Preface Beginning with the first edition of this book, the goal has been to introduce a broad array of techniques for the examination and analysis of a wide variety of data that may be encountered in diverse areas of biological studies. As such, the book has been called upon to fulfill two purposes. First, it has served as an introductory textbook, assuming no prior knowledge of statistics. Second, it has functioned as a reference work consulted long after formal instruction has ended. Colleges and universities have long offered an assortment of introductory statistics courses. Some of these courses are without concentration on a particular field in which quantitative data might be collected (and often emphasize mathematics and statistical theory), and some focus on statistical methods of utility to a specific field (such as this book, which has an explicit orientation to the biological sciences). Walker (I 929: 148-163) reported that, although the-teaching of probability has a much longer history, the first statistics course at a\\~.S. university or college probably was at Columbia College (renamed Columbia University in 1896) in 1880 in the economics department; followed in 1887 by the second-the first in psychology-at the University of Pennsylvania; in 1889 by the first in anthropology, at Clark University; in 1897 by the first in biology, at Harvard University; in 1898 by the first in mathematics, at the University of Illinois; and in 1900 by the first in education, at Teachers College, Columbia University. In biology, the first courses with statistical content were probably taught by Charles B. Davenport at Harvard (1887 -1899), and his Statistical Methods in Biological Variation, first published in 1899, may have been the first American book focused on statistics (ibid.: 159). The material in this book requires no mathematical competence beyond very elementary algebra, although the discussions include many topics that appear seldom, if at all, in other general texts. Some statistical procedures are mentioned though not recommended. This is done for the benefit of readers who may encounter them in research reports or computer software. Many literature references and footnotes are given throughout most chapters, to provide support for material discussed, to provide historical points, or to direct the reader to sources of additional information. More references are given for controversial and lesser-known topics. The data in the examples and exercises are largely fictional, though generally realistic, and are intended to demonstrate statistical procedures, not to present actual research conclusions. The exercises at the end of chapters can serve as additional examples of statistical methods, and the answers are given at the back of the book. The sample sizes of most examples and exercises are small in order to conserve space and to enhance the ease of presentation and computation. Although the examples and exercises represent a variety of areas within the biological sciences, they are intended to be understood by biology students and researchers across a diversity of fields. There are important statistical procedures that involve computations so demanding that they preclude practical execution without appropriate computer software. Basic principles and aspects of the underlying calculations are presented to show how results may be obtained; for even if laborious calculations will be performed by computer, the biologist should be informed enough to interpret properly the computational results. Many statistical packages are available, commercially or otherwise, addressing various subsets of the procedures in this book; but no single package is promoted herein. xi

Preface

A final contribution toward achieving a book with self-sufficiency for most biostatistical needs is the inclusion of a comprehensive set of statistical tables, more extensive than those found in similar texts. To be useful as a reference, and to allow for differences in content among courses for which it might be used, this book contains much more material than would be covered during one academic term. Therefore, I am sometimes asked to recommend what I consider to be the basic topics for an introduction to the subject. I suggest these book sections (though not necessarily in their entirety) as a core treatment of biostatistical methods, to be augmented or otherwise amended with others of the instructor's preference: 1.1-1.4, 2.1-2.4, 3.1-3.3, 4.1, 4.4-4.6, 6.1-6.4, 7.1-7.4,7.6-7.7,8.1-8.5,8.10-8.11,9.1-9.3,10.1-10.4, 11.1-11.4, 12.1-12.4, 14.1, 15.1,17.1-17.7,18.1-18.3,19.1-19.3,19.9, 20.2-20.4, 22.1-22.3, 22.5, 23.1-23.4; and the introductory paragraph( s) to each of these chapters.

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS

Scientific study involves the systematic collection, organization, analysis. and presentation of knowledge. Many investigations in the biological sciences are quantitative. where knowledge is in the form of numerical observations called data. (One numerical observation is a datulIl.*) In order for the presentation and analysis of data to be valid and useful, we must use methods appropriate to the type of data obtained, to the design of the data collection, and to the questions asked of the data; and the limitations of the data. of the data collection, and of the data analysis should be appreciated when formulating conclusions. This chapter, and those that follow. will introduce many concepts relevant to this goal. The word statistics is derived from the Latin for "state," indicating the historical importance of governmental data gathering, which related principally to demographic information (including census data and "vital statistics") and often to their use in military recruitment and tax collecting. I The term statistics is often encountered as a synonym for data: One hears of college enrollment statistics (such as the numbers of newly admitted students. numbers of senior students, numbers of students from various geographic locations), statistics of a basketball game (such as how many points were scored by each player. how many fouls were committed), labor statistics (such as numbers of workers unemployed. numbers employed in various occupations), and so on. Hereafter, this use of the word statistics will not appear in this book. Instead, it will be used in its other common manner: to refer to the orderly collection, analysis, and interpretation of data with a view to objective evaluation of conclusions based on the data. (Section 2.4 will introduce another fundamentally important use of the term statistic.i Statistics applied to biological problems is simply called biostatistics or, sometimes. biometry' (the latter term literally meaning "biological measurement"). Although "The term data is sometimes seen as a singular noun meaning "numerical information." This hook refrains from that use. 'Peters (I LJ1\7:7LJ) and Walker (I LJ2LJ:32) attribute the first use of the term statistics to a German professor, Gottfried Achcnwall (171 LJ-1772). who used the German word Statistik in 174LJ.and the first published use of the English word to John Sinclair (1754-11\35) in 17LJ1. j:The word biometry, which literally means "biological measurement," had. since the nineteenth century. bcen found in several contexts (such as demographics and. later. quantitative genetics; Armitage, I LJ1\5;Stigler. 2(00). but using it to mean the application of statistical methods to hiological information apparently was conceived between II\LJ2 and 1LJOIby Karl Pearson. along with the name Biometrika for the still-important English journal he helped found: and it was first publish cd in the inaugural issue of this journal in I LJOI (Sncdecor, I LJ54).

