of code shall be defined additional.
Now we are able to draw the QQ-plot on the residuals. We present two methods to take action, first with the plot() perform and second with the qqPlot() perform from the {automobile} bundle:
# methodology 1
plot(mod, which = 2)
# methodology 2
library(automobile)
qqPlot(mod$residuals,
id = FALSE # take away level identification
)
Code for methodology 1 is barely shorter, however it misses the boldness interval across the reference line.
If factors comply with the straight line (referred to as Henry’s line) and fall inside the confidence band, we are able to assume normality. That is the case right here.
In the event you desire to confirm the normality based mostly on a histogram of the residuals, right here is the code:
# histogram
hist(mod$residuals)
The histogram of the residuals present a gaussian distribution, which is consistent with the conclusion from the QQ-plot.
Though the QQ-plot and histogram is basically sufficient to confirm the normality, if you wish to check it extra formally with a statistical check, the Shapiro-Wilk check could be utilized on the residuals as effectively:
# normality check
shapiro.check(mod$residuals)
##
## Shapiro-Wilk normality check
##
## information: mod$residuals
## W = 0.99776, p-value = 0.9367
⇒ We don’t reject the null speculation that the residuals comply with a standard distribution (p-value = 0.937).
From the QQ-plot, histogram and Shapiro-Wilk check, we conclude that we don’t reject the null speculation of normality of the residuals.
The normality assumption is thus verified, we are able to now examine the equality of the variances.2
Equality of variances, additionally referred as homogeneity of variances or homoscedasticity, could be verified visually with the plot() perform:
plot(mod, which = 3)
For the reason that unfold of the residuals is fixed, the purple easy line is horizontal and flat, so it appears to be like just like the fixed variance assumption is happy right here.
The diagnostic plot above is enough, however for those who desire it may also be examined extra formally with the Levene’s check (additionally from the {automobile} bundle):3
leveneTest(mod)
## Levene's Take a look at for Homogeneity of Variance (heart = median)
## Df F worth Pr(>F)
## group 5 1.3908 0.2272
## 327
⇒ We don’t reject the null speculation that the variances are equal (p-value = 0.227).
Each the visible and formal approaches give the identical conclusion; we don’t reject the speculation of homogeneity of the variances.
The best and commonest technique to detect outliers is visually due to boxplots by teams.
For females and males:
library(ggplot2)
# boxplots by intercourse
ggplot(dat) +
aes(x = intercourse, y = body_mass_g) +
geom_boxplot()
For the three species:
# boxplots by species
ggplot(dat) +
aes(x = species, y = body_mass_g) +
geom_boxplot()
There are, as outlined by the interquartile range criterion, two outliers for the species Chinstrap. These factors are, nonetheless, not excessive sufficient to bias outcomes.
Subsequently, we think about that the belief of no vital outliers is met.
We’ve got proven that each one assumptions are met, so we are able to now proceed to the implementation of the two-way ANOVA in R.
This can permit us to reply the next analysis questions:
- Controlling for the species, is physique mass considerably totally different between the 2 sexes?
- Controlling for the intercourse, is physique mass considerably totally different for a minimum of one species?
- Is the connection between species and physique mass totally different between feminine and male penguins?
Earlier than performing any statistical check, it’s a good follow to make some descriptive statistics to be able to have a primary overview of the info, and maybe, have a glimpse of the outcomes to be anticipated.
This may be accomplished by way of descriptive statistics or plots.
