follow up score = constant + (a x baseline score) + (b x group) where a and b are regression coefficients and group is a binary dummy variable with control coded as 0 and treatment coded as 1. The main coefficient of interest is b, which is the estimated difference between the treatment and control group.

Is it possible to assess the differences between treatments?
Feb 17, 2016 · Distribution of estimations of the mean in the treatment group for two sample sizes. The horizontal axis is RBC size in femtoliter (fL). Sample size=10,000 (red). Sample size=100 (blue). Mean of comparison group=89 fL (green). The sample size of 100 is insufficient to discriminate between the treatment group mean and the comparison mean.
What happens if the control group differs from the treatment group?
Aug 24, 2020 · The fundamental principle in ANOVA is to determine how many times greater the variability due to the treatment is than the variability that we cannot explain. The measure of this is called an " F statistic" (named in honor of the inventor of ANOVA, the geneticist R. A. Fisher). A complete understanding of the theoretical underpinnings and ...
Is variation between treatment groups Our Friend or our enemy?
Oct 28, 2016 · $\begingroup$ You can test each Tk-post coefficient is equal to zero to see if treatment is effective. You can also test that their difference is zero to see if one is more effective than the other. These would be simple linear Wald tests in Stata that can be done using the test command and there are plenty examples of how to do such tests on this forum.
Can a research study include more than one treatment?
If it indeed is a between x within design, just run a two-way ANOVA: group x time. In Excel you would have 6 rows corresponding to 2 groups (control vs. treatment) x …

What is mean square in statistics?
The mean square is analogous to the variance (i.e. the square of the standard deviation) of a distribution. Thus a large mean square represents a large variance, and vice versa. The F ratio is simply the model mean square divided by the residuals mean square.
What is an ANOVA test?
An ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that there is no difference among the mean values for the different treatment groups. Although it is possible to conduct an ANOVA by hand, no one in their right mind having access to computer software would do so. Setting up an ANOVA using RStudio is quite easy.
What is the purpose of ANOVA?
The fundamental principle in ANOVA is to determine how many times greater the variability due to the treatment is than the variability that we cannot explain.
What is the goal of experimental science?
We have seen previously that a major goal of experimental science is to detect differences between measurements that have resulted from different treatments. Early on we learned that it is not possible to assess these differences based on a single measurement of each treatment. Without knowing how much variation existed within a treatment, we could not know if the difference between treatments was significantly large. The simplest and first formal statistical test we learned about, the t -test of means, provided a mathematical way of comparing the size of differences of means relative to the variability in the samples used to calculate those means.

Thank you Amir. I did ANOVA.my question I did the average weight both groups . I got big variance. when I can use average weight instad normal average . what about ifs did not averse weight.

The t-test and ANOVA require independence among observations. Since your design includes time, it creates temporal correlations. So, these two options are too much simple. The Repeated Measures ANOVA has an assumption called "Sphericity", which is rarely met. I suggest you an alternative approach.

What happens if your control group differs from the treatment group?
If your control group differs from the treatment group in ways that you haven’t accounted for, your results may reflect the interference of confounding variables instead of your independent variable.
What is the treatment group?
The treatment group (also called the experimental group) receives the treatment whose effect the researcher is interested in. The control group receives either no treatment, a standard treatment whose effect is already known, or a placebo (a fake treatment). The treatment is any independent variable manipulated by the experimenters, ...
What is a control group in science?
Revised on April 19, 2021. In a scientific study, a control group is used to establish a cause-and-effect relationship by isolating the effect of an independent variable. Researchers change the independent variable in the treatment group ...
How is a control group used in scientific research?
In a scientific study, a control group is used to establish a cause-and-effect relationship by isolating the effect of an independent variable. Researchers change the independent variable in the treatment group and keep it constant in the control group. Then they compare the results of these groups. Using a control group means that any change in ...
What is treatment in research?
The treatment is any independent variable manipulated by the experimenters, and its exact form depends on the type of research being performed. In a medical trial, it might be a new drug or therapy. In public policy studies, it could be a new social policy that some receive and not others.
What is a medical trial?
In a medical trial, it might be a new drug or therapy. In public policy studies, it could be a new social policy that some receive and not others. In a well-designed experiment, all variables apart from the treatment should be kept constant between the two groups.
Why are control groups important?
Importance of control groups. Control groups help ensure the internal validity of your research. You might see a difference over time in your dependent variable in your treatment group. However, without a control group, it is difficult to know whether the change has arisen from the treatment.
Data Summary
The format in which the data for different groups can be summarized is very simple and is the same regardless of the measure of disease frequency. A generic template is shown in the figure: exposure status (in this case, yes/no) is indicated in rows, and the outcome status for each exposure category is shown in the columns.
Two by Two Tables (2x2) or Contingency Tables
There is no fixed convention for setting up a 2x2 (also known as contingency) table. However, when you use these tables to compute measures of association there is a distinct advantage to setting them up the same way all the time. If you don't, you can get confused when calculating measures of association.