their magnitudes relative to each other: or success in learning to run a maze may be recorded as A, B, or C. It is often true that biological data expressed on the ordinal scale could have been expressed on the interval or ratio scale had exact measurements been obtained (or obtainable). Sometimes data that were originally on interval or ratio scales will be changed to ranks; for example, examination grades of 99,85,73, and 66% (ratio scale) might be recorded as A, B, C, and 0 (ordinal scale), respectively. Ordinal-scale data contain and convey less information than ratio or interval data, for only relative magnitudes are known. Consequently, quantitative comparisons are impossible (e.g., we cannot speak of a grade of C being half as good as a grade of A, or of the difference between cell sizes 1 and 2 being the same as the difference between sizes 3 and 4). However, we will see that many useful statistical procedures are, in fact, applicable to ordinal data. (d) Data in Nominal Categories. Sometimes the variable being studied is classified by some qualitative measure it possesses rather than by a numerical measurement. In such cases the variable may be called an attribute, and we are said to be dealing with nominal, or categorical, data. Genetic phenotypes are commonly encountered biological attributes: The possible manifestations of an animal's eye color might be brown or blue; and if human hair color were the attribute of interest, we might record black, brown, blond, or red. As other examples of nominal data (nominal is from the Latin word for "name"), people might be classified as male or female, or right-handed or left-handed. Or, plants might be classified as dead or alive, or as with or without fertilizer application. Taxonomic categories also form a nominal classification scheme (for example, plants in a study might be classified as pine, spruce, or fir). Sometimes, data that might have been expressed on an ordinal, interval, or ratio scale of measurement may be recorded in nominal categories. For example, heights might be recorded as tall or short, or performance on an examination as pass or fail, where there is an arbitrary cut-off point on the measurement scale to separate tall from short and pass from fail. As will be seen, statistical methods useful with ratio, interval, or ordinal data generally are not applicable to nominal data, and we must, therefore, be able to identify such situations when they occur. (e) Continuous and Discrete Data. When we spoke previously of plant heights, we were dealing with a variable that could be any conceivable value within any observed range; this is referred to as a continuous variable. That is, if we measure a height of 35 em and a height of 36 em, an infinite number of heights is possible in the range from 35 to 36 em: a plant might be 35.07 cm tall or 35.988 cm tall, or 35.3263 cm tall, and so on, although, of course, we do not have devices sensitive enough to detect this infinity of heights. A continuous variable is one for which there is a possible value between any other two values. However, when speaking of the number of leaves on a plant, we are dealing with a variable that can take on only certain values. It might be possible to observe 27 leaves, or 28 leaves, but 27.43 leaves and 27.9 leaves are values of the variable that are impossible to obtain. Such a variable is termed a discrete or discontinuous variable (also known as a meristic variable). The number of white blood cells in 1 mm ' of blood, the number of giraffes visiting a water hole, and the number of eggs laid by a grasshopper are all discrete variables. The possible values of a discrete variable generally are consecutive integers, but this is not necessarily so. If the leaves on our

plants are always formed in pairs, then only even integers are possible values of the variable. And the ratio of number of wings to number of legs of insects is a discrete variable that may only have the value of 0,0.3333 ... , or 0.6666 ... (i.e., ~, ~, or ~, respectively).* Ratio-, interval-, and ordinal-scale data may be either continuous or discrete. Nominal-scale data by their nature are discrete. 1.2

ACCURACY AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

Accuracy is the nearness of a measurement to the true value of the variable being measured. Precision is not a synonymous term but refers to the closeness to each other of repeated measurements of the same quantity. Figure 1.1 illustrates the difference between accuracy and precision of measurements .

FIGURE 1.1: Accuracy and precision of measurements. A 3-kilogram animal is weighed 10 times. The 10 measurements shown in sample (a) are relatively accurate and precise; those in sample (b) are relatively accurate but not precise; those of sample (c) are relatively precise but not accurate; and those of sample (d) are relatively inaccurate and imprecise.

Human error may exist in the recording of data. For example, a person may miscount the number of birds in a tract of land or misread the numbers on a heartrate monitor. Or, a person might obtain correct data but record them in such a way (perhaps with poor handwriting) that a subsequent data analyst makes an error in reading them. We shall assume that such errors have not occurred, but there are other aspects of accuracy that should be considered. Accuracy of measurement can be expressed in numerical reporting. If we report that the hind leg of a frog is 8 em long, we are stating the number 8 (a value of a continuous variable) as an estimate of the frog's true leg length. This estimate was made using some sort of a measuring device. Had the device been capable of more accuracy, we might have declared that the leg was 8.3 em long, or perhaps 8.32 em long. When recording values of continuous variables, it is important to designate the accuracy with which the measurements have been made. By convention, the value 8 denotes a measurement in the range of 7.50000 ... to 8.49999 ... , the value 8.3 designates a range of 8.25000 ... to 8.34999 , and the value 8.32 implies that the true value lies within the range of 8.31500 to 8.32499 .... That is, the reported value is the midpoint of the implied range, and the size of this range is designated by the last decimal place in the measurement. The value of 8 em implies an ability to "The ellipsis marks

repeating decimal fractions, which could just as well have been written 0.6666666666666 ... , respectively.

