  1. Chapters 11&12 Factorial and Mixed Factor ANOVA and ANCOVA

  2. ANOVA Review • Compare 2+ mean scores • One way (1 factor or IV) • Repeated measures (multiple factors) • Main effects • Interactions • F-ratio • P-value • Post hoc tests and corrections • Within and between

  3. Multiple Factor ANOVA • aka Factorial ANOVA; incorporates more than one IV (factor). • Only one DV • Factor = IV • Levels are the “groups” within each factor. • In the reaction time example, there was one factor (“drug”) with three levels (beta blocker, caffeine, and placebo). • Mixed factor is both within and between in the same analysis.

  4. Factorial ANOVA Example • Studies are explained by their levels • 2 x 3 or 3 x 3 x 4 • The effect of three conditions of muscle glycogen at two different exercise intensities on blood lactate. There are 2 IV (factors: glycogen and exercise intensity) and 1 DV (blood lactate). • 3 levels of muscle glycogen: depleted, loaded, normal. • 2 levels of exercise intensity: 40% and 70% VO2max. • 2 x 3 ANOVA, two-way ANOVA. • 60 subjects randomized to the 6 cells (n = 10 per cell). Between subjects.

  5. Factorial ANOVA Example • Each subject, after appropriate glycogen manipulation, performs 30 minute cycle ergometer ride at either low intensity (40%) or high intensity (70%). • Blood is sampled following ride for lactate level.

  6. 3 F ratios in 2-way ANOVA • 2 “Main Effects” – a ‘main effect” looks at the effect of one IV while ignoring the other IV(s), i.e., “collapsed across” the other IV(s). Based on the “marginal means” (collapsed). • Main effect for Intensity – • based on “row” marginal means (collapsed across glycogen state). • If significant, look at mean values to see which one is larger (since there are only 2 means).

  7. 3 F ratios in 2-way ANOVA • Main effect for glycogen state • Compare column marginal means. • If significant, perform follow-up procedures on the 3 means (collapsed across intensity). • Main effects are easily followed up if the “interaction” (see below) is not significant. • Each main effect is treated as a single factor ANOVA while ignoring the other factor. • If the interaction is significant, focus on the interaction even if the main effects are significant. Ignore the main effects

  11. 3 F ratios in 2-way ANOVA • Interaction – does the effect of one IV (factor) change across levels of the other factor(s). • Significant interaction indicates that the effects of muscle glycogen on blood [lactate] differs across levels of exercise intensity. • Or equivalently, a significant interaction indicates that the effects of exercise intensity on blood [lactate] differs across different levels of muscle glycogen. • Interactions tell you that the slopes of lines of the plotted data are not parallel. • In other words the groups did not react the same way.

  12. Interactions • The first F ratio to consider is the highest order (most complicated) interaction. In this example, there is only one interaction. • If the interaction is significant, then ignore the main effects and analyze the interaction. • When a significant interaction occurs, the main effects can be misleading.

  13. Interaction of Intensity and Glycogen

  14. Interactions • Options for Follow Up Procedures • Perform multiple pairwise comparisons; need to control familywise Type I error rate. (Bonferroni) • Tests of Simple Main Effects • Compare cell means within the levels of each factor. • Examples: • 1. Perform two 1x3 ANOVAs; one for each level of exercise intensity. • 2. Perform three 1x2 ANOVAs (single df comparisons, t tests) for each level of glycogen state. • 3. Perform both 1 and 2 above.

  15. Or and

  16. Interactions • Options for Follow Up Procedures (continued) • Analysis of interaction comparisons – transform the factorial into a set of smaller factorials. • Plot interaction and describe. • The choice of follow-up procedure depends on the research question(s); one may be better in one situation vs. another.

  18. ANCOVA • Analysis of Covariance • Combined use of ANOVA and Regression • Adjust for covariate by regressing covariate on the DV, then doing an ANOVA on the adjusted DV. • Can remove pre-treatment variations (as measured by the covariate) from the post-treatment means prior to testing groups for differences in the DV. • Example – compare strength in subjects who did Swiss Ball exercise vs. controls. • Randomization may not equate groups on body weight. • Covary for body weight prior to comparing groups.

  19. ANCOVA • Issues with ANCOVA • Covariate should be highly correlated with DV. • Covariate should not be correlated with IV. • Homogeneity of Regression • Slopes of regression lines between covariate and DV must be equal across levels of the IV. • Violation implies an interaction between the covariate and IV. • Groups may differ on other variables that are not adjusted. • Abuse – arguably inappropriate to correct for pre-existing group differences if those groups were not formed by randomization.

  20. ANCOVA • Advantages • More Power – due to decreased variance that must be explained by the IV (smaller error term in the F ratio). • Covariate “accounts for” some of the variance in the DV   variance that must be explained by IV to reach significance. • Some suggest use of covariate solely to increase power. • Adjusts for pre-treatment differences between groups. • If pre-treatment differences exist because groups were not randomly formed, then ANCOVA will not magically eliminate the bias that may exist with non-random assignment.
