General linear model and ANOVA Flashcards
what is the general linear model?
- Framework for comparing how several variables affect different continuous variables
what does general linear model include?
- correlations
- t- tests
- regression
- ANOVA/ ANCOVA
why does general linear model work?
- because it assumes that the residuals will be normally distributed and that different statistical tests combine linearly
why is it known as linear?
- because different stats tests add together in a simple way
what are the two main purposes of the general linear model?
- strengths and directions of relationships and differences
- strengths of interactions and manipulations
what do all general linear model tests analyse?
- all analyse variance
what differences do ANOVAs find?
- categorical differences between different conditions or different groups in a study
what are the two special kinds of linear regression?
- ANOVA
- T test
what is regression?
- statistical test to analyse relationship between a dependent variable (target) and one or more independent variables ( predictor)
what does ANOVA test?
- tests differences between two or more means
how is ANOVA different from a t-test?
- t- test generally used for comparing two means whereas ANOVA used for three
describe the variables of an ANOVA test
one categorical predictor (group= IV)
+
one continuous outcome (measure= DV)
what is a one way ANOVA?
- compares the means of three or more independent groups to determine if there is a statically significant difference between the means
how many groups in one- way ANOVA?
- three or more groups
how many variables, predictors and outcomes in one way ANOVA?
- one outcome variable
- one categorical predictor
- one continuous outcome
what is factorial (or multi- way) ANOVA?
- used when you’d like to understand how two or more factors affect a response variable and whether or not there is an interaction effect between the factors and the response variable
how many groups in factorial ANOVA?
- two or more groups
how many variables, predictors and outcomes in factorial ANOVA?
- two or more categorical predictor variables (sex, group)
- one continuous outcome variable(measure)
what is the grid created in factorial ANOVA? can individuals be in more than one group?
- 2 x 2
- four individual groups
- each person can only be in one
what is repeated measures ANOVA also known as?
- within- subjects
what is repeated measures ANOVA?
- compares means of three or more groups in which the same subjects show up in each group
how many groups in repeated measures ANOVA?
- one group
