The Salaries dataset from the carData consists of nine-month academic salary for Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and Professors in a college in the U.S. The data were collected as part of the on-going effort of the college’s administration to monitor salary differences between male and female faculty members.
-Perform the 3-way Anova with and w/o interactions. Interpret the results. -Can years since doctorate (yrs.since.phd), length of service (yrs.service) be significant as covariates? -Is there any significant difference in years since PhD (yrs.since.phd) and seniority (yrs.service) of different rank professors?

#Overall Interpretations: Both ANOVA tests indicate highly significant differences in both years since PhD and years of service across different ranks. The p-values are very small (less than 0.05), suggesting that the differences are unlikely to be due to random chance.
In this analysis, we conducted a series of statistical tests to explore salary differences among faculty members in a U.S. college. The three-way ANOVA without interactions allowed us to examine the impact of rank, sex, and discipline on salary. The results indicated that at least one of these factors significantly influenced salary, with individual levels of each factor also showing significant effects.
The inclusion of covariates, such as years since PhD and years of service, in the analysis further revealed their significance in explaining variations in salary. Both the overall tests and individual covariate tests suggested that these factors collectively and individually contribute to salary differences among faculty members.
Additionally, we investigated the differences in years since PhD and years of service across different ranks using ANOVA. The results demonstrated highly significant variations in both years since PhD and years of service among faculty ranks. This implies that not only the categorical factors but also the continuous factors contribute significantly to the observed salary differences.
In summary, our analyses provide valuable insights into the factors influencing academic salaries. These findings can inform the college’s administration in their ongoing efforts to monitor and address salary disparities among faculty members. The low p-values across various tests indicate that the observed differences are not likely due to random chance, reinforcing the robustness of our results.
It’s important to note that these findings are based on the current dataset, and further exploration or additional data may be necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting academic salaries in the college.
