Term
analysis of variance
Definition
used to determine if there are significant differences between 3 o more means
Term
factor
Definition
IV
Term
variances
Definition
mean values/ mean square difference
Term
F
Definition
variance in numerator/variance in denomenator
Term
Post Hoc
Definition
Orthogonal comparison- means in different directions do this test
Term
Post Hoc
Definition
accounts for type 1 error
Term
type 1 error
Definition
using the G for only 2 groups in post hoc helps control for this
Term
analyses of variance in which more than one factor is employed, test for sig diff b/t groups for each factor and interactions, and instead of only 1 SS, we now have 3
Definition
factorial designs
Term
Main effects
Definition
the effect of solely the IV ( A or B)
Term
correlation
Definition

used with 2 or more variables that exist in the real world so there is no experimental manipulation, no IV, no DV.

desribes and measures the direction and degree of relationship b/t 2 or more variables. gather data on individuals instead of testing differences b/t means of diff groups

Term
df for pearson's coefficient
Definition
n-2
Term
regression line
Definition
measure of central tendency for data that is plotted, predict values of other variables, high correlation lets it predict, 
Term
least squares method
Definition
linear regression method
Term
F ratio
Definition
variance (differences) b/t sample means over variances with no treatment effect
Term
systematic differences
Definition
what is being accounted for in numerator of Anova
Term
pairwise comparisons
Definition
what we do in posthoc
Term
main effect
Definition
mean difference describes this
Term
correlational studies
Definition
measures direction of relationship, form of relationship, and strength/consitency of relationship
Term
pearson's r
Definition
degree which x and y vary together/ how they vary separately
Term
pearson correlation 
Definition
used for prediction, validity, reliability, theory verification
Term
chi square
Definition

non parametric tests since they make few if any assumptions about the population distribution

less sensitive than parametric tests since there is a better chance of type 2 error

uses nominal and ordinal data

Term
chi square goodness of fit
Definition
 data values that are known
Term
chi square for independence
Definition
same test as goodness of fit but different purpose, see if there is a difference between 2 groups on a particular variable.
Term
t test
Definition
prefer over chi square
Term
chi square of independence
Definition
more likely to not see an effect
Term
data/ types of data
Definition
the difference b/t goodness of fit and independence
