Study Notes
Research Design and Statistics Lecture Notes
- The lecture covered ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) and factorial independent ANOVA.
- ANCOVA models a covariate using a linear model, linking it to regression and ANOVA.
- Factorial independent ANOVA extends independent ANOVA to account for more than one categorical predictor variable.
- The lecture includes a decision tree for choosing the correct statistical test based on data type and characteristics. This tree considers different types of measurements, numbers of predictors, types of predictor variable levels, and whether participants are the same or different for each level of predictors.
- A model for more than two means, similar to a t-test model, was presented in ANOVA to account for multiple means.
- An example dataset, "Puppies.sav", includes a control group and two treatment groups (15 minutes and 30 minutes of puppy contact). A measure of happiness was used as the dependent variable, with a covariate measuring the participant's love of puppies.
- Dummy variables were used to represent the categorical predictor variable (doses of puppy therapy), allowing for accounting for the covariate's effect on the output.
- ANCOVA assumptions include normality and homogeneity of variance (tested using Levene's test).
- The covariate and treatment effects should be independent. Predictor variables should not correlate too much with one another for reliable outcome estimations. Regression slopes across different treatment groups (levels of the categorical variable) must be similar (homogeneity of regression slopes).
- SPSS software was used for analyzing the data, with particular focus on the outcome variable, categorized predictor (dose of therapy) and the covariate (love of puppies).
- Statistical output tables (e.g., "Tests of Between-Subjects Effects", "Adjusted Means") interpret the results and show the impact of the covariate after controlling for the effects of other variables (like the dosage of therapy).
- The methods allow calculation of total, model, and residual sums of squares for different components (main effect for each predictor, interaction between the predictors), degrees of freedom, mean sums of squares, associated F-values, and the related effect size (partial n squared).
- Levene's test of equality of error variances was discussed as a critical assumption check.
- Factorial designs were reviewed, including independent, repeated measures, and mixed designs.
- In an independent factorial design, different participants are used in different groups for the study
- The impact of interactions between variables on the outcome was explored using a mathematical model and illustrated with charts.
- Calculations for different kinds of sum of squares are explained: total sum of squares, model sum of squares, the main effect of face type sum of squares, the main effect of alcohol sum of squares, and interaction sums of squares. Calculations for residual sums of squares and mean sums of squares, and F-tests are shown.
- Finally, specific calculations and how to interpret the results for the output were discussed to understand effect sizes.

Description
This quiz covers key concepts from the lecture on ANCOVA and factorial independent ANOVA. It discusses the modeling of covariates and presents a decision tree for selecting the appropriate statistical tests based on data characteristics. Practical application is illustrated with an example dataset analyzing happiness based on puppy contact duration.
