A powerful procedure to obtain more information on the quality of a
regression model is the analysis of variances (ANOVA). The idea behind
ANOVA is to split the variances within a model into several parts, which
then can be set in relationship to each other, thus uncovering facts about
the model. ANOVA can thus be used to check the validity a model, and the
goodness (or, lack) of fit. Basically we have to distinguish between two
cases:
The second case is the more powerful and allows the collection of
further information on the model involved.
The general scheme of the breakdown of errors is as follows
