Dear Friends,
I had performed anova test on certain data frame (Health Care
Management) and got results [summary(aov)]. I am new to R and also
some extent to Statistics. Can somebody help me how should I interpret
these figures. I feel difficulty in interpreting values and respective
rows and columns.
The following is the result to which I request interpretation:
> anova.stress$effects
(Intercept) heavy.drinking perceived.health
life.satisfaction
-127.7707327310 66.6366413568 58.0918782595
-6.9519755523 -0.7947641734
6.6881854290 13.3244486754 12.0570313711
14.1251305762 6.9407880977
7.7357329414 12.0627416985 -11.0900101005
1.2013513103 0.5663285592
For example if I am to talk about the very first value
-127.7707327310; what is this value is all about? and how it is
significant with respect to column headings. What is the last column?
> anova.stress$qr
$qr
(Intercept) heavy.drinking perceived.health
life.satisfaction

I some how got idea (after studying) about QR, but here how should I
interpret these values?
$qraux
[1] 1.258198890 1.151445509 1.139760525 1.291373419
What are these values and how should I interpret them?
> anova.stress$rank
[1] 4
what does it mean rank 4?
How can I know R and R square?
Apart from the above 1) how can I interpret fitted and residuals? Can
I put the plot and show these values referring respective points in
the graph?
I request somebody to help interpret the above things?
