OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the attitude of University of Nigeria pharmacy students towards pharmaceutical care. METHOD A survey of pharmacy students in their second to fifth year was conducted. A modified 13-item standard Pharmaceutical Care Attitudes Survey (PCAS) was used for the study. Reliability and factorial validity of the modified instrument were assessed. R...

ANOVA is one of the most important tools in comparing treatment means among different groups repeated measurements. The classical F test routinely used to if are same across groups. However, it inefficient when number or dimension gets large. We propose a smoothing truncation deal with this problem. It shown theoreticall...

Traditionally, the analysis of a quantitative phenotype as a function of a two allele polymorphism at a single locus involves a oneway ANOVA with locus as the ANOVA factor and the three individual genotypes (e.g., aa, Aa, and AA) as the levels of the factor. Here, we propose a related method of analysis that is just as easy to implement as the oneway ANOVA but has the following advantages: (1) ...

Factorial models and analysis of variance have been a central pillar of statistical thinking and practice for at least 70 years, so the opportunity to revisit these topics to look for signs of new life is welcome. Given its lengthy history, Anova is an unpromising area for new development, but recent advances in computational techniques have altered the outlook regarding spatial factors, and co...

Modern society generates an incredible amount of data about individuals, and releasing summary statistics about this data in a manner that provably protects individual privacy would offer a valuable resource for researchers in many fields. We present the first algorithm for analysis of variance (ANOVA) that preserves differential privacy, allowing this important statistical test to be conducted...

In this example, we reanalyze the soybean yield data, but treat the explanatory variable as a categorical (ordinal) variable with 4 levels and use one−way anova to test for a significant SO2 effect. We can think of the data as samples from four different populations, corresponding to the SO2 concentration the chambers received, with possibly different means. In each treatment group we have 3 ob...
