I am pretty struggling to understand the concept of ANOVA, why do we need such a process? I also notice during the model utility test(full model vs reduced model/ check whether any of estimated parameter is not important) we also call anova(). what is this test relationship with analysis of variance?

Appreciate for any comments.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for your reply. No really, I know the details about comparing nested model and assessing deviance, but confusing its relationship with analysis of variance, comparing different group's variations. how come they call the same code in R. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ These are the same, though. The aov function is just a wrapper around lm with extra arguments allowed in the formula (e.g., controlling the Error term), so you could use lm directly to fit a two-way ANOVA, much like you could use glm to fit a simple linear regression, after specifying the correct family (gaussian). In the case of a linear regression model, you can provide a table of regression coefficients (with their individual significance level) and/or a table of regression for the model as a whole, as described in the above link, depending on what you're interested in. $\endgroup$
