7. Independent groups One Way ANOVA Flashcards
Why use an ANOVA?
To show whether there are differences among groups (IVS) on a variable of interest (DV) … do the means VARY?
What does an ANOVA compare a ratio of?
Systematic variance to Unsystematic variance (error)
In ANOVA speak what is Systematic variance and unsystematic variance written as?
Variance Between Groups
Variance Within Groups
What is the total mean of means called in an ANOVA?
The Grand Mean (the simplest model)
Why is the grand mean important in ANOVA?
The regression ANOVA model must be a sig. better fit than the grand mean
What does b0 represent in the regression line equation?
the coefficient of the intercept
What does b1 represent in the regression line equation?
the slop of the line
What happens as the coefficient of the regression line (b1) gets bigger?
The difference between the model and the mean gets bigger
When would we expect that the regression model is a better fit than the mean?
When the group means are sig. different
What is the grand mean represented as in the regression output?
The Total Sum of Squares
SST
(The Total Variance)
What is the variance from the model represented as in the regression output?
The Model Sum of Squares
SSM/B
(Variance Between Groups)
What is the residual variance represented as in the regression output?
Residual Sum of Squares
SSW
(Variance Within Groups)
What do we need to do in an ANOVA if we have more then 2 levels in a categorical IV?
Dummy code the levels to create new dummy variables
How many Dummy variables do you need?
1 less than the number of levels with a baseline variable of 0
(e.g. with 4 levels you would have 0, 1, 2, 3)
To create the dummy variables, how many times do you need to code them if you have four levels?
3 times… e.g. baseline (0) and dummy variable 1, then baseline (0) and DV2, then baseline (0) and DV3
CODED as 0 AND 1 each time (with the other non-used variables as 0 as well)
What does OLS stand for?
Ordinary Linear Squared (regression)
What are the degrees of freedom for SSB/M?
k - 1
k = number of groups
What are the degrees of freedom for SSW (error)?
N - k
(N = total sample size
k = number of groups)
What are the degrees of freedom for SST or Grand Mean?
N - 1
N = total sample size
How do you calculate the effect size for an ANOVA?
Take the square root of
Rsq = SSM / SST
= r (Cohen’s conventions)
What is the effect size normally reported as?
Eta squared (based on the SS sample not SS population = issue)
What should we used instead of Eta Squared?
Omega Squared
What is Omega Squared?
A less biased measurement of effect size
How is Omega Squared calculated?
ωSq (omega squared)
= SSB - (k - 1)*MeanSqSSW /
SST+MeanSqSSW
How is Omega Sq interpreted?
Using Cohen’s RSq conventions: 1%, 9%, 25%
What are the 2 ways you can test for group differences?
Planned comparisons (planned contrasts)
or
Post-hoc tests
What is the difference between using contrasts and post-hoc tests?
Contrasts = one-tailed for specific priori hypotheses Post-hoc = two-tailed for non directional hypotheses
What are the 5 rules for planned contrasts?
number of contrasts = k - 1
(e.g. 0 v. 1,2&3; 1 v. 2&3; 2 v. 3)
Orthogonal
if group not in contrast = 0
two chunks of variance contrasted
sum of weights = 0
(coefficients balance out e.g. if using 0 v.1,2,3 then 0 has a coefficient of 3 because it is being compared to 3 other variables with coefficients of 1: 1+1+1=3)