If we wish to maintain it easy, we are able to compute solely the imply for every subgroup:
# imply by group
mixture(body_mass_g ~ species + intercourse,
information = dat,
FUN = imply
)
## species intercourse body_mass_g
## 1 Adelie feminine 3368.836
## 2 Chinstrap feminine 3527.206
## 3 Gentoo feminine 4679.741
## 4 Adelie male 4043.493
## 5 Chinstrap male 3938.971
## 6 Gentoo male 5484.836
Or ultimately, the imply and standard deviation for every subgroup utilizing the {dplyr} bundle:
# imply and sd by group
library(dplyr)
group_by(dat, intercourse, species) %>%
summarise(
imply = spherical(imply(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE)),
sd = spherical(sd(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE))
)
## # A tibble: 8 × 4
## # Teams: intercourse [3]
## intercourse species imply sd
## <fct> <fct> <dbl> <dbl>
## 1 feminine Adelie 3369 269
## 2 feminine Chinstrap 3527 285
## 3 feminine Gentoo 4680 282
## 4 male Adelie 4043 347
## 5 male Chinstrap 3939 362
## 6 male Gentoo 5485 313
## 7 <NA> Adelie 3540 477
## 8 <NA> Gentoo 4588 338
In case you are a frequent reader of the weblog, you already know that I like to attract plots to visualise the info at hand earlier than decoding outcomes of a check.
Probably the most applicable plot when now we have one quantitative and two qualitative variables is a boxplot by group. This will simply be made with the {ggplot2} package:
# boxplot by group
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(dat) +
aes(x = species, y = body_mass_g, fill = intercourse) +
geom_boxplot()
Some observations are lacking for the intercourse, we are able to take away them to have a extra concise plot:
dat %>%
filter(!is.na(intercourse)) %>%
ggplot() +
aes(x = species, y = body_mass_g, fill = intercourse) +
geom_boxplot()
Word that we may even have made the next plot:
dat %>%
filter(!is.na(intercourse)) %>%
ggplot() +
aes(x = intercourse, y = body_mass_g, fill = species) +
geom_boxplot()
However for a extra readable plot, I are likely to desire placing the variable with the smallest variety of ranges as coloration (which is in truth the argument fill within the aes() layer) and the variable with the biggest variety of classes on the x-axis (i.e., the argument x within the aes() layer).
From the means and the boxplots by subgroup, we are able to already see that, in our pattern:
- feminine penguins are likely to have a decrease physique mass than males, and that’s the case for all of the thought of species, and
- physique mass is larger for Gentoo penguins than for the opposite two species.
Keep in mind that these conclusions are solely legitimate inside our sample! To generalize these conclusions to the population, we have to carry out the two-way ANOVA and examine the importance of the explanatory variables. That is the goal of the following part.
As talked about earlier, together with an interplay impact in a two-way ANOVA shouldn’t be obligatory. Nonetheless, to be able to keep away from flawed conclusions, it is suggested to first examine whether or not the interplay is important or not, and relying on the outcomes, embrace it or not.
If the interplay shouldn’t be vital, it’s protected to take away it from the ultimate mannequin. Quite the opposite, if the interplay is important, it needs to be included within the closing mannequin which shall be used to interpret outcomes.
We thus begin with a mannequin which incorporates the 2 essential results (i.e., intercourse and species) and the interplay:
# Two-way ANOVA with interplay
# save mannequin
mod <- aov(body_mass_g ~ intercourse * species,
information = dat
)
# print outcomes
abstract(mod)
## Df Sum Sq Imply Sq F worth Pr(>F)
## intercourse 1 38878897 38878897 406.145 < 2e-16 ***
## species 2 143401584 71700792 749.016 < 2e-16 ***
## intercourse:species 2 1676557 838278 8.757 0.000197 ***

## ---
## Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
## 11 observations deleted resulting from missingness
The sum of squares (column Sum Sq) reveals that the species clarify a big a part of the variability of physique mass. It’s crucial consider explaining this variability.
The p-values are displayed within the final column of the output above (Pr(>F)). From these p-values, we conclude that, on the 5% significance degree:
- controlling for the species, physique mass is considerably totally different between the 2 sexes,
- controlling for the intercourse, physique mass is considerably totally different for a minimum of one species, and
- the interplay between intercourse and species (displayed on the line
intercourse:specieswithin the output above) is important.
So from the numerous interplay impact, now we have simply seen that the connection between physique mass and species is totally different between women and men. Since it’s vital, now we have to maintain it within the mannequin and we must always interpret outcomes from that mannequin.
