Definition:
ANOVA stands for analysis-of-variance, a statistical model meant to analyze
data. Generally the variables in an ANOVA analysis are categorical, not
continuous. The term main effect is used in the ANOVA context. The
main effect of x seems to mean the result of an F test to see if the
different categories of x have any detectable effect on the dependent variable
on average. ANOVA is used often in sociology, but rarely in economics as far
as this editor can tell. The terms ANCOVA and ANOCOVA mean
analysis-of-covariance.(Econterms)
