Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a protocol to generate data sets for 1- and 2-way ANOVA that demonstrate a pre-specified F-ratio test statistic of P-value. These data sets can be used in academic settings to help students practice with key statistical concepts in educational psychology. Along with a proof of the calculations, implications for practical use are discussed.
