public class OneWayAnova extends Object
 Tests for differences between two or more categories of univariate data
 (for example, the body mass index of accountants, lawyers, doctors and
 computer programmers).  When two categories are given, this is equivalent to
 the TTest.
 
 Uses the commons-math F Distribution implementation to estimate exact p-values.
This implementation is based on a description at http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/ch13pt1.html
 Abbreviations: bg = between groups,
                wg = within groups,
                ss = sum squared deviations

 p-value, using the formula
p = 1 - cumulativeProbability(F)where
F is the F value and cumulativeProbability
 is the commons-math implementation of the F distribution.
 True is returned iff the estimated p-value is less than alpha.
