Q

why Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is needed to examine differences between multiple groups of means

Q

Problem with multiple comparisons (t-tests)

A
  • Error rate per comparison increases Type 1 Error
  • Or rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true

Anova Example - Statistical Question

A

“Is there a significant difference among the average recovery rates of the four recovery methods. If so, what is the source of that significant difference?”

44
Q
A
  • Mu equal mean of data
  • If null is true there are no significant differences in the means of the groups
  • Any differences would be due to sampling error or chance
45
Q

Running an ANOVA

A

SPSS steps:
1. Analyse
2. Compare Means
3. One-way ANOVA
4 - Place DV in the dependent list section.
5 - Place the IV in the factor section.
6. OK

46
Q

Interpreting ANOVA

A
  • First thing is to find N
  • Then the mean for each group
  • Do differences happen due to sample error
  • Is it indicative of the population
  • Next find Standard deviation
  • Each mean and Std Deviation is used in APA Write up
47
Q

Homogeneity of Variance

A
  • Levene Statistic
  • Assumes all groups have equal variance
  • Is part of ANOVA Output
  • We want p > .05 to keep Null Hypothesis
  • ANOVA works on Means so use top row
48
Q

Anova Table

A
  • Sum of Squares
  • Divided by Degrees of Freedom
  • Gives us our Mean Square
  • Mean Square gives us the Average Variability
49
Q

The F Statistic

A
  • In and of itself is not all that meaningful
  • F = 1 means not much variability
  • We want more variablity between the groups than within the groups
  • High F is good in relation to Degrees of Freedom
  • P Value says if F is significant reject the Null
    * p < .001
50
Q

Omnibus Test

A
  • F Statistic is Omnibus Test
  • Tells you something significant is happening
  • Doesn’t tell you where the difference is
51
Q

Post-Hoc Tests

A
  • Tests carried out after finding significant overall ANOVA
  • Locates the source of the Significant F
  • Are Exploratory (cf Planned Comparisons)
  • Must be significant to Justify post-hoc test
52
Q

Follow up Significant ANOVA

A

Use post-hoc tests to control familywise error rate

53
Q

Boneferroni Adjustment a/n

A

54
Q

  • Newman-Keuls test
  • Fisher’s Least Significant Difference Test (Fisher’s LSD)
55
Q

Two most common post-hoc Tests

A
  • Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference Test (Tukey’s HSD)
  • Bonferroni’s test
56
Q

Multiple Comparisons

A

57
Q

Following up Significant ANOVA

A
  • Return to Descriptives Box
  • Interested in Standard Deviation and Mean values to tell the story of significance
58
Q

Calculate Effect Size

A
  • Psychology is moving away from focusing on the p value
  • Headed to confidence intervals or effect size
  • Effect size for one-way ANOVA is call eta-squared
  • Eta-squared is similar to r value - Correlation Coefficient
59
Q

Write up ANOVA in APA Format

A
  • A one-way between-subjects ANOVA revealed an overall significant difference in recovery rates between the four types of recovery, F(3, 96) = 56.20, p < .001, η2 = .64.
  • Post-hoc analyses using Bonferroni adjustment found that the combined intervention had significantly higher recovery rates compared to all other interventions (all p < .001).
  • The physio group had significantly lower recovery rates compared to the other interventions (all p < .001).
  • There was no significant difference between the rehydration (M = 73.04, SD = 7.29) and the carbohydrates group (M = 77.36, SD = 7.09), p = .174.
  • Means and standard error are presented in Figure 1.

A
  • A one-way within-subjects ANOVA revealed that ther was an overall sidnificant difference between the ream recover rates of athletes across the three recovery methods, F(2, 78 = 12.38, p < .001. The assumpthion of sphericity was met, p = .75. Post-hoc analyses using Bonferroni adjustment showed the combined method resulted in significantly higher recovery rates than both the carbohydrates (p = .03) and the rehydration (p < .001) methods. There was however, no significant difference between the carbohydrates and rehydration techniques (p = .09)
94
Q

A

Use Wilks Lambda instead and the df are different, and the F value is different
