    I What does the one-way analysis of variance illustrate in this case?

    Hello, I was reading an example where correlation between two features is to be measured. The two features are drive-wheels and price. The drive-wheels feature has three values: 4wd, fwd, and rwd. Then the example went on to calculate the F-score without much details using Python. Without going...
