Week 3 Lecture 3 - Independent 1-way ANOVA Flashcards
What does ANOVA mean?
analysis of variance
When is an ANOVA test used?
when we have 1 IV with more than 2 levels
What does an ANOVA test estimate?
whether the pop. means under the different levels of the IV are different
based on sample means
How is ANOVA an extension of the t-test?
F = t^2
What is the familywise error rate?
the probability that at least 1 of a “family” of comparisons, run on the same data, will result in a type 1 error
What does the familywise error rate provide?
a corrected sig. level, expressing the probability of making a type 1 error
How is the familywise error rate calculated?
a’ = 1 - (1 - a)^c
a = level of confidence we’re working to for each comparison (normally = .05)
c = number of comparisons
what type of test is the ANOVA test?
omnibus test
What is the f ratio?
variance between IV levels / variance within IV levels
If F values are close to 0 what does this mean?
small variance BIVL relative to WIVL
If F values are further from 0 what does this mean?
large variance BIVL relative to WIVL
What contributes to variance BIVL?
- manipulation of IV
- individual difference
- experimental error (random and constant error)
What contributes to variance WIVL?
- individual differences
- experimental error (random error)
How do you calculate the grand mean?
Sum of IV level means, divided by the number of IV levels
How is variance partitioned?
1.) calc means for each IV level
2.) calc the grand mean –> sum of IV level means divided by no. of IV levels
3.) Calc WIVL variance –> sum of squared differences between individual values and the corresponding IV level means
4.) calc BIVL variance –> sum of squared differences between each IV level mean and the grand mean
