Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) is a type of linear model that combines the best abilities of linear regression with the best of Analysis of Variance.
It allows you to test differences in group means and interactions, just like ANOVA, while covarying out the effect of a continuous covariate.
Through examples and graphs, we’ll talk about what it really means to covary out the effect of a continuous variable and how to interpret results.
Primary to the discussion will be when ANCOVA is and is not appropriate and how correlations and interactions between the covariate and the independent variables affect interpretation.
