Strip Chart

The data set consists of

  1. provides factor levels which identifies group $ i$.
  2. contains measurement values $ X_{ij}$'s.
Strip chart shows the individual observations (as dots) for each level overlaid with group mean values (solid line segments) and the overall mean value (dashed horizontal line).

The assumption for an analysis of variance (AOV) test is described as follows: The random variable $\varepsilon_{ij} = X_{ij} - \alpha_i$ is called a residual, and it is assumed that all $ \varepsilon_{ij}$'s are independent and approximately normally distributed with mean 0 and common variance $ \sigma^2$. When the nonnormality cannot be eliminated by the use of transformation, the Kruskal-Wallis test is appropriate for the hypothesis testing. Here the null hypothesis $ H_0$ is that k population distributions (not necessarily normal) are identical. It calculates the test statistic and the p-value . By rejecting $ H_0$ we can find some evidence supporting that not all the distributions are the same.
