categorical independent; continuous dependent
ANOVA is a technique to assess how one or more __________ variables affect a __________ variable.
levels
-the different categories of a factor
factors
-nominal variables that are independent
one-way ANOVA
-involves a comparison of several (two or more) population means
there is no difference in group means
Null hypothesis of One-Way ANOVA?
the group means are not all equal
Alternative hypothesis of One-Way ANOVA?
Omnibus test
-the test of the null in a one-way anova test.
F; compares estimates of the ratio of variance estimates
ANOVA tests the means of a sample. T/F? Correct if false.
f distribution
What kind of distribution will an ANOVA have if the null hypothesis turns out to be true?
normal distribution, homogeneity of variance, independent observations
When we perform a t-test, what assumptions must be true?
Multiple-comparison procedures
-when we reject the null hypothesis of an ANOVA test, we employ this statistical test to determine which specific differences exist among the population means
turkey's hsd, Bonferroni, Scheffe's method
Common MCPs?
MCP controls the possibility of making a type 1 error
Why do we employ the MCP instead of running several t-tests?
Effect modification
-this occurs when the association between an independent variable of interest(exposure) and a health outcome(dependent variable) is depending on the value of one or more other variables called effect modifiers.
Subgroup analysis
-a direct examination of whether the treatment effect depends on the patient subgroups
2-way anova
is used to estimate how the mean of a quantitative variable changes according to the levels of two categorical variables.
factorial design
A research design with two or more categorical independent variables, each studied at two or more levels is called _________.
repeated-measures anova
like the paired t test, can be used to test the equality of means when all members of a random sample are measured under a number of different conditions.
longitudinal
Repeated-measures ANOVA are often employed in what kind of studies?
