MVDA - analysis of variance

Week 2: Analysis of variance (ANOVA)

ANOVA can be done when the independent variables are nominal level and the dependent variable is interval level.

Research question: What is the effect of X1 and X2 on Y?

Check the assumptions of homogeneity of the variances and normality of the residuals.

Homogeneity: Check Levene’s test. If non-significant, then the assumption is violated

Normality: are residuals normally distributed on the histogram? If no, the assumption is violated

What are the group sizes? Discuss robustness of the F tests with respect to possible violations of the assumptions.

If group size is larger than 15, then the F test is robust for non-normality. The F test is robust to unequal group variances if the maximum number of people in a subgroup divided by the minimum number of people is smaller than 1.5.

What are the null and alternative hypotheses to test the ANOVA model?

H0:μ11=μ12=μ21=μ22

Ha: at least two μij not equal

Can the null hypothesis be rejected? If so, which effects are significant?

If the average of different groups is different, the H0 can be rejected. Here report the F statistic with the degrees of freedom and p value. For example: F(3,164) = 12.679,p < .001

How much variance of test score is explained by the total model and by each individual effect?

When we want to know how much variance is explained by the total model we look at R2. This can be seen written at the bottom of the Tests of Between-Subjects Effect table or can be calculated by dividing the Sum of Square (SS) of the corrected model by the Sum of Square of the total.

The individual contribution can be calculated by dividing the SS of the individual coefficient by the SS of the corrected total.

  • Example: the SS of a method is 146.720. The SS of the corrected model is 1429.661. We then divide the former by the latter and we get: .103. The way we would mark the contribution of method would be then: η2Method=.102

Using and finding summaries, study notes en practice exams on JoHo WorldSupporter

There are several ways to navigate the large amount of summaries, study notes en practice exams on JoHo WorldSupporter.

  1. Use the menu above every page to go to one of the main starting pages
    • Starting pages: for some fields of study and some university curricula editors have created (start) magazines where customised selections of summaries are put together to smoothen navigation. When you have found a magazine of your likings, add that page to your favorites so you can easily go to that starting point directly from your profile during future visits. Below you will find some start magazines per field of study
  2. Use the topics and taxonomy terms
    • The topics and taxonomy of the study and working fields gives you insight in the amount of summaries that are tagged by authors on specific subjects. This type of navigation can help find summaries that you could have missed when just using the search tools. Tags are organised per field of study and per study institution. Note: not all content is tagged thoroughly, so when this approach doesn't give the results you were looking for, please check the search tool as back up
  3. Check or follow your (study) organizations:
    • by checking or using your study organizations you are likely to discover all relevant study materials.
    • this option is only available trough partner organizations
  4. Check or follow authors or other WorldSupporters
    • by following individual users, authors  you are likely to discover more relevant study materials.
  5. Use the Search tools
    • 'Quick & Easy'- not very elegant but the fastest way to find a specific summary of a book or study assistance with a specific course or subject.
    • The search tool is also available at the bottom of most pages
