Cards

Term
Advantages of factorial design
Definition

(1) uses half the number of subjects

(2) Maintains same rate of Type 1 error

(3) Can look at interactions

Term
Assumptions of two factor ANOVA
Definition

(1) Each score is influenced by both independent variables

(2) These influences can be separated out by margins

(3) variance is not affected by treatments

Term

What does an interaction measure?

Definition
the effect of one independent variable depends on the level of the other independent variable
Term

Advantages of Within ANOVA

Definition

The standard deviation will be smaller than a between subj design

 

Term

Size of Denominator of F effects on power

Definition
If the denominator of F is smaller than the F term is bigger, power is greate (and vice versa)
Term
What is SSw in Within ANOVA?
Definition
0, because there is only one score per cell
Term

Within ANOVA: SSw is replaced with what?

Definition
SSint
Term
Does Within ANOVA increase power?
Definition

Yes, because it reduces intrinsic variablity

Term

True or False

Interactions reflect nonlinear effects of independent variables

Definition

True

Term

True or False

Main effects reflect linear summationof the effects of independent variables

Definition
True
Term
What does the column factor represent in Within ANOVA?
Definition
the effects of the treatmet averaged across subjects
Term

What does the row factor reflect in regular two factor ANOVA?

 

Definition
The effect of one independent variable averaged across the other
Term
What does the row factor reflect in Within subjects ANOVA?
Definition
the overall differences between subjects averaged across treatments
Term
What does the interaction term measure in Within ANOVA?
Definition

any differences in the effects of specific treatment conditions on specific subjects

Term
If subject variablity increases in regular ANOVA, what happens to SSw and SSbet?
Definition
SSw increases, SSbet decreases
Term

If subject variability increases in Within ANOVA what happens to the SSbet and SSw?

 

Definition
SSw decreases, SSbet increases
Term
What are the three types of ANOVA
Definition

One factor (one way) ANOVA

Factorial ANOVA

Repeated Measures (within subjects) ANOVA

Term
Chi Square test is used for what?
Definition

(1) Experiments with nominal variables

(2) To analyze proportional results

Term
What information does the Chi square tell us?
Definition

Whether the frequencies observed in our experiment are significant or due to chance

Term

The distribution of the Chi Square under the null depends on what?

Definition
the number of categories in the experiment
Term
What are the two types of Chi square test?
Definition
Goodness of fit and Test of Independence
Term
What does the Goodness of Fit test measure?
Definition
whether the observed frequencies of the experiment are consistent with a specific distribution
Term
What does a Chi Square test for independence measure?
Definition
whether two independent variables are really dependent
Term
When is the Chi Square test for Indpendence used?
Definition
When there is more than one nominal level independent variable
Term
True or False. The Goodness of Fit test is really a test for interactions.
Definition
False. The Chi Square test for independence is a test for interactions
Term

What are the properties of the Chi Square Distribution (under the null)?

Definition

(1) The mean of the disribution=number of degrees of freeedom

(2) the variance= 2 times df

(3) As the df gets bigger, the Chi Square approaches a normal.

Term
How does the Chi Square's critical value differ from the F and T critical values?
Definition

Chi Square: As the df increases, the critical value increases

T and F: As the df decreases the critical value decreases

Term
Assumptions of ANOVA and T test are?
Definition

(1) population is normal

(2) groups are sampled randomly

(3) the treatment only changes the means, not the variances

Term
What happens if the assumptions of ANOVA and the t test are violated?
Definition

Increase in type 2 error, sometimes type 1

Term

What are the possible reasons for normality being violated?

Definition

(1) the dependent variable is not distributed normally

(2)floor/ceiling effects

(3) distribution is skewed

(4) sample comes from more than one population

(5) dependent variable is influenced by direct random effects

(6) noise is not normally distributed

Term
How do we deal with non-normal distributions?
Definition

(1) Data transformation

(2) Nonparametric tests

Term
What are all the non-parametric tests?
Definition

(1) rank order

(2) permutation/randomization tests

(3) Mann Whitney U

(4) Kruskal Wallis H

(5) Wilkoxen signed rank test

 

Term

What data transformation should you use for positively skewed data?

 

Definition
logarithmic, square root, or other root transformations
Term
What are the data transformations you should use for negatively skewed data?
Definition
square or other power transformations
Term

How do we estimate the appropiate data transformation to use on our data?

Definition

(1) operate on the dependent variable

(2) plot histogram

(3)guess which data transformation you should use

(4)apply transformation

(5) plot distribution

(6) check that signal and noise is normal

 

Term

Constraints on transformations

 

Definition

(1) same transformation must be applied to all groups in the experiment

(2) apply it before hypothesis testing

(3) transformation can't affect variance

(4) transformation cannot change the ranks

 

Term
when are rank order tests used?
Definition
when data is non-normal or ordinal
Term
Ranks preserve the order of scores, but do not preserve __________
Definition
the magnitude of the scores
Term
True or False. Converting to ranks is done across scores
Definition
True
Term
If the assumptions of a parametric test are met, will using a nonparametric test instead, increase or decrease power?
Definition
decrease. if the assumptions were not met, it would increase power
Term

Advantages of randomization

Definition

(1) it doesn't assume your population is normal

(2) will give the correct significance value no matter the population distribution

(3) if population is normal, randomization and a conventional test will give same level of significance

Term
Limits of randomization
Definition

(1) if n is low can't do many permutations

(2) we can only make conclusions about the sample NOT the population

Term

Why do we use bootstrapping?

Definition

To get a better estimate of the population parameter.

Term
What is the main assumption of bootstapping?
Definition
That our sample is the best estimate of the population, if you don't have other information
Term
Bootstrap Requirements for the estimated parameter
Definition

(1) its normally distributed

(2) its unbiased

(3) the standard deviation is a good estimate after resampling

Term
The difference between randomization and bootstrapping?
Definition

(1)bootstrapping samples with replacement

 

Term

What is the difference between sampling with replacement in bootstrapping and shuffling scores?

Definition

If you sample with replacement the scores will repeat, shuffling your scores uses the exact same scores in different order

Term
What is the difference between multiple regression and linear regression?
Definition

There is more than one independent variable

Term
Assumptions of multiple regression
Definition

(1) x variables are independent

(2) the coefficients are used the same as in linear regression

(3) the noise is normally distributed

(4) variance is the same for all the data points

Term

What test do we use to see if the coefficients in a regression equation is statistically significant?

Definition
T test (one for each coefficient)
Term
What is partial correlation?
Definition

Partial correlation is the relationship between two variables with the effects of the others removed.

Term
What is the standardized regression coefficient?
Definition

Your 'r' if you normalized your y data

Term
How do you turn F into t?
Definition
Square F
Term
If F is significant, will a t test and an 'r' also be significant?
Definition

Yes. If there are only two groups

Term

What is the general linear model?

Definition

It refers to the way ANOVA can be turned into regression.

Term
Assumptions of the general linear model...
Definition

(1) treatment only shifts the means, not the variance

(2) samples are randomly selected

(3) the variance is the same for all the predictors (coefficients)
