The starting point of the ANOVA operation is always data. Input in other froms may be used in ANOVAS operation. E.g. ANOVAS IEAMEANS,END+2 CELLN=Nofobs CELLM=Knowmean CELLD=Knowdev GROUPING=Attitude,SEX where the SURVO data file IEAMEANS contains group means, deviations and numbers of observations in the groups defined by the two grouping variables. The input may contain cell sums (CELLS) instead of cell means. Correspondingly, the input may contain variances (CELLV) or sum of squares (CELLSS) instead of deviations. If the sample sizes are equal then the common sample size may be given by the SMPLSIZE statement. Further, if methods for homogeneous group variances are used only, then it is sufficient to give the estimate of error variance (EVAR) and its degrees of freedoms (DF) instead of deviations. c Further information: A = More information on ANOVA operations
