One-Way Analysis of Variance

In order to compute a one-way analysis of variance with MAXQDA Stats, select Compare Groups > Analysis of Variance in the main menu. A window appears that allows you to select several dependent variables and one factor as an independent variable.

Dialog box for the selection of the dependent variables and the factor for the variance analysis

Variables can be selected in several ways:

  • Double-click on a variable.
  • Drag and drop the variable into the right window pane.
  • Select one or multiple variables with the mouse by holding the Ctrl/Cmd key then dragging the selection into the right window pane with the mouse, or click the blue arrow in the middle of the window.

To integrate code frequencies per document as dependent variables or as a factor, switch to the “Codes” tab and select the desired codes. (This option is available only if MAXQDA Stats was launched with the data of a MAXQDA project).

Hint: You can only select variables of the type integer or floating point as dependent variable.

In order to integrate only those cases that contain variables with a valid value select Exclude cases listwise.