If, quite the opposite, the interplay was not vital (that’s, if the p-value ≥ 0.05) we’d have eliminated this interplay impact from the mannequin. For illustrative functions, under the code for a two-way ANOVA with out interplay, referred as an additive mannequin:
# Two-way ANOVA with out interplay
aov(body_mass_g ~ intercourse + species,
information = dat
)
For the readers who’re used to carry out linear regressions in R, you’ll discover that the construction of the code for a two-way ANOVA is in truth comparable:
- the system is
dependent variable ~ unbiased variables - the
+signal is used to incorporate unbiased variables with out an interplay4 - the
*signal is used to incorporate unbiased variables with an interplay
The resemblance with a linear regression shouldn’t be a shock as a result of a two-way ANOVA, like all ANOVA, is definitely a linear mannequin.
Word that the next code works as effectively, and provides the identical outcomes:
# methodology 2
mod2 <- lm(body_mass_g ~ intercourse * species,
information = dat
)
Anova(mod2)
## Anova Desk (Kind II exams)
##
## Response: body_mass_g
## Sum Sq Df F worth Pr(>F)
## intercourse 37090262 1 387.460 < 2.2e-16 ***
## species 143401584 2 749.016 < 2.2e-16 ***
## intercourse:species 1676557 2 8.757 0.0001973 ***
## Residuals 31302628 327
## ---
## Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
Word that the aov() perform assumes a balanced design, that means that now we have equal pattern sizes inside ranges of our unbiased grouping variables.
For unbalanced design, that’s, unequal numbers of topics in every subgroup, the really helpful strategies are:
- the Kind-II ANOVA when there may be no vital interplay, which could be accomplished in R with
Anova(mod, sort = "II"),5 and - the Kind-III ANOVA when there’s a vital interplay, which could be accomplished in R with
Anova(mod, sort = "III").
That is past the scope of the submit and we assume a balanced design right here. For the reader, see this detailed discussion about sort I, sort II and kind III ANOVA.
By means of the 2 essential results being vital, we concluded that:
- controlling for the species, physique mass is totally different between females and males, and
- controlling for the intercourse, physique mass is totally different for a minimum of one species.
If physique mass is totally different between the 2 sexes, on condition that there are precisely two sexes, it should be as a result of physique mass is considerably totally different between females and males.
If one needs to know which intercourse has the best physique mass, it may be deduced from the means and/or boxplots by subgroup. Right here, it’s clear that males have a considerably larger physique mass than females.
Nonetheless, it’s not so easy for the species. Let me clarify why it’s not as simple as for the sexes.
There are three species (Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo), so there are 3 pairs of species:
- Adelie and Chinstrap
- Adelie and Gentoo
- Chinstrap and Gentoo
If physique mass is considerably totally different for a minimum of one species, it may very well be that:
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap however not considerably totally different between Adelie and Gentoo, and never considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Gentoo, or
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Adelie and Gentoo however not considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap, and never considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Gentoo, or
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Gentoo however not considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap, and never considerably totally different between Adelie and Gentoo.
Or, it may be that:
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap, and between Adelie and Gentoo, however not considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Gentoo, or
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap, and between Chinstrap and Gentoo, however not considerably totally different between Adelie and Gentoo, or
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Gentoo, and between Adelie and Gentoo, however not considerably totally different between Adelie and Chinstrap.
Final, it may be that physique mass is considerably totally different between all species.
As for a one-way ANOVA, we can not, at this stage, know exactly which species is totally different from which one when it comes to physique mass. To know this, we have to evaluate every species two by two due to post-hoc exams (often known as pairwise comparisons).
There are a number of post-hoc exams, the commonest one being the Tukey HSD, which exams all potential pairs of teams. As talked about earlier, this check solely must be accomplished on the species variable as a result of there are solely two ranges for the intercourse.
As for the one-way ANOVA, the Tukey HSD could be accomplished in R as follows:
# methodology 1
TukeyHSD(mod,
which = "species"
)
## Tukey a number of comparisons of means
## 95% family-wise confidence degree
##
## Match: aov(system = body_mass_g ~ intercourse * species, information = dat)

## Gentoo-Chinstrap 1350.73431 1239.9964 1461.4722 0.0000000
or utilizing the {multcomp} bundle:

Word that when utilizing the second methodology, it’s the mannequin with out the interplay that must be specified into the glht() perform, even when the interplay is important. Furthermore, don’t forget to switch mod and species in my code with the identify of your mannequin and the identify of your unbiased variable.
