How to Calculate Two-Factor ANOVA without Replication

ANOVA Two-Factor without Replication is used for a design of two factors (e.g., Factor A and Factor B) and only 1 observation in each cell. For instance, both Factor A and Factor B have two levels, leading to 4 cells in total. Each cell only has 1 observations (see below). Variance Partitioning Two-Factor ANOVA without … Read more

Difference between Logit and Probit

This tutorial explains the difference between logit and probit in statistics with formulas and examples. Formula and Example for Logit We can start with the following formula. Thus, \( \beta_0+\beta_1x_1+…+\beta_nx_n \) can be from \( -\infty \) to \(+\infty \), and \( p(y=1) \) will be always within the range of \( (0,1) \). We … Read more

Sum of Squares: Formulas and Examples

This tutorial includes the formula and examples for Sum of Squares (SS). Sum of Squares (SS) is a measure of deviation from the mean and the following is its formula. It is to square the distance between each data point and the mean then add them together. Formula of Sum of Squares (SS) The following is … Read more

Difference between Interval and Ratio Data

The main difference between interval and ratio data lies in the presence or absence of a meaningful zero point and the nature of the numerical values. Interval Data Interval data is a type of quantitative data where the intervals between values are equal and consistent. It has a numerical scale that represents the magnitude of … Read more

Likert Scales: Ordinal Data or Interval Data

Likert scales are widely used in surveys and questionnaires to assess respondents’ attitudes, opinions, or perceptions. However, there has been ongoing debate regarding whether Likert scales should be classified as ordinal data or interval data. This tutorial aims to explore the nature of Likert scales and provide insights into their appropriate treatment in statistical analysis. … Read more

ANOVA Assumptions

There are 3 assumption for ANOVA: Normality – The responses for each factor level have a normal population distribution. Equal variances (Homogeneity of Variance) – These distributions have the same variance. Independence – The data are independent. You can use R to test the assumptions of normality and equality variances (The following are the two tutorials). In contrast, … Read more
