Chapter 14 Review

Goals of experiments
• Eliminate bias
• Reduce sampling error (increase precision and power)
![Page 12: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Design features that reduce bias
• Controls
• Random assignment to treatments
• Blinding
![Page 14: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Controls
A group which is identical to the experimental treatment in all respects
aside from the treatment itself.
![Page 15: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Randomization
The random assignment of treatments to
units in an experimental study
Breaks the association between possible confounding variables and the
explanatory variable.
![Page 16: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Blinding
• Preventing knowledge of patient and/or experimenter of which treatment is given to whom – Single blind – blind patient – Double blind – blind patient and experimenter
• Unblinded studies usually find much larger effects (sometimes threefold higher), showing the bias that results from lack of blinding

Design features that reduce the effects of sampling error
• Replication

Replication
The application of every treatment to
multiple, independent experimental units
![Page 22: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Balance
In a balanced experimental design, all
treatments have equal sample size.
![Page 23: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Blocking
The grouping of experimental units that have similar properties.
Within each block, treatments are
randomly assigned to experimental units.
![Page 25: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Extreme Treatments
• Treatment effects are easiest to detect when they are large.
• Stronger treatments can increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
• Caution: effects may not scale linearly
![Page 26: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Experiments with more than one factor
A factor is a single treatment variable whose effects are of interest to the researcher Multiple factors to: • Make more efficient use of money and
resources • Estimate effects of interaction between
factors
![Page 27: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Interaction between explanatory variables
The effect of one variable depends on the
state of a second variable
![Page 28: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example of factorial design and interaction

What if we can’t do experimental studies?
Observational studies are still useful to detect patterns and generate hypotheses
Best observational studies Minimize bias: • Controls • Randomization • Blinding Minimize sampling error: • Replication • Balance • Blocking • Extreme treatments
![Page 30: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Matching Every individual in the treatment group is paired with a control individual having the same or very similar values for the suspected confounding variables Does not account for all confounding variables (like randomization does), but only those used to match participants.

Chapter 15: ANOVA
Comparing the means of more than two groups
![Page 32: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
• Like a t-test, but can compare more than two groups
• Asks whether any of two or more means is different from any other.
• In other words, is the variance among groups greater than 0?
![Page 33: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

An ANOVA with 2 groups is mathematically equivalent to a two-tailed 2-sample t-test.

Under the null hypothesis, the sample mean of each group should vary because of sampling error. The standard deviation of sample means, when the true mean is constant, is the standard error:
![Page 38: 15. ANOVA p1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278c2271b42f604004a3e7e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Squaring the standard error, the variance among groups due to sampling error should be:
In ANOVA, we work with variances rather than standard deviations.

σ x 2 =

n+ Variance µi[ ]
If the null hypothesis is not true, the variance among groups should be equal to the variance due to sampling error plus the real variance among population means.

With ANOVA, we test whether the variance among true group means is greater than zero. We do this by asking whether the observed variance among groups is greater than expected by chance (assuming the null is true):

But, the above refer to population parameters. We must estimate F from samples with: MSgroup / MSerror

F if null hypothesis is false:
We test whether the F ratio is greater than one, as it would be if H0 is false:
€
F =n σ x
2 + Variance µi[ ]( )σ x2 >1
But we must take into account sampling error. Often, F calculated from data will be greater than one even when the null is true. Hence we must compare F to a null distribution.

Hypotheses
H0: Mean body temperature is the same for all three groups of squirrels. HA: At least one of the three is different from the others.

Compare to Fα(1),df_group,df_error
F0.05(1),2,58 = 3.15. Since 1835 > 3.15, we know P < 0.05 and we can reject the null hypothesis. The variance in sample group means is bigger than expected given the variance within sample groups. Therefore, at least one of the groups has a population mean different from another group.

Assumptions of ANOVA
(1) Random samples
(2) Normal distributions for each population
(3) Equal variances for all populations.

Kruskal-Wallis test
• A non-parametric test similar to a single factor ANOVA
• Uses the ranks of the data points