Each strategies give the identical outcomes, that’s:
- physique mass is not considerably totally different between Chinstrap and Adelie (adjusted p-value = 0.83),
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Gentoo and Adelie (adjusted p-value < 0.001), and
- physique mass is considerably totally different between Gentoo and Chinstrap (adjusted p-value < 0.001).
Bear in mind that it’s the adjusted p-values which might be reported, to forestall the issue of multiple testing which happens when evaluating a number of pairs of teams.
If you need to check all combos of teams, it may be accomplished with the TukeyHSD() perform and specifying the interplay within the which argument:
# all combos of intercourse and species

which = "intercourse:species"
)

In case you have many teams to check, plotting them is likely to be simpler to interpret:
# set axis margins so labels don't get reduce off
par(mar = c(4.1, 13.5, 4.1, 2.1))
# create confidence interval for every comparability
plot(TukeyHSD(mod, which = "intercourse:species"),
las = 2 # rotate x-axis ticks
)
From the outputs and plot above, we conclude that each one combos of intercourse and species are considerably totally different, besides between feminine Chinstrap and feminine Adelie (p-value = 0.138) and male Chinstrap and male Adelie (p-value = 0.581).
These outcomes, that are by the best way consistent with the boxplots proven above and which shall be confirmed with the visualizations under, concludes the two-way ANOVA in R.
If you need to visualise outcomes another way to what has already been offered within the preliminary analyses, under are some concepts of helpful plots.
First, with the imply and customary error of the imply by subgroup utilizing the allEffects() perform from the {results} bundle:
# methodology 1
library(results)
plot(allEffects(mod))
Or utilizing the {ggpubr} bundle:
# methodology 2
library(ggpubr)
ggline(subset(dat, !is.na(intercourse)), # take away NA degree for intercourse
x = "species",
y = "body_mass_g",
coloration = "intercourse",
add = c("mean_se") # add imply and customary error
) +
labs(y = "Imply of physique mass (g)")
Alternatively, utilizing {Rmisc} and {ggplot2}:
library(Rmisc)
# compute imply and customary error of the imply by subgroup
summary_stat <- summarySE(dat,
measurevar = "body_mass_g",
groupvars = c("species", "intercourse")
)# plot imply and customary error of the imply
ggplot(
subset(summary_stat, !is.na(intercourse)), # take away NA degree for intercourse
aes(x = species, y = body_mass_g, color = intercourse)
) +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = body_mass_g - se, ymax = body_mass_g + se), # add error bars
width = 0.1 # width of error bars
) +
geom_point() +
labs(y = "Imply of physique mass (g)")
Second, for those who desire to attract solely the imply by subgroup:
with(
dat,
interplay.plot(species, intercourse, body_mass_g)
)
Final however not least, for these of you who’re conversant in GraphPad, you might be most certainly conversant in plotting means and error bars as follows:
# plot imply and customary error of the imply as barplots
ggplot(
subset(summary_stat, !is.na(intercourse)), # take away NA degree for intercourse
aes(x = species, y = body_mass_g, fill = intercourse)
) +
geom_bar(place = position_dodge(), stat = "identification") +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = body_mass_g - se, ymax = body_mass_g + se), # add error bars
width = 0.25, # width of error bars
place = position_dodge(.9)
) +
labs(y = "Imply of physique mass (g)")
On this submit, we began with just a few reminders of the totally different exams that exist to check a quantitative variable throughout teams. We then targeted on the two-way ANOVA, ranging from its purpose and hypotheses to its implementation in R, along with the interpretations and a few visualizations. We additionally briefly talked about its underlying assumptions and one post-hoc check to check all subgroups.
All this was illustrated with the penguins dataset obtainable from the {palmerpenguins} bundle.
Thanks for studying.
I hope this text will assist you to in conducting a two-way ANOVA together with your information.
