Q

Tests for normality

A
  • Shapiro-Wilk
  • Kolmogorov-Smirnov
  • Anderson-Darling

(H0 for all is that the distribution is normal)

Q

One sample t-test

A

Compares a sample mean to a prestipulated value (population mean)

H0 is that the means are equal

Q

Result for one-tailed t-test
(t)

A

Values of t are normally distributed, so closer to 0 the closer the chance is to having the same mean
Distribution of t can be calculated using df of sample
Can be made non-directional by looking for the probability of the modulus of t

Q

Normality in ANOVA

A

Assumes normality but fairly robust if sample sizes and variances are similar.
If not then use Kruskall-wallis

Q

Equation for one-way ANOVA

A

F = variance between group means / average variance within groups
If groups are from the same population F should = 1

17
Q

Hypotheses of one-way ANOVA

A
  • Null hypothesis – population means are equal
  • Alternative hypothesis – at least one mean is not equal.
18
Q

Tukeys HSD test

A
  1. Post-Hoc test
  2. Popular but conservative
  3. Significant values are under 0.05
19
Q

R^2

A

Indicates how much of the variance in observations can be explained by the model

R = SS[between]/SS[total]

20
Q

SS

A

Sum of Squares = Sum (x-x(bar))^2

21
Q

Two-way ANOVA

A

Tests whether two factors affect the dependent variable independently or if they interact with each other

22
Q

Hypotheses of the two-way anova

A

Null 1: effect is the same height at all factor 1
Null 2: effect is the same height at all factor 2
Null 3: the effect of one factor is the same across all levels of the other factor.

23
Q

Scaling interaction

A

The magnitude of the effect of one variable depends on the strength of the other variable.

24
Q

Crossing interaction

A

the effect of one variable changes depending on the level of the other. The lines cross, indicating that the presence of both limits the effects of both.

25
Q

Analysis of Covariance
ANCOVA

A

Used when we want to determine the effect of factors (discrete variables) and covariates (continuous variables) on dependent variables
Improves detection of factors by removing variance (error)

26
Q

Covariate

A

A variable that you thought would affect the dependent variables, but you can’t manipulate, but you want to account for.

26
Q

Error Variability

A

Comes from the subject within group deviation from the mean of the group.
Is smaller than the original error, uses the distance from regression line rather than from mean.
It is calculated on the basis of the sum of squares.

27
Q

Assumptions of ANCOVA

A
  1. Normality of treatment levels
  2. Independence of variance estimates
  3. Other same assumptions as with ANOVA
  4. Linear regression of covariables
  5. Linear regression is the same for both groups (homogeneity)
28
Q

In regression the residual sum of squares is…

A

… is based on the deviation of score from the regression line
* The residual sum of squares will be smaller than the unadjusted sum of squares.
* This regression shrinks the variance of each data group so that they can be compared better

29
Q

Fixed Effects

A

If I repeated the experiment would I use the same values?
Values stated in the hypothesis.

30
Q

Random Effects

A

Exact values of this don’t matter, we could use any of a selection.
Look at changes over a range of temperatures for example.

31
Q

Why do random vs fixed effects matter?

A

In addition to the error in a test or model there is also error in the random sampling of temperatures for example.
It will effect whether or not something is significant, software can be used to take this into account.
