Univariate ANOVAs and Nonparametrics Flashcards
(181 cards)
what are the different ANOVAs, univariable?
one way ANOVA
repeated measures ANOVA (single factor)
what are the different nonparametric tests of ANOVAs?
Kruskal-Wallis test
Friedman test
how do we compare data from more than 2 groups?
ANOVA
if we have three groups: people with Associates, Bachlors and no degree, what would our ANOVA test hypothesis be if we expect different mean scores among the groups?
mu1=mean of group 1 (Associates
mu2=mean of group 2 (Bachelors)
mu3=mean of group 3 (no degree)
H0: mu1=mu2=mu3
Ha: some mui are different
should we conduct multiple independent samples t tests for every pairing of groups if we have a sample with more than 2 groups?
no!
what are the problems with using multiple independent t tests for a sample with more than 2 groups?
this won’t directly evaluate the H0 vs Ha, just bits and pieces of it
this becomes more complex with larger #s of groups (or with 10 groups, there are 45 pairings)
compounding type 1 error (BIGGEST PROBLEM)
what is the biggest problem with running multiple independent t tests with a sample of more than 2 groups?
compounding type 1 error
what is an example of compounding type 1 error?
when you have 3 tests with 5% of type 1 error, this becomes a 14% chance of type 1 error in any of the three
what is family wise error rate (FWER)?
the probability of at least one type 1 error on a group of tests (the compounding type 1 error)
t/f: FWER becomes worse with more pairings
true
when we do multiple independent t tests for multiple groups, we want to test if Mu1=mu2=mu3…, but what we end up testing is:
mu1=mu2
mu1=mu3
mu2=mu3
t/f: in order to test H0 of more than 2 groups, pair off groups and conduct several independent samples t tests
false!!! do not do this!!!
what is the method for controlling FWER?
ANOVA
what is analysis of variance (ANOVA)?
the general procedure for making statistical comparisons of many types based on “breaking down” simple variance calculations
what is the numerator of the equation for sample variance?
sum of (xi-x bar) squared
the numerator of the equation for sample variance is equal to what?
sums of squares
calculating the sum of squares around a single, overall mean makes sense for one group, what is a better measure of overall dispersion for groups w/potentially dif means?
doing two “pieces” in sum of squares based around the group means and global/grand mean
what are the 2 pieces in sum of squares for multiple groups?
systematic variation
random variation
what is systematic variation?
differences among groups (deviations from the grand/global mean to group mean)
what is random variation?
natural randomness (deviation of data from the group means)
t/f: there are 2 sources of deviation from the overall mean
true
what are the 2 sources of deviation from the overall mean?
systematic deviation
random deviation
what is systematic deviation?
group averages to the overall average
what is random deviation?
observations (data points) to group averages
