ANOVA
- analysis of variance
- Between subjects one way analysis of variance
- used when IVs have more than 2 levels
- compares means from 3+ independent samples
- testing mean differences but basing the test around variance between means
factor
- IV in ANOVA
or - in a description of an experimental design
levels of a factor
- individual conditions comprising a factor
single factor experiment
- experiment with one IV
one way ANOVA
- ANOVA with a single factor
- aka single factor ANOVA
two factor experiment
- experiment w two IVs
Two way ANOVA
- ANOVA with two factors
- aka two factor ANOVA
t or f: a one way ANOVA tests two or more differences among means
false, its determining if there is at least one mean difference among levels of the IV
ANOVA is used to test mean differences, but its calculations are based on _____
- variances (size of difference among scores)
- also it explains sources of the variability
total variabilities can be divided into ______ and ____ treatments
- between treatment conditions variability: some variability is possibly due to differences between conditions
- within: some variability exist within each condition
reasons for between treatment variability
- treatment effect: manipulation distinguishing between conditions could influence scores
- individual differences: differences in backgrounds/abilities/attributes/circumstances of individual ppl
- experimental error: chance errors that occur when measuring construct of interest, researchers try to minimize it
reasons for within treatment variability (drawing two scores from the same condition)
- individual differences: differences in backgrounds/abilities/attributes/circumstances of individuals
- experimental error: chance errors that occur when measuring construct of interest
what test statistic associated w an ANOVA
- F-ratio statistic (f-test)
- give estimate and their ratio
f test conceptual formula
f=variance between/variance within treatments
or
f=signal/noise
f test as a source of variance
f= treatment effect + individual diff + experimental error/ individual diff + experimental error
denominator of the f test
- measures uncontrolled and unexplained variability in scores
- often called error term
numerator in f test
- measures same variability as denominator but also variability arising from systemic influences (treatment/condition effect)
symbols used in ANOVA calculations
- k: number of levels in a factor
- n: sample size for specific condition
- N: sample size for entire study
- T: sum of scores w/in a specific condition
- G: sum of all scores in experiment
- SS: sum of squares
S^2= _____
SS/n-1
∑
summation (addition of a serious of numbers)
examples of effect sizes
- cohen’s d: effect size, difference between two means/S (standard deviation)
- pearson’s r correlation coefficient: effect size that also shows the strength and direction between 2 cont. variables. ranges from -1 to 0 to 1
- odds ratio: ratio that determines the odds of an event occurring
bayesian statistics
- uses newly collected data to update a hypothesis
- looks at the probability of the hypothesis being true based on the data collected
bayes’ theorem
- conditional probability of two events can be obtained from their individual probabilities and the inverse conditional probability
= p(a/b)=p(a/b)x p(a)/p(b)
bayes factor
degree of which beliefs changed due to data
