Repeated
Measures ANOVA
Using
the Repeated Measures ANOVA Function
The
Repeated Measures ANOVA function in EZAnalyze allows you
to conduct a statistical hypothesis test on more than two
group
means.
Since this
is an Advanced feature of EZAnalyze, it will not be discussed
at length here. Feel free to consult a statistics textbook
or the Internet for information on what Repeated Measures
ANOVA is and how it works. If you are already familiar with
Repeated Measures ANOVA
and
want
EZAnalyze to crunch the numbers for you, read on!
To
ensure that your data is ready for a Repeated Measures
ANOVA, make sure that you have at least two variables for
use in this procedure that are 'on the same metric'. SO,
for example, if you wanted to see if students' GPA varied
from quarter to quarter, you would need to have data for
at least two quarters.
To
perform a Repeated Measures ANOVA on your data, select "Advanced" from the EZAnalyze menu in Excel, and then choose "Repeated
Measures ANOVA" .
When
the "Repeated Measures ANOVA" dialog box appears,
select your variables from the list provided, then click
OK.
When
you click OK, a results report will
be printed on a separate sheet for your review. (click
on "results report" for information on how to
interpret this analysis)
