Example of the Robust Fit Option
The data in the Drug Toxicity.jmp sample data table shows the toxicity levels for three different formulations of a drug.
1.
Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Drug Toxicity.jmp.
2.
Select Analyze > Fit Y by X.
3.
Select Toxicity and click Y, Response.
4.
Select Formulation and click X, Factor.
5.
Click OK.
6.
From the red triangle menu, select Means/Anova.
7.
From the red triangle menu, select Robust > Robust Fit.
Figure 6.31 Example of Robust Fit
If you look at the standard Analysis of Variance report, you might wrongly conclude that there is a difference between the three formulations, since the p-value is 0.0319. However, when you look at the Robust Fit report, you would not conclude that the three formulations are significantly different, because the p-value there is 0.21755. It appears that the toxicity for a few of the observations is unusually high, creating the undue influence on the data.
