Example of Two-Way Analysis of Variance with Interaction

Open Popcorn.jmp. You are interested in whether popcorn and batch have an effect on yield.

Select Analyze > Fit Model.

In the Select Columns list, select yield and click Y.

In the Select Columns list, select popcorn and batch.

Select Macros > Full Factorial.

The Fit Model window appears as shown in Fit Model Window for Two-Way Analysis of Variance with Interaction.

Model Fit for a Two-Way Analysis of Variance with Interaction shows a profiler plot of the fit for this example. To obtain this plot, click Run in the Fit Model window shown in Fit Model Window for Two-Way Analysis of Variance with Interaction. Then, from the red triangle menu for the Fit Least Squares report, select Factor Profiling > Profiler.

In the top plot, popcorn is set to gourmet, and in the bottom plot, it is set to plain. Note how the predicted values for the settings of batch depend on the type of popcorn. This is a consequence of the interaction between popcorn and batch.
