Q

Three things about ANOVA (suff besides assumptions):

A
  1. •ANOVA determines whether the means of >2 samples are different
  2. •Was developed to prevent Type 1 error from using multiple t-tests
  3. •ANOVA partitions total variance within a sample (sst) into two sources: a treatment effect (between the groups) and unexplained sources of variation, or error variation, among the subjects (within the groups)

Q

T-Stat for T-Test

A
  • •T-stat= difference in means between groups/variance between groups.
    • T-stat = (x-bar2 - x-bar1)/s2
  • •Increased t-stat values=increased probability of having a significant result
    • •Greater mean difference with less variance equates to a higher t-stat
  • •Compare the t-stat to a critical value (located in the appendix) to determine whether it is significant at the predetermined alpha level
    • (will produce p-number that can show if results are statistically significant or not)

Q

Meaning of ANOVA Assumption:
•Scores are independent- not correlated

A

They are not too related. its hard to explain without going into too much. You will meet that.

If you have two scores that are similar. It could be that they are correlated, but that hardly ever happens.

We don’t have to worry about this right now.

Q

What is the problem with running multiple t-tests

A
  1. Huynh and Feldt,
  2. Greenhouse- Geisser
27
Q

A

False!

You can use it for 2 things:

same people before and aftor

or two different people one time

29
Q

What else is needed with ANOVA to find which variables are have significant variables?

A

Post hoc testing

Because ANOVA just tells you there are easter eggs out there (there are significant relationships), but not where they are (what relationships are significant)

31
Q

Do you want T-stat to be high or low?

A

Higher the better

32
Q

If we have a high f-stat, what will p-value do?

A

it will be low

33
Q

•Repeated Measures (ANOVA type)

A
  • •Sphericity: similar to homogeneity of variance for repeated measures
    • •Test using Mauchly’s test- want a nonsignificant result
      • •Available corrections:
      • •Huynh and Feldt, Greenhouse- Geisser
35
Q

ANOVA: everything

A
  • ANOVA determines whether the means of >2 samples are different
  • Was developed to prevent Type 1 error from using multiple t-tests
  • ANOVA partitions total variance within a sample (sst) into two sources: a treatment effect (between the groups) and unexplained sources of variation, or error variation, among the subjects (within the groups)
  • Assumptions:
    • Data is measured at least at the interval level
    • Scores are independent- not correlated
    • Normality
    • Homogeneity of variance- only really a problem with unequal sample sizes
      • Independent t-test
36
Q

Draw a Histogram

A
38
Q

Do we want sphericity to be significant or non-significant?

A

we want it to be non-significant (because we want individuals in a group to be similar)

Just like levines.

Can correct for significance with the following methods (don’t have to know what they are):

  • •Huynh and Feldt, Greenhouse- Geisser
39
Q

scatter plots are used in ______ analyses.

41
Q

Sum of Squares

A

•Sum of squares (ss): sum of (X-Xbar)2

A

a stats test of normality

49
Q

why did they do the standard deviation?

A

So we would have a standard units of measure

Same units of measure as used in original measurements

so if you measured ROM in degrees, the SD will be in degrees too?

50
Q

Four ANOVA assumptions:

ANOVA!

(if you run several t-tests, you increase the liklihood of getting a significan result, so you can get a type I error)

Why did mean square come about?

A

It came about from the probelm of sample size effecting sum of squares

It basically makes it an average value

This is called true variance!!

Used for ANOVA. Basically calculated the same as t-stat (even though there are some differences below)

Test statistic: F-stat
