A

main effect of factor B.

57

In analyzing data from a two-way ANOVA, we determine

60
Q

The estimate ___ is the within cells variance

62
Q

The other estimates are sensitive to the__

A

63
Q

The estimate MS rows is called the_

estimate.

64
Q

row variance
estimate is based on the variability of the row means and,
hence, is sensitive to the_

A

effects of variable A.

65
Q

The estimate MS columns is called the _

A

estimate.

66
Q

column variance
estimate is based on the variability of the column means and,

A

effects of variable B.

67
Q

The estimate MS interaction is the __

A

interaction variance
estimate

68
Q

interaction variance
estimate is based on the variability of the cell means and,

69
Q

If variable A has no effect, MS rows is an
__of the __

A

estimate; σ-squared.

70

72
Q

In a two-way ANOVA, we can essentially two one-way

73
Q

In a 2-way ANOVA, we partition the total sum of
squares (SS total), into four components:

A
  1. the withincells sum of squares,
  2. the row sum of squares,
  3. the column sum of squares,
  4. and the interaction sum of
    squares.
74

estimates..

A

75
Q

use the __ means, whereas the between-groups sum of
squares used the __ means.

A

row; group

76
Q

In ANOVA we aim to find out if there are differences
between the groups, but not _
_

A

what those differences are.

77
Q

Usually, we test the hypothesis that: μ1 = μ2 = μ3
* In the case of two groups, this is not a problem, because
if the mean of group 1 is different from the mean of
group 2, that can only happen in __

A

one way.

78
Q

However, when we reject a null hypothesis when there
are three or more groups, we aren’t really saying
enough.
* We are just saying that group 1, group 2, and group 3
(and so on, up to group k) are ___

A

not the same.

79
Q

Unlike the two-group solution, this can happen in __

A

lots of
ways.

80
Q

_
to answer the question of where the
differences come from.

A

Post Hoc tests –

81
Q

Post hoc” is Latin, and means “

A

82
Q

Post hoc tests are tests done after
__.
* They are based on –

A

ANOVA; t-tests.

83
Q

It is possible to just do t-tests to compare groups, but this
would cause a problem called -

A

alpha inflation

84
Q

Alpha is the Type__error rate.

A

85
Q

A _
_is where we reject a null hypothesis that is
true.

A

Type I error

86
Q

The probability value that we choose as a cut-off

A

Type I error rate

87
Q

That is, it is the probability of getting a __ result
in our test, if the population effect is actually zero.

A

significant

88
Q

When 3 tests are done, a cut-off of 0.05 is used, and most
think that the probability of a Type I error is __.

A

still 0.05

89
Q

We call 0.05 our _
_error rate, because that
is the Type I error rate we have named.

A

nominal Type I

90
Q

The problem is that the Type I error rate has __, and it is no longer our true type I error rate.

A

risen above
0.05

91
Q

When we do multiple t-tests, following an ANOVA, we
are at risk of
__.

A

capitalizing on chance

92
Q

The probability that one of those tests will be statistically
significant is not 0.05, but is actually closer to __

A

three
times 0.05 or 0.15, about 1 in 7.

93
Q

So our actual type I error rate is much – than our
nominal rate.

A

higher

94
Q

we need to perform some sort of __
and we can’t use our plain ordinary t-test.

A

modified test

95
Q

-
* Assumption of homogeneity of variance

A

Bonferroni Correction

96
Q

Bonferroni Correction

What is done here is to calculate the pooled standard
error, and then calculate three t-tests using this
__

A

pooled
standard error.

97
Q

However, there are 2 reasons, why we are not going to do this. (Bonferroni Correction)

A

1st: it is tricky
2nd: It is so unintuitive.

98
Q

__
* When there are two groups, we calculate the standard
error, and then calculate the confidence interval, based
on multiplying the SE by the critical value for t. at 0.05
level.

A

Bonferroni Corrected Confidence Intervals

99
Q

Bonferroni Corrected Confidence Intervals: We carry out the same procedure, except we are no
longer using the
__

A

95% level.

100
Q

We have to adjust alpha by dividing by __, to give 0.0166.

A

3

101
Q

We then calculate the critical value for _
_, using the new
value for alpha.

A

t

102
Q

To calculate the confidence intervals, we need to know
the _

A

critical value of t.

103
Q

Since we are now using the value of alpha corrected for
the number of tests (say 3), we are now going to be
doing __, so we need to use 0.05/3 = 0.0166.

A

three tests

104
Q

Before we can determine the critical value, we need to
know the
__
* The df are calculated in the same way as the t-test. That
is, df = N-2, where N is the total sample size for the two
groups we are comparing.

A

degrees of freedom (df).

105
Q
  • Calculation of statistical significance is also
    straightforward once we have the standard errors of the
    differences-
A

Bonferroni Corrected Statistical Significance

106
Q

A

difference divided by the
standard error of difference.

__ – to find probability value.

A

Computer

108
Q

Bonferroni Correction
Two advantages:

A
  1. it controls our type I error rates,
    which means that we don’t go making spurious
    statements. 2. it is easy to understand.
109
Q

Whenever we do ___, we can Bonferroni
correct by multiplying the probability value by the
number of tests, and treating this as the probability
value.

A

multiple tests

110
Q

Or equivalently, dividing our cut-off by the ___, and rejecting only null hypotheses that have
significance values lower than that cut-off.

A

number of
tests

111
Q

Problem: Bonferroni Correction

A

it is a very unwieldy and very blunt tool.
