The One-Way ANOVA procedure is used to test the hypothesis that several sample means are equal.

  • You can alternately use the Means procedure to obtain a one-way analysis of variance with a test for linearity.
  • If your test variable does not meet the conditions of analysis of variance, you can use the Kruskal-Wallis H test in the Tests for Several Independent Samples procedure.
  • If you have multiple factors, use the GLM Univariate procedure to obtain two-way analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and more.
