I've been presented with a problem where I don't have the raw data, but I do
have summary data.
Specifically, I have a response that takes values from 0 thru 10, and a
factor that has 5 levels (unordered) ...
I have a mean and std dev for each of the 5 levels and need to obtain a
p-value indicating whether there is evidence of a difference between these
means.
Mean Std Dev N
Level A mA stdA nA
Level B mB stdB nB
Level C mC stdC nC
Level D mD stdD nD
Level E mE stdE nE
My current plan is to assume normally distributed responses and use the
known mean and std dev to generate data points which can be combined to
create a data set similar to the "true" (but unavailable) data set. Then I
can use a standard 1-way ANOVA to determine the p-value.
Does anyone know of any pre-packaged solution to this type of problem in R?
Or perhaps suggest a better solution than that which I have outlined above?
Thanks ... Mohamed
