2 Importing Data

# For HW, import the project dataset you cleaned previously this will be the dataset you'll use throughout the rest of the semester

d <- read.csv(file="Data/projectdata.csv", header=T)


# new code! this adds a column with a number for each row. It will make it easier if we need to drop outliers later
d$row_id <- 1:nrow(d)

3 State Your Hypothesis

Note: For your HW, you will choose to run EITHER a one-way ANOVA (a single IV with 3 or more levels) OR a two-way/factorial ANOVA (at least two IVs with 2 or 3 levels each). You will need to specify your hypothesis and customize your code based on the choice you make. We will run BOTH versions of the test in the lab for illustrative purposes.

One-Way:There is a significant difference in Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) scores across different self-reported health conditions (e.g., No Condition, Chronic Condition, Acute Condition).

5 Check Your Assumptions

5.1 ANOVA Assumptions

  • DV should be normally distributed across levels of the IV (we checked previously using “describeBy” function)
  • 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 (which increases chance of Type II error)
  • Homogeneity of variance should be assured (using Levene’s Test)
  • Outliers should be identified and removed – we will actually remove them this time!
  • If you have confirmed everything above, the sampling distribution should be normal.

5.1.1 Check levels of IVs

# One-Way
table(d$health_group)
## 
##    health_condition no_health_condition 
##                 215                 950

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

# One-Way
leveneTest(phq~health_group, data = d)
## Levene's Test for Homogeneity of Variance (center = median)
##         Df F value  Pr(>F)  
## group    1  3.6497 0.05632 .
##       1163                  
## ---
## Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

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

5.1.3.1 Run a Regression to get these outlier plots

# 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.
reg_model <- lm(phq~health_group, 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)

5.2 Issues with My Data

Our cell sizes are relatively balanced between the health group levels, so we do not have major concerns about power or increased Type II error rate.

Levene’s test for homogeneity of variance was marginally significant (p = .056) for our two-level health group variable with the One-Way ANOVA. We are ignoring this slight violation and continuing with the analysis anyway for this class.

We did not identify or remove any outliers for the One-Way ANOVA.

6 Run an ANOVA

# One-Way
aov_model <- aov_ez(data = d,
                    id = "X",
                    between = c("health_group"),
                    dv = "phq",
                    anova_table = list(es = "pes"))
## Contrasts set to contr.sum for the following variables: health_group

ANOVA Effect Size [partial eta-squared] cutoffs from Cohen (1988): * η^2 < 0.01 indicates a trivial effect * η^2 >= 0.01 indicates a small effect * η^2 >= 0.06 indicates a medium effect * η^2 >= 0.14 indicates a large effect

# One-Way
afex_plot(aov_model, x = "health_group")

# NOTE: for the Two-Way, you will need to decide which plot version makes the MOST SENSE based on your data / rationale when you make the nice Figure 2 at the end

9 Run Posthoc Tests (One-Way)

ONLY run posthoc IF the ANOVA test is SIGNIFICANT! E.g., only run the posthoc tests on pet type if there is a main effect for pet type

emmeans(aov_model, specs="health_group", adjust="sidak")

## Confidence level used: 0.95 
## Conf-level adjustment: sidak method for 2 estimates

10 Write Up Results

10.1 One-Way ANOVA

To test our hypothesis that there would be a significant difference in Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) scores based on self-reported health conditions (health condition vs. no health condition), we used a one-way ANOVA. Our data was unbalanced, with more participants reporting a health condition (n = [215]) compared to no health condition (n = [950]). This significantly reduces the power of our test and increases the chances of a Type II error. We did not identify and remove any outliers based on visual analysis. A marginally significant Levene’s test (p = .056) suggests a potential violation of the assumption of homogeneity of variance, indicating an increased chance of Type I error. We continued with our analysis for the purpose of this class.

We found a significant effect of health group, F(1, 1163) = 12.78, p < .001, ηp2 = .011 (small effect size; Cohen, 1988). Posthoc tests using Sidak’s adjustment revealed that participants with a health condition (M = 2.26, SE = 0.06) reported significantly higher PHQ scores than those without a health condition (M = 2.03, SE = 0.03); the mean difference between the groups was 0.231 points (p = .0004).
