LEC 5 Parametric Tests ll Flashcards
Parametric tests for >2 groups
- independent
- related
- one-way ANOVA (independent)
2. repeated measure ANOVA (related)
One-way ANOVA assumptions (4)
- the samples are random samples of their population
- the underlying populations are normally distributed
- the underlying populations are independent
- the underlying populations have equal variances
- unequal variances (Welch ANOVA)
Why do we need to use one-way ANOVA instead of conducting all possible independent-samples t-tests?
To control the overall probability of making a Type l error on the pre-determined significance level (alpha=0.05)
Type 1 error : false +ve (results say have association but in reality no association)
Type l error
= 1 - alpha
- alpha = 0.05
- false positive
- reject null hypothesis when null hypothesis is true
- in reality there is no statistically significant difference but results show statistically significant difference
Type ll error
- beta
- false negative
- failure to reject null hypothesis when alternative hypothesis is true
- in reality there is statistically significant difference but results show no statistically significant difference
2 sources of variation
- within groups (SD)
2. between groups (mean compared to overall mean)
Within group variation
- variation of individual values around their population means
- SD
Between groups variation
- variation of population means around the overall mean
- one way ANOVA will yield p<0.05
- hence do post-hoc test to determine where is the difference in population means
Overall mean
Summation of all scores / entire population
One-way ANOVA hypothesis
Null hypothesis
- all the means of the underlying populations are the same
Alternate hypothesis
- not all the means of the underlying populations are the same
OR
- the means of at least 2 of the underlying populations are different
Tests of normality
- Shapiro-Wilk (n<50)
2. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (n>=50)
Normality test hypothesis
Null hypothesis
- the underlying population follows normal distribution
Alternate hypothesis
- the underlying population does not follow normal distribution
Tests of equal variance
- F test
- 2 independent groups
- normal distribution - Levene’s test
- at least 2 independent groups
- normal or non-normal distribution
Levene’s Test hypothesis
Null hypothesis
- the underlying populations have equal variances
Alternate hypothesis
- NOT ALL underlying populations have equal variances
If one-way ANOVA test shows significant difference, what other test to do?
Post-hoc test
To determine where the difference lies
