WS ANOVA

6 important questions on WS ANOVA

What are planned contrasts?

Hypotheses driven comparisons between group means, constructed before data are collected.

Partioning variance into smaller portions
 
More power than post-hoc tests

What are the 5 rules for planned contrasts?

1. Sensible comparisons
2. Groups coded with + weight will be compared with - weights
3. The sum of weights for a comparison should be zero
4. If it is not involved in a comparison, code it 0
5. Weights in one chunk of variation should be equal to number of groups in the opposite chunk of variation

When are contrasts independent/orthogonal?

when the sum of the products of all contrasts =0

What is the problem with an ANOVA for repeated measures?

Independence assumption is violated, therefore the relationship between pairs of experimental conditions is similar-> sphericity

What is the assumption of sphericity?

Equality of variances of the differences between experimental conditions (At least three conditions)

What do you do if an ANOVA is significant in repeated measures?

Post-hoc testing

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