Chapter 1

Data: Types and Presentation determine length within a range of 1 ern, 8.3 ern implies a range of 0.1 ern, and 8.32 cm implies a range of 0.01 cm. Thus, to record a value of 8.0 implies greater accuracy of measurement than does the recording of a value of 8, for in the first instance the true value is said to lie between 7.95000 ... and 8.049999 ... (i.e., within a range of 0.1 ern), whereas 8 implies a value between 7.50000 ... and 8.49999 ... (i.e., within a range of 1 ern). To state 8.00 ern implies a measurement that ascertains the frog's limb length to be between 7.99500 ... and 8.00499 ... ern (i.e., within a range of 0.01 ern). Those digits in a number that denote the accuracy of the measurement are referred to as significant figures. Thus, 8 has one significant figure, 8.0 and 8.3 each have two significant figures, and 8.00 and 8.32 each have three. In working with exact values of discrete variables, the preceding considerations do not apply. That is, it is sufficient to state that our frog has four limbs or that its left lung contains thirteen flukes. The use of 4.0 or 13.00 would be inappropriate, for as the numbers involved are exactly 4 and 13, there is no question of accuracy or significant figures. But there are instances where significant figures and implied accuracy come into play with discrete data. An entomologist may report that there are 72,000 moths in a particular forest area. In doing so, it is probably not being claimed that this is the exact number but an estimate of the exact number, perhaps accurate to two significant figures. In such a case, 72,000 would imply a range of accuracy of 1000, so that the true value might lie anywhere from 71,500 to 72,500. If the entomologist wished to convey the fact that this estimate is believed to be accurate to the nearest 100 (i.e., to three significant figures), rather than to the nearest 1000, it would be better to present the data in the form of scientific notation." as follows: If the number 7.2 X 104( = 72,000) is written, a range of accuracy of 0.1 x 104( = 1000) is implied, and the true value is assumed to lie between 71,500 and 72,500. But if7.20 x 104 were written, a range of accuracy of 0.01 x 104( = 100) would be implied, and the true value would be assumed to be in the range of 71,950 to 72,050. Thus, the accuracy of large values (and this applies to continuous as well as discrete variables) can be expressed succinctly using scientific notation. Calculators and computers typically yield results with more significant figures than are justified by the data. However, it is good practice-to avoid rounding error-to retain many significant figures until the last step in a sequence of calculations, and on attaining the result of the final step to round off to the appropriate number of figures. A suggestion for the number of figures to report is given at the end of Section 6.2.

1.3

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS

When collecting and summarizing large amounts of data, it is often helpful to record the data in the form of a frequency table. Such a table simply involves a listing of all the observed values of the variable being studied and how many times each value is observed. Consider the tabulation of the frequency of occurrence of sparrow nests in each of several different locations. This is illustrated in Example 1.1, where the observed kinds of nest sites are listed, and for each kind the number of nests observed is recorded. The distribution of the total number of observations among the various categories is termed a frequency distribution. Example 1.1 is a frequency table for nominal data, and these data may also be presented graphically by means of a bar graph (Figure 1.2), where the height of each bar is proportional to the frequency in the class represented. The widths of all bars in a bar graph should be equal so "The use of scientific notation-by 2004b).

that the eye of the reader is not distracted from the differences in bar heights; this also makes the area of each bar proportional to the frequency it represents. Also, the frequency scale on the vertical axis should begin at zero to avoid the apparent differences among bars. If, for example, a bar graph of the data of Example 1.1 were constructed with the vertical axis representing frequencies of 45 to 60 rather than 0 to 60, the results would appear as in Figure 1.3. Huff (1954) illustrates other techniques that can mislead the readers of graphs. It is good practice to leave space between the bars of a bar graph of nominal data, to emphasize the distinctness among the categories represented. A frequency tabulation of ordinal data might appear as in Example 1.2, which presents the observed numbers of sunfish collected in each of five categories, each category being a degree of skin pigmentation. A bar graph (Figure 1.4) can be prepared for this frequency distribution just as for nominal data.

But, as we are considering the distribution at hand to be a continuous one, the probability of Xi being exactly 80.000 ... kg (or being exactly any other stated value) is practically nil, so these types of probability statements offer no practical difficulties. *Some old literature avoided referring to negative Z's by expressing the quantity, Z + 5, called a prohit.

2. What is the probability of picking, at random from this population, a bone larger than 66 mm? This is simply another way of stating the quantity calculated in part (1). The answer is 0.2743. 3. If there are 2000 bone lengths in this population, how many of them are greater than 66 mm? (0.2743)(2000) = 549 4. What proportion of the population is smaller than 66 mm? P(Xi

5. What proportion of this population lies between 60 and 66 mm? Of the total population, 0.5000 is larger than 60 mm and 0.2743 is larger than 66 mm. Therefore, 0.5000 - 0.2743 = 0.2257 of the population lies between 60 and 66 mm. That is, P( 60 mm < Xi < 66 mm) = 0.5000 - 0.2743 = 0.2257. 6.

Using the preceding considerations of the table of normal deviates (Table B.2), we can obtain the following information for measurements in a normal population: The interval of u. ± a will contain 68.27% of the measurements.* The interval of fL ± Za will contain 95.44% of the measurements. The interval of fL ± 2.5(T will contain 98.76% of the measurements. The interval of fL ± 3u will contain 99.73% of the measurements. 50% of the measurements lie within fL ± 0.67u. 95% of the measurements lie within fL ± 1.96u. 97.5% of the measurements lie within fL ± 2.24u. *Thc symbol "J." indicates 1631 (Cajori, 1928: 245).

THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEANS If random samples of size n are drawn from a normal population, the means of these samples will conform to normal distribution. The distribution of means from a nonnormal population will not be normal but will tend to approximate a normal distribution as n increases in size.* Furthermore, the variance of the distribution of means will decrease as n increases; in fact, the variance of the population of all possible means of samples of size n from a population with variance IT2 is IT2 (T~

Since IT~ has square units, its square root, ITx, will have the same units as the original measurements (and, therefore, the same units as the mean, u; and the standard deviation, IT). This value, ITx' is the standard deviation of the mean. The standard deviation of a statistic is referred to as a standard error; thus, ITx is frequently called the standard error of the mean (sometimes abbreviated SEM), or simply the standard error (sometimes abbreviated SEyl::

Thus, we can ask questions such as: What is the probability of obtaining a random sample of nine measurements with a mean larger than 50.0 em from a population having a mean of 47.0 em and a standard deviation of 12.0 em? This and other examples of the use of normal deviates for the sampling distribution of means are presented in Example 6.2. As seen from Equation 6.5, to determine ITx one must know IT2 (or IT), which is a population parameter. Because we very seldom can calculate population parameters, we must rely on estimating them from random samples taken from the population.

The term standard error was introduced in 1897 by G. U. Yule (David, 19(5), though in a different context (Miller, 2004a).

We shall state the standard error to two significant figures (e.g., 2.7 mm in Example 6.3; see Section 1.2 for an explanation

TO STATISTICAL HYPOTHESIS TESTING

A major goal of statistical analysis is to draw inferences about a population by examining a sample from that population. A very common example of this is the desire to draw conclusions about one or more population means. We begin by making a concise statement about the population mean, a statement called a null hypothesis (abbreviated Ho)t because it expresses the concept of "no difference." For example, a null hypothesis about a population mean (fL) might assert that fL is not different from zero (i.e., fL is equal to zero); and this would be written as Ho:

fL

=

o.

Or, we could hypothesize that the population mean is not different from (i.e., is equal to) 3.5 em, or not different from 10.5 kg, in which case we would write Ho: fL = 3.5 em or He: fL = 10.5 kg, respectively. *In Example 6.3, s is written with more deeimal plaees than the Eisenhart recommendations indicate because it is an intermediate, rather than a final, result: and rounding off intermediate computations may lead to serious rounding error. Indeed, some authors routinely report extra decimal places, even in final results, with the consideration that readers of the results may use them as intermediates in additional calculations. tThe term null hypothesis was first published by R. A. Fisher in 1935 (David, 1995; Miller, 2004a; Pearson, 1947). J. Neyman and E. S. Pearson were the first to use the symbol" Ho" and the term alternate hypothesis, in 1928 (Pearson, 1947; Miller, 2004a, 2004c). The concept of statistical testing of something akin to a null hypothesis was introduced 300 years ago by John Arbuthnot (1667 ~ 1725), a Scottish~ English physician and mathematician (Stigler, 1986: 225~226).

It must be emphasized that statistical hypotheses arc to be stated before data are collected to test them. To propose hypotheses after examination of data can invalidate a statistical test. One may, however, legitimately formulate hypotheses after inspecting data if a new set of data is then collected with which to test the hypotheses. (a) Statistical Testing and Probability. Statistical testing of a null hypothesis about involves calculating X, the mean of a random sample from that population. As noted in Section 2.1, X is the best estimate of /1-; but it is only an estimate, and we can ask, What is the probability of an X at least as far from the hypothesized /1- as is the X in the sample, if Ho is true? Another way of visualizing this is to consider that, instead of obtaining one sample (of size n) from the population, a large number of samples (each sample of size n) could have been taken from that population. We can ask what proportion of those samples would have had means at least as far as our single sample's mean from the /1- specified in the null hypothesis. This question is answered by the considerations of Section 6.2 and is demonstrated in Example 6.4. /1-, the mean of a population,

The variable, Xi, is the weight change of horses given an antibiotic for two weeks. The following measurements of Xi are those obtained from 17 horses (where a positive weight change signifies a weight gain and a negative weight change denotes a weight loss): 2.0, 1.1, 4.4, -3.1, -1.3, 3.9, 3.2, -1.6 ,3.5 1.2, 2.5, 2.3, 1.9, 1.8, 2.9, -0.3, and -2.4 kg. For these 17 data, the sample mean (X) is 1.29 kg. Although the population variance (a2) is typically not known, for the demonstration purpose of this example, a2 is said to be 13.4621 kg2. Then the population standard error of the mean would be 13.4621 kg2 17

