Q

In ANOVA, we want to know two things:

A
    1. How much of the variance (difference) between the two groups is due to the predictor variable
    1. Whether this proportion of variance is statistically significant, that is, it is larger than we would expect by chance if the null hypothesis were true?

25
* Procedure is very similar. * This time we are looking for the sum of squares within each group. * Rather than using the total mean, we use the mean for each group.
Calculating the SSwithin
26
Easy way and hard way. * SStotal = SSwithin + SSbetween * Thus: SS Between = SS Total – SS Within
Calculating SSbetween
27
To know how large the effect of the treatment has been.
Effect size
28
The same as asking what proportion of the Total Variance (or Total Sum of Squares) the treatment effect has been responsible for
effect size
29
calculating the effect size
This is just: SS Between / SS Total.
30
Effect Size goes under two different names: these are
R -Squared or eta-Squared.
31
1st: Calculate the Mean Squares. Often written as MS. * These are MSbetween, MSwithin, MStotal
Calculating Statistical Significance
32
this gives us the statistic for ANOVA, which is called___, or sometimes the ____
F or F-ratio.
33
____ and___ are exactly the same test
ANOVA and t-test
34
To find the probability value associated with F we need to have two sets of ____, the between and within.
degrees of freedom
35
In fact, if we take the value of t and square it. We get the value of ____
F
36
This is a general rule when there are 2 groups
F = t-squared
37
restricted to comparing 2 groups.
t-test
38
extends in a number of useful directions.
ANOVA
39
Can be used to compare 3 groups or more, to calculate the p-value associated with the Regression Line, and in a wide range of other situations.
ANOVA and T-test
40
When there are 2 groups, ANOVA____ is equivalent to a t-test, and it therefore makes the same assumptions as the t-test. and it makes these assumptions regardless of the number of groups that are being compared
When there are 2 groups, ANOVA is equivalent to a t-test, and it therefore makes the same assumptions as the t-test.
41
ASSUMPTIONS IN ANOVA We do not assume that the outcome variable is normally distributed. What we do assume is that data within each group are normally distributed.
Normal distribution within each group
42
ASSUMPTIONS IN ANOVA * As with the t-test, we assume that the standard deviation within each group is approximately equal. * the variance being the square of the SD. * However, as with the t-test, we don’t need to worry about this assumption, if we have approximately equal numbers of people in each group. * Formulae are all the same.
Homogeneity of Variance
43
most elementary analysis of variance
one way ANOVA
44
one way ANOVA also called as 1. 2. 3. 4.
simple-randomized groups design, independent groups design, or the single factor experiment, independent groups design.
45
not limited to single factor experiments.
ANOVA
46
The effect of many different factors may be investigated at the same time in____
one experiment
47
one in which the effects of two or more factors or IVs are assessed in one experiment.
Factorial experiment
48
used are combinations of the levels of factors.
Conditions or treatments
49
more complicated. However, we get a lot more information * It allows in one experiment to evaluate the effect of two IVs and the interaction between them.
TWO WAY ANOVA
50
Since this is an independent groups design, subjects would be_____to each of the cells so that a different group of subjects occupies each cell.
randomly assigned
51
Two-Way ANOVA We want to determine whether factor A has a significant effect, disregarding the effect of factor B. This is called the ____
main effect of factor A.
51
the levels of each factor were systematically chosen by the experimenter rather than being randomly chosen.
Fixed effects design
52
Two-Way ANOVA We want to determine whether factor B has a significant effect, without considering the effect of factor A. This is called the ___
main effect of factor B.
53
Two-Way ANOVA we want to determine whether there is an interaction between factors A and B.
interaction effect of factors A and B.
54
In analyzing data from a two-way ANOVA, we determine four variance estimates:
* MS within cells * MS rows * MS columns * MS interaction
55
The estimate MS within cells is the within cells variance estimate and corresponds to the within groups variance estimate used in the ____
one-way ANOVA.
56
The other estimates are sensitive to the effects of the____
IVs. or independent variables
57
The estimate MS rows is called the ____. It is based on the variability of the row means and, hence, is sensitive to the effects of variable A.
row variance estimate
58
The estimate MS columns is called the ____ It is based on the variability of the column means and, hence, is sensitive to the effects of variable
column variance estimate.
59
If variable A has no effect, MS rows is an independent estimate of the____
σ-squared.
60
Finally, if there is no interaction between variables A and B, MS interaction is also an independent estimate of ____
σ – squared.
61
Thus, the estimates MS rows, MS columns, and MS interaction are analogous to the between-groups variance estimate of the _____
one-way ANOVA design.
62
Each F (or F obtained) value is evaluated against F crit (critical value) as in the____
one way analysis.
63
In a_____, we can essentially two one-way experiments, plus we are able to evaluate the interaction between the two independent variables.
two-way ANOVA
64
In a ____, we partition the total sum of squares (SS total), into four components:
2-way ANOVA the within-cells sum of squares, the row sum of squares, the column sum of squares, and the interaction sum of squares.
65
When these Sum of Squares (SS) are divided by the appropriate degrees of freedom, they form four variance estimates.
(MS within-cells, MS rows, MS columns and MS interaction)
