Independent one-way ANOVA Flashcards
Used when we have 1 IV with more than 2 levels
One-way ANOVA
Used when we have 1 IV with more than 2 levels, between subjects
One-way independent ANOVA
Used when we have 1 IV with more than 2 levels, within subjects
One-way repeated measures ANOVA
What does one-way ANOVA estimate?
Estimates whether the population means under the different levels of the IV are different
Estimates whether the population means under the different levels of the IV are different
This is known as…?
One-way ANOVA
One-way ANOVA estimates whether the population means under the different levels of the IV are different
What are the estimates based on?
The difference between the
measured sample means
Why use ANOVA and not stick to t-tests for studies with more than 2 IVs?
List 3 points
- With each IV levels, we’d have to run different t-tests
e.g. With 3 IV levels, we’d have to run 3 t-tests
- For each of these t-tests there would be a 5% chance of making a Type 1 error
- But the overall Type 1 error rate (across all t-tests) would be higher
Explain the sock drawer analogy in 3 points
- Sock drawer contents:
- 19 pairs of black socks
- 1 pair white socks - If you randomly pick out one pair:
- 1 in 20 chance of picking out the white socks (5%) - If you repeatedly go back and randomly pick out socks (returning those previously picked to the drawer)
- Chance of eventually picking out the white socks increases (>5%)
The probability that at least one of a ‘family’ of comparisons, run on the same data, will result in a
Type I error
This is known as…?
Familywise Error Rate
Describe Familywise Error Rate
The probability that at least one of a ‘family’ of comparisons, run on the same data, will result in a Type I error
The probability that at least one of a ‘family’ of comparisons, run on the same data, will result in a…?
a. Type I error
b. Type II error
a. Type I error
What is the formula for familywise error rate?
a’ = 1 - (1 - a)^c
or
Error rate for family of comparisons = 1 - (1 - Level of confidence we’re working to for each comparison (.95 if α=.05)^Number of comparisons
This study had 3 IV levels (A, B & C)
a. What is the familywise error rate?
b. What is the chance of Type I error?
A - B
A - C
B - C
= 3 comparisons
a.
a = 1 - (1 - 0.05)^3
a = .143
b. 14%
This study had 5 IV levels (A, B, C, D & E)
a. What is the familywise error rate?
b. What is the chance of Type I error?
A - B
A - C
A - D
A - E
B - C
B - D
B - E
C - D
C - E
D -E
= 10 comparisons
a.
a = 1 - (1 - 0.05)^10
a = .401
b. 40%
How many d.p. do we report Familywise error rate in?
3 d.p.
Do we include a 0 in front of the decimal point when reporting familywise error rate?
No
What tests control for the familywise error rate?
Omnibus tests (e.g. ANOVA)
Omnibus tests (e.g. ANOVA) control for…?
Familywise error rate
What is the formula for the F ratio in one-way ANOVA?
F = variance between IV levels / variance within IV levels
Is the variance between IV
levels relative to within IV levels small or large when the F value is close to 0?
Small
Is the variance between IV
levels relative to within IV levels small or large when the F value is further from 0?
Large
The variance between IV
levels relative to within IV levels is small when the F value is…?
a. Far from 0
b. Close to 0
b. Close to 0
The variance between IV
levels relative to within IV levels is large when the F value is…?
a. Far from 0
b. Close to 0
a. Far from 0
What contributes to variance between IV levels in independent designs?
List 3 things
- Manipulation of IV (treatment effects)
- Individual differences
- Experimental error (Random error, Constant error)
