Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and also new to statistics and I would appreciated it
if someone would take some time to answer my question.
I am analyzing companies in regard to their leverage. I categorized the
companies into 3 groups: small, mid and large. For the group small, I have
55 debt multiples, for mid 42 and for large 72. (Unfortunately I can not
provide my data because it is confidential.)
I am now trying to find out whether the mean debt multiples are
significantly different for the 3 different groups. For this reason I
calculated an anova table with the aov function and to display the results
for each "pair" I did the tukey.hsd function.
Now my question: Am I allowed to use these functions given that my data is
unbalanced? Can use I read several times that aov is only valid for balanced
data? If not, is there another function that I can use?
Thank you very much for your answers.
