The t-test, one-way Analysis of Variance The t-test, one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and a form of regression all test the (ANOVA) and a form of regression all test the same thing and can be considered equivalent same thing and can be considered equivalent alternative analyses.alternative analyses.

The regression model is emphasized here The regression model is emphasized here because it is the most general.because it is the most general.
