Plots illustrating the three assumptions of ANOVA. (a) The normal probability plot assesses whether the residuals (the differences between experimental data and predicted values) follow a normal distribution. (b) The constant variance plot demonstrates the relationship between predicted values and residuals, allowing for the assessment of residuals within a specified range. (c) The plot of residuals versus run order examines potential time-dependent trends; if a noticeable trend is present, it suggests that a time-related variable may influence the response, indicating a need for experimental revision. Otherwise, the data should appear randomly distributed.
