Abstract

Categorical analysis of variance, or catanova, is presented in this paper for two factors one of which is nested in the other. A breakdown is given of the total observed variation into independent sources so that the effects of each factor can be tested and concluded separately. In catanova, frequency data are analysed in their original format, without the need for any transformation such as logit or log linear.
