French term

analyse de variance à deux voies

French to English Medical Mathematics & Statistics statistical analysis
Research on Google seemed inconclusive - when speaking of variance analysis, would one say, e.g. 2-path variance analysis or 2-track variance analysis... or is there another way of saying this? I am sure a statistician would know the answer! See sentence below:

Le traitement statistique utilisé fut une analyse de variance à deux voies pour observer les différences observées dans le temps et un test t apparié afin de comparer les deux côtés.

Discussion

Maria Karra May 13, 2005:
Yes, "analysis of variance" (ANOVA) is the standard term in statistics (and not simply more common). I'm speaking as a "person in the know" :)
Non-ProZ.com May 13, 2005:
analysis of variance Great answers, thanks - but is 'analysis of variance' more common that 'variance analysis' - bearing in mind that they mean exactly the same thing? I ask because Google gives the same answer for both and I wondered what people in the know would say mostly. Thanks!

Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

This is the standard term

--------------------------------------------------

Variance is the sum of the squared deviations of individual observations from their mean divided by the number of observations. Its square root is known as the standard deviation.

Think of two-way ANOVA it in terms of a variable Z being influenced by two other variables X and Y. You are interested in the individual effects on X and Y on Z and the interaction (if any) between X and Y.

sorry should be \"of X and Y on Z\"

Re your asker note, analysis of variance is the term I was taught and the one that crops up in textbooks (hence the acroymn ANOVA).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "John, your references and explanations were the best! Thank you. By the way, are you the guy I briefly corresponded with regarding the IOL Diploma In Translation? Well, if you are, I passed the final paper of it this year (results received early May) so, even though I had to hand-write Paper 1, I somehow managed it! Phew! "

two-way analysis of variance

I did find 'analyse de variance à deux critères de classification' or 'analyse de variance double' which (I am going to venture) is the same thing.
