Hi there,
The following data is obtained from a long-term experiments. In the data
set, ``Year'' is for sampling time, ``N'' is the tested property, and
``N.sd'' is the standard deviation of 3 times measurements of ``N'' of
the same sample.
Year N N.sd
1952 561.7400 33.69357
1963 709.0100 27.84428
1976 713.1600 33.20421
1998 755.3533 57.29368
2008 865.0033 51.11501
Now I hope to test whether the variation between different year is
significant or not. For example, does ``N'' in 1952 significantly differ
with that in 2008?
However, because of the historical reason, the experiments did not set
replications. And the ``Year'' here is a continuous variable. So, the
tradition ANOVA can not be applied here. Is there any method that I can
apply in this situation?
Any suggestions will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jinsong
