etasqr.gen.2way: Generalized eta-squared estimates in a two-factor design

In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Generalized eta-squared estimates in a two-factor design

Description

Computes generalized eta-square estimates in a two-factor design where one or both factors are classification factors. If both factors are treatment factors, then partial eta-square estimates are typically recommended. The eta-squared estimates from this function can be used in the etasqr.adj function to obtain bias adjusted estimates.

Usage

etasqr.gen.2way(SSa, SSb, SSab, SSe)

Arguments

SSa	sum of squares for factor A
SSb	sum of squares for factor B
SSab	sum of squares for A x B interaction
SSe	error (within) sum of squares

Value

Returns a 3-row matrix. The columns are:

• A - estimate of eta-squared for factor A

• B - estimate of eta-squared for factor B

• AB - estimate of eta-squared for A x B interaction

Examples

etasqr.gen.2way(12.3, 15.6, 5.2, 7.9)
