Differences <- After - Before

mean(Before, na.rm = TRUE)

hist(Differences,
     main = "Histogram of Difference Scores",
     xlab = "Value",
     ylab = "Frequency",
     col = "blue",
     border = "black",
     breaks = 20)

Histogram of Difference Scores The difference scores look abnormally distributed. The data is negatively skewed. The data does not have a proper bell curve.

boxplot(Differences,
        main = "Distribution of Score Differences (After - Before)",
        ylab = "Difference in Scores",
        col = "blue",
        border = "darkblue")

Boxplot There is one dot outside the boxplot. The dot is not close to the whiskers. The dot is very far away from the whiskers. Based on these findings, the boxplot is not normal.

shapiro.test(Differences)

## 
##  Shapiro-Wilk normality test
## 
## data:  Differences
## W = 0.89142, p-value = 0.02856

Shapiro-Wilk Difference Scores The data is abnormally distributed, (p = .02856).

wilcox.test(Before, After, paired = TRUE, na.action = na.omit)

## 
##  Wilcoxon signed rank exact test
## 
## data:  Before and After
## V = 210, p-value = 1.907e-06
## alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0

A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was conducted to determine if there was a difference in body weight (kg) before versus after all participants tried the keto diet. Before scores (Mdn = 75.96) were significantly different from after scores (Mdn = 70.88), V = 210, p <.001. The effect size was large, r = .88.