In Example 6.4, it is desired to ask whether treating horses with an experimental antibiotic results in a change in body weight. The data shown (Xi values) are the changes in body weight of 17 horses that received the antibiotic, and the statistical hypotheses to be tested are Ho:!.L = 0 kg and HA:!.L oF 0 kg. (As shown in this example, we can write "0" instead of "0 kg" in these hypotheses, because they are statements about zero weight change, and zero would have the same meaning regardless of whether the horses were weighed in kilograms, milligrams, pounds, ounces, etc.) These 17 data have a mean of X = 1.29 kg and they are considered to represent a random sample from a very large number of data, namely the body-weight changes that would result from performing this experiment with a very large number of horses. This large number of potential Xi's is the statistical population. Although one almost never knows the actual parameters of a sampled population, for this introduction to statistical testing let us suppose that the variance of the population sampled for this example is known to be 0'2 = 13.462] kg2. Thus, for the population of means that could be drawn from this population of measurements, the standard error of the rnean is o-j- = ~O'2jn = ~13.4621 kg2j17 = ~0.7919kg2 = 0.89 kg (by Equation 6.5). We shall further assume that the population of possible means follows a normal distribution, which is generally a reasonable assumption even when the individual data in the population are not normally distributed. This hypothesis test may be conceived as asking the following: If we have a normal population with fL = 0 kg, and (J'y{ = 0.89 kg, what is the probability of obtaining a random sample of 17 data with a mean (X) at least as far from 0 kg as 1.29 kg (i.e., at least 1.29 kg larger than 0 kg or at least 1.29 kg smaller than 0 kg)?

Section 6.2 showed that probabilities for be ascertained through computations of Z hypothesis is tested in Example 6.4, in which (a computed quantity for which a probability is calculated to be 1.45, and Appendix Table

Section 6.3

2 ~ 1.45 is 0.0735.* The null hypothesis asks about the deviation of the mean in either direction from 0 and, as the normal distribution is symmetrical, we can also say that P( - 2 :S 1.45) = 0.0735 and, therefore, P( 121 ~ 1.45) = 0.0735 + 0.0735 = 0.1470. This tells us the probability associated with a 121 (absolute value of 2) at least as large as the 121obtained; and this is the probability of a 2 at least as extreme as that obtained, if the null hypothesis is true. It should be noted that this probability,

P( 121 ~ [computed 21, if Ho is true), is not the same as

P(Ho is true, if 121 ~ [computed 21), for these are conditional probabilities, discussed in Section 5.8. In addition to the playing-card example in that section, suppose a null hypothesis was tested 2500 times, with results as in Example 6.5. By Equation 5.23, the probability of rejecting Ho, if Ho is true, is P( rejecting He; if Ho is true) = (number ofrejections of true Ho 's )/(number of true Ho's) = 100/2000 = 0.05. And the probability that Ho is true, if Ho is rejected, is P(Ho true, if Hi, is rejected) = (number of rejections of true Ho's)/(number of rejections of Ho's) = 100/550 = 0.18. These two probabilities (0.05 and 0.18) are decidedly not the same, for they are probabilities based on different conditions. EXAMPLE 6.5

In hypothesis testing, it is correct to say that the calculated probability (for example, using 2) is P(the data, given Ho is true) and it is not correct to say that the calculated probability is

P(Ho is true, given the data). Furthermore, in reality we may not be testing Hi: 11- = 0 kg in order to conclude that the population mean is exactly zero (which it probably is not). Rather, we "Note that "~" and respectively.

are interested in concluding whether there is a very small difference between the population mean and a kg; and what is meant by very small will be discussed in Section 6.3( d). (b) Statistical Errors in Hypothesis Testing. It is desirable to have an objective criterion for drawing a conclusion about the null hypothesis in a statistical test. Even if Hi, is true, random sampling might yield a sample mean (X) far from the population mean (IL), and a large absolute value of Z would thereby be computed. However, such an occurrence is unlikely, and the larger the IZI, the smaller the probability that the sample came from a population described by Hi; Therefore, we can ask how small a probability (which is the same as asking how large a IZI) will be required to conclude that the null hypothesis is not likely to be true. The probability used as the criterion for rejection of Ho is called the significance level, routinely denoted by Q' (the lowercase Greek letter alpha).* As indicated below, an Q' of 0.05 is commonly employed. The value of the test statistic (in this case, Z) corresponding to Q' is termed the critical value of the test statistic. In Appendix Table B.2 it is seen that P( Z 2:: 1.96) = 0.025; and, inasmuch as the normal distribution is symmetrical, it is also the case that P( Z S -1.96) = 0.025. Therefore, the critical value for testing the above Ho at the 0.05 level (i.e., 5% level) of significance is Z = 1.96 (see Figure 6.4). These values of Z may be denoted as Z0025( I) = 1.96 and ZO.05(2) = 1.96, where the parenthetical number indicates whether one or two tails of the normal distribution are being referred to.

y

FIGURE 6.4: A normal curve showing (with shading) the 5% of the area under the curve that is the rejection region for the null hypothesis of Example 6.4.

=

-1.96). The calculated test statistic in this example, Z

=

1.45, does not lie within either tail;

so Ho is not rejected.

So, a calculated Z greater than or equal to 1.96, or less than or equal to -1.96, would be reason to reject Ho, and the shaded portion of Figure 6.4 is known as the "rejection region." The absolute value of the test statistic in Example 6.4 (namely, IZI = 1.45) is not as large as the critical value (i.e., it is neither 2:: 1.9 nor S-1.96), so in this example the null hypothesis is not rejected as a statement about the sampled population. *David (1955) credits R. A. Fisher as the first to refer to "level of significance:' in 1925. Fisher (1925b) also was the first to formally recommend use of the 5% significance level as guidance for drawing a conclusion about the propriety of a null hypothesis (Cowles and Davis, 1982), although he later argued that a fixed significance level should not be used. This use of the Greek "(1''' first appears in a 1936 publication of J. Neyman and E. S. Pearson (Miller, 2004c).

