STIMULUS EXAMPLE:

Personal computer presents stimulus, and person responds.

Study of how RESPONSE TIME is effected by a WARNING given prior to the stimulus:

2-factors of interest:

Warning Type --- auditory or visual

Time between warning and stimulus -- 5 sec, 10 sec, or 15 sec.

Testing Main Effects:Testing Main Effects:

For each main effect (i.e. A and B)

0H- test

0H- if is rejected, compare marginal means

using an appropriate procedure (eg. LSD or BON)

Note: I’ll use LSD from this point on unless otherwise noted.

Test for Interaction:

Therefore we reject the null hypothesis of no interaction - and conclude that there is an interaction between temperature and catalyst.

Thus, we DO NOT test main effects

Since there is a significant interaction, we do not test for main effects!

- instead compare “Cell Means”

- NOTE: interaction plot is a plot of the cell means

Comparing Cell Means:Comparing Cell Means:

If there is significant interaction, then we compare the a x b cell means using the criteria below.

Procedure similar to that for comparing marginal means:

Step 2.(a) IF there IS NOT a significant interaction - test the main effects

(b) IF there IS a significant interaction - compare a x b cell means (by hand)

Main Idea:

We are trying to determine whether the factors effect the response either individually or collectively.

Homework Assignment

Due March 1, 2005

15.41, page 935

In this problem the authors consider two measures of the stability of a drug: MG/ML and pH. They ran a 2-factor ANOVA for each of these response variables using storage time and laboratory used in the analysis as the classification variables. There are 4 storage times considered and 2 labs. The data are in the table on page 935 and the resulting 2-factor ANOVA tables are shown on 935-936.

Using SAS, reproduce the ANOVA tables given in the book, and complete an assignment report form for the two analyses.

- they typically use “Textbook Formulas”

Many Software Programs Cannot Properly Calculate Sums of Squares for Unbalanced Designs

SAS:

- use Type III sums of squares

-- analysis is closest to that for “Balanced Experiments”

Unbalanced Experimental DesignsUnbalanced Experimental Designs

- must Use Proc GLM, not Proc ANOVA

- Type I and Type III sums-of-squares results will not generally agree

Step 1. Test for 3rd order interaction.

IF there IS a significant 3rd order interaction - compare cell means

IF there IS NOT a significant 3rd order interaction - test 2nd order interactions

IF there IS NOT a sig. 2nd order interaction - test the main effects

IF there IS a significant 2rd order interaction - compare associated cell means

In general -- test main effects only for variables not involved in a significant 2nd or 3rd order interaction

To complete the analysis:1. The F-test for Power was not significant (.2443)

2. Compare the 6 cell means plotted in interaction plot using procedure analogous to the one used for pilot plant data.

Models with Random Effects

Fixed-Effects Models -- the models we’ve studied to this point -- factor levels have been specifically selected - investigator is interested in testing effects of these specific levels on the response variable

Examples: -- CAR data - interested in performance of these 5 gasolines

-- Pilot Plant data - interested in the specific temperatures (160o and 180o) and catalysts (C1 and C2)

Page 58: Experimental Statistics           - week 7

58

Random-Effect Factor -- the factor has a large number of possible levels

-- the levels used in the analysis are a random sample from the population of all possible levels

- investigator wants to draw conclusions about the population from which these levels were chosen

(not the specific levels themselves)

Fixed Effects vs Random Effects

This determination affects

- the model

- the hypothesis tested

- the conclusions drawn

- the F-tests involved (sometimes)

1-Factor Random Effects Model

ij i ijy

Assumptions:

'i s3. are independent.

4. 'ij s 2 normally distributed with mean 0 and variance

ii2. is th random observation on factor A

2-- normally distributed with mean 0 and variance

'ij s5. are independent.

i ij 6. The r.v.'s and are independent.

1. is overall mean

Hypotheses:

Ho:

Ha:

Ho says (considering the variability of the yij’s) :

- the component of the variance due to “Factor” has zero variance

-- i.e. no factor-to-factor variation

- all of the variability observed is just unexplained subject-to-subject variation

We reject Ho : (p = .0002)

and we conclude that there isvariability due to operator

Conclusion:

Note:Multiple comparisons are not used in random effects analyses

-- we are interested in whether there is variability due to operator

- not interested in which operators performed better, etc. (they were randomly chosen)

Note:

- The same F test is used to test Ho for the 1-factor Fixed Effects and 1-factor Random effects models are the same

- Interpretations differ
