2 way ANOVA and COVARIANCE will
be covered tonight
- we need to understand
this and do computations from the examples that
Hinkle uses X, Kirk and Dr O like to
use Y for the dependent variable
we
have done between groups one way analysis of
variance
- Kirk calls it completely
randomized design
- total variance =
SS between + SS within
but then the
researcher realizes there are other variables, and this is not
enough
now we are looking at two
independent variables
- can setup
hypotheses for each one
in univariate
or one way, we just look at one dependent
varaiable
- now we are looking at alpha and
beta variables
- beta creates a
non-additive product
- we have
multiplicative factors (an
interaction)
Y (the score) = mew +
alpha + beta + interaction + error
- beta
can be a blocker but also something that we can have a hypothesis
about
2 way analysis of
variance is more efficient because we also get the intraction variable (also
called factorial design with 2 treatments, 3 treatments,
etc)
- most of the time, we deal with
complex phenomena
- interactions can better
explain complex phenomena
we don't
want to test/research the obvious: looking at interaction effects can be good
because it can tell us things we don't know
yet
sometimes mathetmatical people
don't want a signficant interaction is because it can be tough to explain
that
in many of the situations, you
want to get signficance on the interaction: this shows synergy that happens when
the variables anre interacting
here
we are throwing in another variable NOT to say it is a nuisance variable (where
we just want to control for that), but because we are interested in studying
it
- this is looking at another interesting
variable that we can and do form hypotheses
about
Three R's are essential for
random
score = grand mean + treatment
effect A + treatment effect B + ineraction effect + within-cell error
effect
NID = normally and
independently distributed
create new
hypotheses for each new variable
we
not only want to know how to do the partitioning, but also account for degrees
of freedom in our ANOVA
- once you know the
grand mean, there is no freedom
- once you
collapse a random variable, it becomes a constant and there is no longer any
freedom
- always take one away from number
of subjects so you can let your values
vary
key is mean squares so you can
look at variances
- not means or just sums
of squares
- find Mean Squares by dividing
sums of squares by its own appropriate degrees of
freedom
- the last one does not have
freedom to vary for you to get the true mean, so that is why you always take one
away when you compute degrees of
freedom
degrees of freedom is an
artifact of sample size
Goal is to
arrive at the F value with a hypothesis test or
tests
- for each hypothesis I must
calculate the F
= source of interest
divided by error
This will be F
obtained rows, F obtained columns, F obtained
interaction
- for each F I will have a
critical value
Now we will
work...
2 way ANOVA on the
computer
-
independent and "treatment
variables" (according to Kirk) is the same
thing
As long as we have 2 IV we can
do 2 way ANOVA
- even if there is no
treatment
in variable view you can
assign numbers of for each
variables
Do Analyze - General Linear
Model - Univariate
- put in
DV
- put in fixed
factors
Full factorial is full
model
- always for type III keep "include
intercept in model" checked
I don't
understand clearly an example of a "random
variable"
- gender is a fixed variable,
that is understandable
MY idea: we
can record him doing this in SPSS and then put that on the
web
This is univariate because we are
using 1 DV, but multiple IVs
When you
do partial omega squares, partial etas are your
friend
- they are the same
thing
articles do not use SPSS
plots
- Dr O wants to know how to set
origin for the plot to zero