Section 6.3

Introduction

to Statistical Hypothesis Testing

79

It is very important to realize that a true null hypothesis will sometimes be rejected, which of course means that an error has been committed in drawing a conclusion about the sampled population. Moreover, this error can be expected to be committed with a frequency of 0'. The rejection of a null hypothesis when it is in fact true is what is known as a Type 1 error (or "Type 1 error" or "alpha error" or "error of the first kind"). On the other hand, a statistical test will sometimes fail to detect that a Ho is in fact false, and an erroneous conclusion will be reached by not rejecting Ho. The probability of committing this kind of error (that is, not rejecting Hi, when it is false) is represented by {3(the lowercase Greek letter beta). This error is referred to as a Type 11error (or "Type 2 error" or "beta error" or "error of the second kind"). The power of a statistical test is defined as 1 - (3: the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false.* If Ho is not rejected, some researchers refer to it as having been "accepted," but most consider it better to say "not rejected," for low statistical power often causes failure to reject, and "accept" sounds too definitive. Section 6.3(c) discusses how both the Type I and the Type II errors can be reduced. Table 6.1 summarizes these two types of statistical errors, and Table 6.2 indicates their probabilities. Because, for a given n, a relatively small probability of a Type I error is associated with a relatively large probability of a Type II error, it is appropriate to ask what the acceptable combination of the two might be. By experience, and by convention, an 0' of 0.05 is typically considered to be a "small enough chance" of committing a Type I error while not being so small as to result in "too large a chance"of a Type II error (sometimes considered to be around 20%). But the 0.05 level of significance is not sacrosanct. It is an arbitrary, albeit customary, threshold for concluding that there is significant evidence against a null hypothesis. And caution should be exercised in emphatically rejecting a null hypothesis if p = 0.049 and not rejecting if p = 0.051, for in such borderline cases further examination -and perhaps repetition-of the experiment would be recommended. TABLE 6.1:

The Two Types of Errors in Hypothesis Testing

If Ho is rejected: If Ho is not rejected:

If Ho is true

If Ho is false

Type I error No error

No error Type II error

Although 0.05 has been the most widely used significance level, individual researchers may decide whether it is more important to keep one type of error "The distinction between these two fundamental kinds of statistical errors, and the concept of power, date back to the pioneering work, in England, of Jerzy Neyman (1894-1981; Russian-born, of Polish roots, emigrating as an adult to Poland and then to England, and spending the last half of his life in the United States) and the English statistician Egon S. Pearson (1895-1980) (Lehmann and Reid, 1982; Neyman and Pearson, 1928a; Pearson, 1947). They conceived of the two kinds of errors in 1928 (Lehmann, 1999) and named them, and they formulated the concept of power in 1933 (David, 1995). With some influence by W. S. Gosset ("Student") (Lehmann, 1999), their modifications (e.g., Neyman and Pearson, 1933) of the ideas of the colossal British statistician (1890-1962) R. A. Fisher (1925b) provide the foundations of statistical hypothesis testing. However. from the mid-1930s until his death, Fisher disagreed intensely with the Neyman-Pearson approach, and the hypothesis testing commonly used today is a fusion of the Fisher and the Neyman-Pearson procedures (although this hybridization of philosophies has received criticism-e.g., by Hubbard and Bayarri, 2003). Over the years there has been further controversy regarding hypothesis testing, especially-but not entirely-within the social sciences (e.g .. Harlow, Mulaik, and Steiger. 1997). The most extreme critics conclude that hypothesis tests should never be used, while most others advise that they may be employed but only with care to avoid abuse.

And the hypothesized J.LO (45 see) lies within the confidence interval, indicating that the null hypothesis is not rejected. (b) Prediction Limits. While confidence limits express the precision with which a population characteristic is estimated, we can also indicate the precision with which future observations from this population can be predicted. After calculating X and 052 from a random sample of n data from a population, we can ask what the mean would be from an additional random sample, of an additional m data, from the same population. The best estimate of the mean of those m additional data would be X, and the precision of that estimate may be expressed by this two-tailed prediction interval (abbreviated PI): -

One-Sample Hypotheses

tolerance interval, which may be calculated to contain at least a specified proportion (e.g., a specified percentile) of the sampled population; and in Patel (1989), who also discusses simultaneous prediction intervals of means from more than one future sample. The procedure is very much like that of Section 7.3a. If the desire is to obtain only a lower prediction limit, L, (while L2 is considered to be 00), then the first portion of Equation 7.7 (or 7.8) would be modified to be X ta(,), v (i.e., the one-tailed t would be used); and if the intent is to express only an upper prediction limit, L2 (while regarding L, to be -00), then we would use X + ta(,). v' As an example, Example 7.6 might have asked what the highest mean body temperature is that would be predicted, with probability a, from an additional sample. This would involve calculating L2 as indicated above, while L, = -00. EXAMPLE 7.6 Prediction Limits for Additional lation Sampled in Example 7.1

