2 Importing Data

# import the dataset you cleaned previously
# this will be the dataset you'll use throughout the rest of the semester
# use ARC data
d <- read.csv(file="Data/arc_data_final.csv", header=T)

# new code! this adds a column with a number for each row. it makes it easier when we drop outliers later
d$row_id <- 1:nrow(d)

3 State Your Hypothesis

Note: You can chose to run either a one-way ANOVA (a single IV with more than 3 levels) or a two-way/factorial ANOVA (at least two IVs) for the homework. You will need to specify your hypothesis and customize your code based on the choice you make. I will run both versions of the test here for illustrative purposes.

One-Way: We predict that there will be a significant effect of depressive symptoms on partciapnst who live in urban or rural environments, as measured by Percieved Stress Scale (PSS).

4 Check Your Variables

# you only need to check the variables you're using in the current analysis
# although you checked them previously, it's always a good idea to look them over again and be sure that everything is correct

5 Check Your Assumptions

5.1 ANOVA Assumptions

  • DV should be normally distributed across levels of the IV
  • All levels of the IVs should have equal number of cases and there should be no empty cells. Cells with low numbers decrease the power of the test (increase change of Type II error)
  • Homogeneity of variance should be assured
  • Outliers should be identified and removed
  • If you have confirmed everything about, the sampling distribution should be normal. (For a demonstration of what the sampling distribution is, go here.)

5.1.1 Check levels of IVs

table(d$urban_rural)
## 
##              city isolated dwelling              town           village 
##               453                41               841               501
# our number of small nb participants is going to hurt us for the two-way anova, but it should be okay for the one-way anova
# so we'll create a new dataframe for the two-way analysis and call it d2


# to double-check any changes we made

5.1.2 Check homogeneity of variance

# use the leveneTest() command from the car package to test homogeneity of variance
# uses the 'formula' setup: formula is y~x1*x2, where y is our DV and x1 is our first IV and x2 is our second IV
leveneTest(pss~urban_rural, data = d)
## Levene's Test for Homogeneity of Variance (center = median)
##         Df F value Pr(>F)
## group    3  0.7104 0.5458
##       1335

5.1.3 Check for outliers using Cook’s distance and Residuals vs Leverage plot

5.1.3.1 Run a Regression

# use this commented out section only if you need to remove outliers
# to drop a single outlier, remove the # at the beginning of the line and use this code:
# d <- subset (d, row_id!=(843))

# to drop multiple outliers, remove the # at the beginning of the line and use this code:
#d <- subset(d, row_id!=c(1640) & row_id!=c(843) 

# use the lm() command to run the regression
# formula is y~x1*x2 + c, where y is our DV, x1 is our first IV, x2 is our second IV, and c is our covariate
reg_model <- lm(pss ~ urban_rural, data = d ) #for one-way

5.1.3.2 Check for outliers (One-Way)

# Cook's distance
plot(reg_model, 4)

# Residuals vs Leverage
plot(reg_model, 5)

5.1.3.3 Check for outliers (Two-Way)

# Cook's distance


# Residuals vs Leverage

5.2 Issues with My Data

Our cell sizes are very unbalanced. A small sample size for one of the levels of our variable limits our power and increases our Type II error rate.

Levene’s test is significant for our five-level Age variable. We are ignoring this and continuing with the analysis anyway, but in the real world this is something we would have to correct for.

We identified and removed one outlier.

6 Run an ANOVA

aov_model <- aov_ez(data = d,
                    id = "X",
                    between = c("urban_rural"),
                    dv = "pss",
                    anova_table = list(es = "pes"))
## Warning: Missing values for 734 ID(s), which were removed before analysis:
## 32, 48, 67, 69, 79, 80, 85, 103, 116, 142, ... [showing first 10 only]
## Below the first few rows (in wide format) of the removed cases with missing data.

Only run posthocs if the test is significant! E.g., only run the posthoc tests on gender if there is a main effect for gender.

11 Write Up Results

11.1 One-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that there would be a significant effect of depressive symtpoms on particapnst who reside in rural/urban areas , we used a one-way ANOVA. Our data was unbalanced, with many more particapnts from city(n = 453), town (n = 841), than particapants in isolated dwellings (n = 41) or and Village (n = 501) . This significantly reduces the power of our test and increases the chances of a Type II error. We also identified and removed a single outlier following visual analysis of a Residuals vs Leverage plot. A significant Levene’s test (p = .5) also indicates that our data violates the assumption of homogeneity of variance. This suggests that there is an increased chance of Type I error. We continued with our analysis for the purpose of this class.

We found a significant effect of urban/rural, F(1334) = 3.75, p < .001, ηp2 = .008 (large effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using sidaks test revealed that particpants in villages reported more depressive symptoms than particpants in the city but less stress than isolated dwellings. (see Figure 1 for a comparison).
