Re: effect size

2000-04-19 Thread Graeme Byrne
An effect size can be expressed in terms of the coefficients of the underlying regression model for the experimental design being used. The standard errors for an effect can therefore be obtained from the standard errors of the coefficients. You need to be careful about the relationship between t

Using ANOVA or Regression to analyze ordinal data?

Dear all, I am confused by the following question: The 5-point scale is obvious ordinal scale, while the bipolar scale can be interval scale. However, we usually use analyses such as ANOVA, Regression, etc. to analyze the collected 5-point data. Is there any reasoning behind it? Please indica

It's a good definition for the MD, but for outliers identification MD is not robust because of masking and swamping phenomena: outliers could have low MD and high MD means not in each cases outliers. See eg Barnet V, Lewis T. (1994). Outliers in statistical data. John Wiley and Sons, New-York., Ro