If it is the author's intention to provide the reader with a statement about the precision of estimation of the population mean, the use of the standard error (sx) is appropriate. A typical presentation is shown in Table 7.3a. This table might instead be set up to show confidence intervals, rather than standard errors, as shown in Table 7.3b. The standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation. But this is not a reason to report the former in preference to the latter. The determination should be made on the basis of whether the desire is to describe variability within the population or precision of estimating the population mean. There are three very important points to note about Tables 7.1, 7.2, 7.3a, and 7.3b. First, n should be stated somewhere in the table, either in the caption or in the body of the table. (Thus, the reader has the needed information to convert from SD to SE or from SE to SD, if so desired.) One should always state n when presenting sample statistics (X, s, sx, range, etc.), and if a tabular presentation is prepared, it is very good practice to include n somewhere in the table, even if it is mentioned elsewhere in the paper. Second, the measure of variability is clearly indicated. Not infrequently, an author will state something such as "the mean is 54.2 ± 2.7 g," with no explanation of what "± 2.7" denotes. This renders the statement worthless to the reader, because "± 2.7" will be assumed by some to indicate ± SD, by others to indicate ± SE, by others to

indicate the 95% (or 99%, or other) confidence interval, and by others to indicate the range.* There is no widely accepted convention; one must state explicitly what quantity is meant by this type of statement. If such statements of '±" values appear in a table, then the explanation is best included somewhere in the table (either in the caption or in the body of the table), even if it is stated elsewhere in the paper. Third, the units of measurement of the variable must be clear. There is little information conveyed by stating that the tail lengths of 24 birds have a mean of 8.42 and a standard error of 0.86 if the reader does not know whether the tail lengths were measured in centimeters, or inches, or some other unit. Whenever data appear in tables, the units of measurement should be stated somewhere in the table. Keep in mind that a table should be self-explanatory; one should not have to refer back and forth between the table and the text to determine what the tabled values represent. Frequently, the types of information given in Tables 7.1,7.2, 7.3a, and 7.3b are presented in graphs, rather than in tables. In such cases, the measurement scale is typically indicated on the vertical axis, and the mean is indicated in the body of the graph by a short horizontal line or some other symbol. The standard deviation, standard error, or a confidence interval for the mean is commonly indicated on such graphs via a vertical line or rectangle. Often the range is also included, and in such instances the SD or SE may be indicated by a vertical rectangle and the range by a vertical line. Some authors will indicate a confidence interval (generally 95 %) in * In older literature the ± symbol referred to yet another measure, known as the "probable error" (which fell into disuse in the early twentieth century). In a normal curve, the probable error (PE) is 0.6745 times the standard error, because X ± PE includes 50% of the distribution. The term probable error was first used in 1815 by German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784-1846) (Walker, 1929: 24, 51,186).

The sum of the ranks with a plus sign is called T + and the sum of the ranks with a minus sign is T _, with the test then proceeding as described in Section 9.5. The Wilcoxon test assumes that the sampled population is symmetric (in which case the median and mean are identical and this procedure becomes a hypothesis test about the mean as well as about the median, but the one-sample t test is typically a more powerful test about the mean). Section 9.5 discusses this test further. 7.10

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE POPULATION MEDIAN

The sample median (Section 3.2) is used as the best estimate of M, the population median. Confidence limits for M may be determined by considering the binomial distribution, as discussed in Section 24.9. *Here M represents

the Greek capital letter mu.

Section 7.11

Hypotheses Concerning the Variance

121

HYPOTHESESCONCERNINGTHE VARIANCE The sampling distribution of means is a symmetrical distribution, approaching the normal distribution as n increases. But the sampling distribution of variances is not symmetrical, and neither the normal nor the t distribution may be employed to test hypotheses about u2 or to set confidence limits around u2. However, theory states that (7.15) (if the sample came from a population with a normal distribution), where X2 represents a statistical distribution" that, like t, varies with the degrees of freedom, u, where v = n - 1. Critical values of X~.v are found in Appendix Table B.1. Consider the pair of two-tailed hypotheses, Ho: u2 = u~ and HA: u2 -t= u6, where u6 may be any hypothesized population variance. Then, simply calculate . Icnt Iy, or, equiva

and if the calculated X2 is 2: X;/2,v or ::; X~I-a/2).v' then Ho is rejected at the a level of significance. For example, if we wished to test Ho: u2 = 1.0( oC)2 and HA: u2 -t= 1.0( C)2 for the data of Example 7.1, with a = 0.05, we would first calculate X2 = SSj u6' In this example, v = 24 and s2 = 1.80( C)2, so SS = vs2 = 43.20( o C)2. Also, as u2 is hypothesized to be 1.0(oC)2, X2 = SSju~ = 43.20(OC)2j1.0(oC)2 = 43.20. Two critical values are to be obtained from the chi-square table (Appendix Table B.1): X~005/2),24 = X6.025.24 = 39.364 and X~I-(l.()5/2).24 = X6.975.24 = 12.401. As the calculated X2 is more extreme than one of these critical values (i.e., the calculated X2 is > 39.364), Ho is rejected, and we conclude that the sample of data was obtained from a population having a variance different from 1.0( C)2. It is more common to consider one-tailed hypotheses concerning variances. For the hypotheses Ho: u2 ::; u6 and HA: u2 > u6, Ho is rejected if the X2 calculated from Equation 7.16 is 2: X~,v' For Ho: u2 2: u6 and HA: u2 < u6, a calculated X2 that is ::; X~ I-a).v is grounds for rejecting Ho. For the data of Example 7.4, a manufacturer might be interested in whether the variability in the dissolving times of the drug is greater than a certain value-say, 1.5 sec. Thus, Ho: 2 ::; 1.5 sec2 and 2 HA: u > 1.5 see- might be tested, as shown in Example 7.11. 0

As is the case for testing hypotheses about a population mean, fL (Sections 7.1 and 7.2), the aforementioned testing of hypotheses about a population variance, o, depends upon the sample's having come from a population of normally distributed data. However, the F test for variances is not as robust as the t test for means: that is, it is not as resistant to violations of this underlying assumption of normality. The probability of a Type I error will be very different from the specified a if the sampled population is nonnormal, even if it is symmetrical. And, likewise, a will be distorted if there is substantial asymmetry (say, \ Jbl \ > 0.6), even if the distribution is normal (Pearson and Please, 1975). 7.12

