anova_test: Anova Test

Description

Provides a pipe-friendly framework to perform different types of ANOVA tests, including:

• Independent measures ANOVA: between-Subjects designs,

• Repeated measures ANOVA: within-Subjects designs

• Mixed ANOVA: Mixed within within- and between-Subjects designs, also known as split-plot ANOVA.

The function is an easy to use wrapper around Anova() and aov(). It makes ANOVA computation handy in R and It's highly flexible: can support model and formula as input. Variables can be also specified as character vector using the arguments dv, wid, between, within, covariate.

The results include ANOVA table, generalized effect size and some assumption checks.

Usage

anova_test(data, formula, dv, wid, between, within, covariate,
  type = NULL, effect.size = "ges", error = NULL,
  white.adjust = FALSE, observed = NULL, detailed = FALSE)
# S3 method for anova_test
print(x, ...)
# S3 method for anova_test
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

data

a data.frame or a model to be analyzed.

formula

a formula specifying the ANOVA model similar to aov. Can be of the form y ~ group where y is a numeric variable giving the data values and group is a factor with one or multiple levels giving the corresponding groups. For example, formula = TP53 ~ cancer_group.

Examples of supported formula include:

• Between-Ss ANOVA (independent measures ANOVA): y ~ b1*b2

• Within-Ss ANOVA (repeated measures ANOVA): y ~ w1*w2 + Error(id/(w1*w2))

• Mixed ANOVA: y ~ b1*b2*w1 + Error(id/w1)

If the formula doesn't contain any within vars, a linear model is directly fitted and passed to the ANOVA function. For repeated designs, the ANOVA variables are parsed from the formula.

dv

(numeric) dependent variable name.

wid

(factor) column name containing individuals/subjects identifier. Should be unique per individual.

between

(optional) between-subject factor variables.

within

(optional) within-subjects factor variables

covariate

(optional) covariate names (for ANCOVA)

type

the type of sums of squares for ANOVA. Allowed values are either 1, 2 or 3. type = 2 is the default because this will yield identical ANOVA results as type = 1 when data are balanced but type = 2 will additionally yield various assumption tests where appropriate. When the data are unbalanced the type = 3 is used by popular commercial softwares including SPSS.

effect.size

the effect size to compute and to show in the ANOVA results. Allowed values can be either "ges" (generalized eta squared) or "pes" (partial eta squared) or both. Default is "ges".

error

(optional) for a linear model, an lm model object from which the overall error sum of squares and degrees of freedom are to be calculated. Read more in Anova() documentation.

white.adjust

Default is FALSE. If TRUE, heteroscedasticity correction is applied to the coefficient of covariance matrix. Used only for independent measures ANOVA.

observed

Variables that are observed (i.e, measured) as compared to experimentally manipulated. The default effect size reported (generalized eta-squared) requires correct specification of the observed variables.

detailed

If TRUE, returns extra information (sums of squares columns, intercept row, etc.) in the ANOVA table.

x

an object of class Anova_test

...

additional arguments

Value

return an object of class anova_test a data frame containing the ANOVA table for independent measures ANOVA.

However, for repeated/mixed measures ANOVA, a list containing the following components are returned: ANOVA table, Mauchly's Test for Sphericity, Sphericity Corrections. These table are described more in the documentation of the function anova_summary().

The returned object has an attribute called args, which is a list holding the arguments used to fit the ANOVA model, including: data, dv, within, between, type, model, etc.
