Two-Way Analysis of Variance

In this case, we may observe for example the length, weight, etc. of a product which is manufactured in two different stages: first by one of the machines A_1,\,...,A_n, then by one of the machines B_1,\,...,B_k. Then, we would like to know whether all machines of type A have the same influence on the final length, weight, etc.

If we assume that we have one product (with size X_{ij}) for each possible combination of machines A_i and B_j then we reject H_0 if

\frac{ (k-1) * k * sum_{i=1}^n (X_{......- X_{i.} - X_{.j} + X_{..})^2 > F_{n-1,(n-1)(k-1);1-alpha}

where

X_{i.} & := & \frac1k * sum_{j=1}^k X_{ij}   ......& \frac1{k * n} * sum_{i=1}^n sum_{j=1}^k X_{ij}
