Two-Way Analysis of Variance for Interval-Valued Data

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 77))

Abstract

We establish two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for interval-valued data. Each observation is assumed to be a compact convex interval, and the two-way ANOVA determines whether to reject null hypotheses about the effects of two factors on the observed intervals. The Minkowski support function is used to obtain a metric for intervals and to transform them to Hilbert-space-valued functions. We derive test statistics that are appropriate for testing the null hypotheses, and we develop a bootstrap scheme for approximating the p-values of the observed test statistics.
