Review of some symbols for
different tests, one-way ANOVA
- we will
review some of the highlights from Chapter 5 of the Kirk book (we will not get a
copy)
after finding a significant F,
we do multiple comparison procedures for
- we have
discussed:
--
Tukey
--
Tukey-Kramer
--
SNK
--
Fisher-Hayter
--
LISD
--
Scheffe
pairwise or complex
comparisons
- wanted to test Mew1 - Mew2 =
0, that is one individual comparison we could
test
- these are pairwise comparisons (the
Tabachnick book calls these CONTRASTS)
--
some experimental design books say for every contrast, we will call it psi (see
hand notes)
sum of coefficients of
contrasts should be a zero
- these are they
symbols we use (psi)
- these are
a-posteriori contrasts
If you do all
of the contrasts, you are "going fishing" rather than targeting (tailoring the
way you question certain things)
# of
pairwise comparisons = [J (j-1)] /
2
Orthangonal contrasts can be used
for interesting pairwise contrasts
- a zero
gives me orthagonality (they are
unrelated)
you don't want to do
pairwise comparisons because of all the
overlap
- so we want to customize the way
we ask the question
- like just answer 2
pairwise comparisons / hypotheses, and look at orthagonal relationships to do
that
orthagonality: there is no
relationship
repeated measures design
involve pretest and posttest
so you
can ask more customized questions than doing all the pairwise
comparisons
- this is called tailored
hypothesis testing
- this gives you more
power because you are hypothesis testing just a
few
- still trying to identify where the
significance is located
you have to
custom program the syntax into the computer when you want to ask customized
questions
pairwise comparisons equate
to just a fishing expedition
whatever
is interesting to you is what you are going to
test
- the resarch interests drive the
questions that you are investigations
- the
statistics should not drive what you
do
to test for orthagonality, it is
mainly a process of playing with the
coefficients
you never test the
obvious: test what you don't know
- ask
important questions with your
data
experimental design is basically
about finding or creating a methodology that can be
replicated
- target specific
groups
no one in biology at a high
level is doing pairwise comparisons
- I
can't spend more time on this because you don't have chapter 5 from the Kirk
book
From Kirk book chapter 4, Table
4.1-2
- shows recommended procedures when
ssumptionis are tenable
We will
discuss the following now:
-
Tukey
-
Newman-Kewls
-
Fisher-Hayter
Scheffe must be used
for a more complex hypothesis that goes beyond just pairwise
comparisons
- you can group your data in
interesting ways to identify new things /
trends
-- you will always use the AVERAGE
of your variable results for comparison, not just the
sum
Fisher-Hayter
-
each contrast (phi) is going to have a unique standard error (psi hat: a pair of
means)
posthoc power comes from using
the pooled variance: the mean of squares between
