Thank you Dr. Maarten. But isn't One way ANOVA also assume the
equality of variance (of the populations) that we consider? (excuse me
for my ignorance). Hence in a case where variances are statistically
different would the method you suggest give the 'right' result?
And thank you for pointing out that p-value thing being incorrect.
Rijo.
