Term
As sample size increases, a chance of finding an effect _______.
Definition
increases
Term
define Power (1-β)
Definition
the ability to detect effects that are really there
Term
Increasing sample size will ______ power.
Definition
increase
Term
Increasing alpha will _______ power.
Definition
increase
Term
Increasing effect size will ______ power.
Definition
increase
Term
Increasing beta will _______ power.
Definition
decrease
Term
With a large effect size, you need _____ people to detect an effect.
Definition
less
Term
As alpha is increased, type _____ error decreased.
As beta is increased, type _____ error is decreased
Definition
As alpha is increased, type II error (β) decreased
As beta is increased, type I error (α) is decreased
Term
For Cohen's D, what are the ranges of effect sizes?
Definition
less than .20 - small effect size
around .50 - medium effect size
over .80 - large effect size
Term
Positive skew: indicated by a positive number, data trails off to the _____
Definition
left
Term
________ skew: indicated by a negative number, data trails off to the right
Definition
Negative
Term
What is the difference between a Leptokurtic and a Platokurtic distribution?
Definition
Leptokurtic kurtosis: data is clustered extremely around the mean
Platokurtic kurtosis: data is flattened out and spread out
Term
When Levene's Test is Significant what should you do and why?
Definition
Transform data and use Tukey's HSD (less conservative)
Use Welch's & Games-Howell (more conservative)
-These do not require the assumption of equal variances
Term
What will
-Transforming data and use Tukey's HSD
-Using Welch's & Games-Howel
do to error?
Definition
They will increase type II error
Term
if
Definition
you have a 14% chance of committing a type 1 error in at least one comparison
Term
How does Tukey's HSD control for error, and what are the consequences of this?
Definition
Tukey’s HSD controls for type I error because it adjusts the original
With Tukey’s you lose power because
Term
How many Orthogonal contrasts can you do?
Definition
df = number of contrasts you can do
Term
What kind of test should your run when you want to make a complex comparison?
Definition
linear contrast
Term
What kind of test should your run when you want to do small number of comparisons?
Definition
linear contrast
Term
What kind of test should your run when you need to make a large number of comparisons?
Definition
regular contrast and use Tukey's HSD
Term
If the lines of an interaction are crossed, should you interpret the main effects?
Definition
you should not interpret the main effects because the main effect is dependent on the interaction
the means differ based on the conditions
Term
What should you do if Mauchley's Test of Sphericity is not significant?
Definition
use Sphericity Assumed
Term
What does it mean when Mauchley's Test of Sphericity is significant? What should you do?
Definition
The assumption of Sphericity (Circularity) was not met.
you should use Multivariate results and (report Lambda)
or use Greenhouse-Geisser (less conservative)
Term
What test do you use to test the assumption of equal Covariance Matrices?
Definition
use Box's M test
Term
What test should you use to test the assumption of Homogeneity of Variances?
Definition
Levene's test
Term
What test should you use to test the assumption of Sphericity of Covariance Matrix?
Definition
use Mauchley's test
Term
What is a co-variate?
Definition
a co-variate controls for something to remove it’s effect
Term
What are the assumption of ANCOVA? (2)
Definition
homogeneity of regression
linearly related
Term
power is _____ when you add a covariate
Definition
increased
Term
effect size is _____ when you add a covariate
Definition
increased
it is now explained by the covariate
Term
When should you use Chi square?
Definition
when your data is:
nominal
ordinal
interval
Term
For a 2x2 Chi square, look at ______ to see the significance
Definition
Fisher’s exact test
Term
What does it mean when the risk estimate (Chi square) for x is 2.33?
Definition
if the risk estimate for x is 2.33, then that cell is 2.33 times more likely to also be y
Term
What is a Type I error?
Definition
Stating an effect exists when it actually doesn’t exist
Term
What is a Type II error?
Definition
Stating an effect doesn’t exist when it actually does exist.
Term
When doing a transformation, you want your skewness and kurtosis values to be close to _______. Why?
Definition
0
the close to 0, the more normal the distribution
Term
For positively skewed data, what transformation do you use? Why?
Definition
use natural log
it compresses positive values closer to 0
Term
If you have an ANOVA which is a 2x2, how do you control for familywise error?
Definition
not needed
Term
If you have an ANOVA which is more than 2x2, how do you control for familywise error?
Definition
Adjust with Tukey's HSD
Term
If you are doing more than 1 contrast per family, how do you control for familywise error?
Definition
not needed
Term
If you are doing more than 2+ contrasts per family, how do you control for familywise error?
Definition
-add the correction into the syntax
-manually correct by dividing alpha by the number of contrasts per family
Term
How do you report the results of a Mauchley's test?
Definition
X^2 (df) = chis-square, sig
Term
If Mauchley's test is significant, how do you report your hypothesis results?
Definition
look at the Greenhouse-Geisser results (within subjects)

F= GG (dfGG, dfGGerror) p = GG sig
Term
When making a contrast chart, where do you put the condition you are looking in and the things you are comparing?
Definition
condition you are looking in- TOP
things you are comparing- LEFT SIDE
Term
What is familywise error rate?
Definition
The likelihood of having a type I error in at least one comparison.
