How to find the critical value of F for one-way ANOVA in R?


To find the critical value of F for one-way ANOVA in R, we can follow the below steps −

  • First of all, create a data frame with one categorical and one numerical column.
  • Then, use aov function to find the anova table.
  • After that, use qf function to find the critical value of F for one-way ANOVA.

Create the data frame

Let's create a data frame as shown below −

 Live Demo

Grp<-sample(LETTERS[1:4],20,replace=TRUE)
Score<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(Grp,Score)
df

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

   Grp   Score
1  B    1.75508031
2  D   -1.43867197
3  B   -0.18409783
4  C   -1.72435769
5  C   -0.95996448
6  B    0.19776077
7  B    0.52247374
8  C   -1.28337249
9  C   -0.63236147
10 B    0.93966870
11 B    0.23925102
12 B    0.86565239
13 B    0.07353123
14 A   -0.62096596
15 A    -1.76680335
16 A    0.12203536
17 B    0.66276852
18 D    -0.50199349
19 A    -1.30960082
20 D    -1.32413279

Create the anova table

Using aov function and summary function to find the anova table −

 Live Demo

Grp<-sample(LETTERS[1:4],20,replace=TRUE)
Score<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(Grp,Score)
ANOVA<-aov(Score~Grp,data=df)
ANOVA<-summary(ANOVA)
ANOVA

Output

           Df Sum    Sq   Mean Sq F value Pr(>F)
Grp        3  12.870 4.29 11.6 0.000274 ***
Residuals 16  5.917 0.37
---
Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1

Find the critical value of F for one-way ANOVA

Using qf function to find the critical value of F for one-way ANOVA −

 Live Demo

Grp<-sample(LETTERS[1:4],20,replace=TRUE)
Score<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(Grp,Score)
ANOVA<-aov(Score~Grp,data=df)
ANOVA<-summary(ANOVA)
qf(1-0.05,ANOVA[[1]][1,1],ANOVA[[1]][2,1])

Output

[1] 3.238872
