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
