Measures of Partial Association (Eta-squared) for Linear Models

Description

Calculates partial eta-squared for linear models or multivariate analogs of eta-squared (or R^2), indicating the partial association for each term in a multivariate linear model. There is a different analog for each of the four standard multivariate test statistics: Pillai's trace, Hotelling-Lawley trace, Wilks' Lambda and Roy's maximum root test.

Usage

etasq(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mlm'
etasq(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Anova.mlm'
etasq(x, anova = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm'
etasq(x, anova = FALSE, partial = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	A lm, mlm or Anova.mlm object
...	Other arguments passed down to Anova.
anova	A logical, indicating whether the result should also contain the test statistics produced by Anova().
partial	A logical, indicating whether to calculate partial or classical eta^2.

Details

For univariate linear models, classical \eta^2 = SSH / SST and partial \eta^2 = SSH / (SSH + SSE). These are identical in one-way designs.

Partial eta-squared describes the proportion of total variation attributable to a given factor, partialing out (excluding) other factors from the total nonerror variation. These are commonly used as measures of effect size or measures of (non-linear) strength of association in ANOVA models.

All multivariate tests are based on the s=min(p, df_h) latent roots of H E^{-1}. The analogous multivariate partial \eta^2 measures are calculated as:

Pillai's trace (V)

\eta^2 = V/s

Hotelling-Lawley trace (T)

\eta^2 = T/(T+s)

Wilks' Lambda (L)

\eta^2 = L^{1/s}

Roy's maximum root (R)

\eta^2 = R/(R+1)

Value

When anova=FALSE, a one-column data frame containing the eta-squared values for each term in the model.

When anova=TRUE, a 5-column (lm) or 7-column (mlm) data frame containing the eta-squared values and the test statistics produced by print.Anova() for each term in the model.
