  1. Part IVSignificantly DifferentUsing Inferential Statistics Chapter 12  Two Groups Too Many? Try Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

  2. What you will learn in Chapter 12 • What Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is and when it is appropriate to use • How to compute the F statistic • How to interpret the F statistic • How to use SPSS to complete an ANOVA • single factor design

  3. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) • Used when more than two group means are being tested simultaneously • Group means differ from one another on a particular score / variable • Example: DV = GRE Scores & IV = Ethnicity • Test statistic = F test • R.A. Fisher, creator

  4. Path to Wisdom & Knowledge • How do I know if ANOVA is the right test?

  5. Different Flavors of ANOVA • ANOVA examines the variance between groups and the variances within groups • These variances are then compared against each other • Similar to t Test…only in this case you have more than two groups • One-way ANOVA • Simple ANOVA • Single factor (grouping variable)

  6. More Complicated ANOVA • Factorial Design • More than one treatment/factor examined • Multiple Independent Variables • One Dependent Variable • Example – 3x2 factorial design

  7. Computing the F Statistic • Rationale…want the within group variance to be small and the between group variance large in order to find significance.

  8. Hypotheses • Null hypothesis • Research hypothesis

  9. One-Way ANOVA • Computing the Important Values

  10. Source Table Note: F value for two group is the same at t2

  11. Degrees of Freedom (df) • Numerator • Number of groups minus one • k-1 • 3 groups --- 3 – 1 = 2 • Denominator • Total number of observations minus number of groups • N-K • 30 participants – 3 = 27 Represented: F (2, 27)

  12. How to Interpret • F (2,27) = 8.80, p < .05 • F = test statistic • 2,27 = df between groups & df within groups • {Ah ha…3 groups and 30 total scores examined} • 8.80 = obtained value • Which we compared to the critical value • p < .05 = probability less than 5% that null hypothesis is true • Meaning the obtained value is GREATER than the critical value

  13. Omnibus Test • F test is an “omnibus test” and only tells you that a difference exist • Must conduct follow-up t tests to find out where the difference is… • BUT…Type I error increases with every follow-up test / possible comparison made • 1 – (1 – alpha)k • Where k = number of possible comparisons

  14. Using the Computer • SPSS and the One-Way ANOVA

  15. SPSS Output • What does it all mean?

  16. Post Hoc Comparison

  17. Glossary Terms to Know • Analysis of variance • Simple ANOVA • One-way ANOVA • Factorial design • Omnibus test • Post Hoc comparisons • Source table
