Summa Week 9 Flashcards
When we want to explore whether the effects of different treatments influence the dependent measure, we can use tests of
t-test - two means, and one predictor and one independent variable
ANOVA - an extension of t-test
- compares several means
- can manipulate lots of IVs
If we want to compare several means why don’t we compare pairs of means with t-tests?
can’t look at several independent variables and inflates the Type I error rate
What is PC?
error rate per comparison
PC is the prob of making a ______ error on a ____ comparison, assuming the null hypothesis is ____
Type I
single
true
If alpha = 0.05, there is a 5% chance that you are rejecting the null hypothesis _______
incorrectly
If we ran a bunch of t-tests of a = .05 then the per comparison error rate would be
.05
FW?
error rate familywise
FW is the prob of _____ rejecting at least one null hypothesis in a family of c comparisons, assuming that each of the c null hypothesis is ____ in a set (or family) of comparisons
incorrectly
true
Familywise alpha is
1-(1 - a’)^c
FW where a’ is the
per comparison error rate
FW where c is the
number of comparisons
When we have k = 6 (k is the number of experimental conditions), we will have c =
c = 6*(6-1)/2 = 15 comparisons
If we have a error rate per comparison of a’ = .05, then familywise alpha is
FW = 1 - (1-.05)^15 = .537
The aim of ANOVA is to determine if treatment effect is present by comparing ______ and _______ _____
errors
treatment effect
What is error also known as?
random variance
What are random errors?
individual differences
What are measurement errors?
problems of accurately collecting data
What is systematic variance?
treatment effect, the action of the IV
When the population means are equal, the differences among the group means will reflect the operation of _________ _____ alone (no ______ _______)
experimental error
treatment effect
What is the theory of ANOVA?
SS total = SS treatment + SS error
SS total =
total sum of squares = variability between scores
SS treatment =
model sum of squares - variability due to the experimental manipulation
SSerror =
residual sum of squares - variability due to individual differences in performance
What is the F-ratio?
MStreatment/MSerror
If the model explains a lot more variability than it can’t explain then the experimental manipulation has had a _______ _______ on the outcome (DV)
significant effect on the outcome
What is within-groups variability?
within-groups is intragroup
what is between-groups variability?
between-groups is intergroup
How many degrees of freedom impact the shape of the F distribution?
2
Is ANOVA two-tailed?
No, only positive
Like a t-test, ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that the ______ are the same
means
What is the experimental hypothesis?
means differ
What type of test is ANOVA?
an Omnibus test
Omnibus tests are described as
test for overall difference between groups
group means are different
significant difference is not determined
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA:
RANDOM SAMPLING
each sample is a random sample from its population
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA: random sampling robustness?
considered inappropriate to conduct if violated, but some argue it is robust if violated
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA: independence of cases
each case is NOT influences by other cases, and NOT robust to violations
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA: normality
the DV is normally distributed in each pop, provided the sample size (N) is large and the n of the groups is EQUAL
What is assumed for 1-way ANOVA to be robust?
sample size is large, and group sizes are equal
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA: HoV
the degree of variability in the pop are equivalent
Assumptions for 1-way ANOVA: HoV robustness
robust to violations if the sample size is large and groups are about equal
What are the 2 types of means of interest in ANOVA?
marginal means (overall mean of each group) and the Grand Mean, or M..
What is the sum of squares for SStotal
the difference of the individual scores and the marginal means (within/sserror) and the marginal means and the grand mean (between/sstreatment)
What is df for sstreatment?
df = k-1
What is df for error?
df = N - k
What is df for sstotal?
df = N -1
What is the formula for ANOVA?
F(dfbetween, dfwithin) = MStreatment/MSerror
What is MStreatment?
SStreatment / dftreatment = MStreatment
What is MSerror?
SSerror/dferror = MSerror
What is SS total?
SSbetween (sum of squares of the model) + SSwithin (sum of squares of individual differences)
If F value is _____ than F Critical value, we can reject our ___ hypothesis and conclude that not all group/sample ________ are equal
greater
null
means
What is a condition of ANOVA?
we don’t know where exactly the differences lie in calculations