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE POPULATION VARIANCE Confidence intervals may be determined for many parameters other than the population mean, in order to express the precision of estimates of those parameters. By employing the X2 distribution, we can define an interval within which there is a 1 - a chance of including u2 in repeated sampling. Appendix Table B.l tells us the probability of a calculated X2 being greater than that in the Table. If we desire to know the two X2 values that enclose 1 - a of the chi-square curve, we want the portion of the curve between XZ1-a/2).v and X;/2,v (for a 95% confidence interval, this would mean the area between that

The hypothesized a6 (45 see") lies within the confidence interval, indicating that the null hypothesis would not be rejected. If the desire is to estimate a population's standard deviation (a) instead of the population variance (a2), then simply substitute a for a2 and ao for a6 above and use the square root of LJ and L2 (bearing in mind that = (0).

(b) Prediction Limits. We can also estimate the variance that would be obtained from an additional random sample of m data from the same population. To do so, the following two-tailed 1 - (l' prediction limits may be determined: LI

(7.22)

(Hahn, 1972; Hahn and Meeker, 1991: 64, who also mention one-tailed prediction intervals; Patel, 1989). A prediction interval for s would be obtained by taking the square roots of the prediction limits for s2. The critical values of F, which will be employed many times later in this book, are given in Appendix Table B.4. These will be written in the form Fa.vl.v2' where VI and V2 are termed the "numerator degrees of freedom" and "denominator degrees of freedom," respectively (for a reason that will be apparent in Section 8.5). So, if we wished to make a prediction about the variance (or standard deviation) that would be obtained from an additional random sample of 10 data from the population from which the sample in Example 7.1 came, n = 25, n - 1 = 24, m = 10, and m - 1 = 9; and to compute the 95% two-tailed prediction interval, we would consult Table B.4 and obtain FO'(2).n-l.m-J = FO.OS(2).24,9 = 3.61 and Fa(2).m-l.n-l = FO.OS(2).9.24 = 2.79. Thus, the prediction limits would be LI = 1.80( C)2/3.61 = 0.50(oC)2 and L2 = [1.80('C)2][2.79] = 5.02( oC)2.

Alternatively, a critical value could be estimated, from the table's critical values for n's. immediately above and below n under consideration, using linear or harmonic interpolation (see the introduction to Appendix B), with harmonic interpolation appearing to be a little more accurate.

(b) Testing Kurtosis. Our estimate of a population's kurtosis (f32) is h2, given by Equation 6.17.

To test the above Ho at the 5 % level of significance, we find that critical values for n = 70 do not appear in Table B.23. A conservative procedure (i.e., one with lowered power) is to employ the critical values for the

tabled critical values for the largest n that is less than our sample's n. In our example, this is n = 50, and Ho is rejected if b: is either less than the lower-tail (b2 )005(2).50 = 2.06 or greater than the upper-tail (b2 )0.05(2).50 = 4.36. In the present example, b2 = 2.25 is neither less than 2.06 nor greater than 4.36, so Ho is not rejected. And, from Table B.23, we see that 0.05 < P < 0.10. Rather than using the nearest lower n in Table B.23, we could engage in linear or harmonic interpolation between tabled critical values (see introduction to Appendix B), with harmonic interpolation apparently a little more accurate. There is also a method (D'Agostino, 1970, 1986; D'Agostino, Belanger, and D'Agostino, 1990) to approximate the exact probability of Hi; One-tailed testing could be employed if the interest is solely in whether the population's distribution is leptokurtic, for which H«: {32 :5 3 versus Ho: {32 > 3 would apply; and Hi, would be rejected if bi 2: the upper-tail (b2 )a( I ).n- Or, if testing specifically whether the distribution is platykurtic, a one-tailed test of Ho: {32 2: 3 versus He: f32 < 3 would be applicable; and Ho would be rejected if b: :5 the lower-tail (b2)a(I).n.

(c) Testing Symmetry around the Median. Symmetry of dispersion around the median instead of the mean may be tested non parametrically by using the Wilcoxon paired-sample test of Section 9.5 (also known as the Wilcoxon signed-rank test). For each datum (Xi) we compute the deviation from the median (d, = Xi - median) and then analyze the d/s as in Section 9.5. For the two-tailed test (considering both L and T + in the Wilcoxon test), the null hypothesis is He: The underlying distribution is symmetrical around (i.e., is not skewed from) the median. For a one-tailed test, T _ is the critical value for Ho: The underlying distribution is not skewed to the right of the median; and T + is the critical value for He: The underlying distribution is not skewed to the left of the median. This test is demonstrated in Example 7.13. EXERCISES 7.1. The following data are the lengths of the menstrual cycle in a random sample of 15 women. Test the hypothesis that the mean length of human menstrual cycle is equal to a lunar month (a lunar month is 29.5 days). The data are 26, 24, 29, 33, 25, 26, 23, 30, 31, 30, 28,27,29,26, and 28 days. 7.2. A species of marine arthropod lives in seawater that contains calcium in a concentration of 32 mmole/kg of water.

Test the appropriate hypothesis to conclude whether members of this species maintain a coelomic calcium concentration less than that of their environment. 7.3.

CODING DATA

Among the most commonly employed hiostatistical procedures is the comparison of two samples to infer whether differences exist between the two populations sampled. This chapter will consider hypotheses comparing two population means, medians, variances (or standard deviations), coefficients of variation, and indices of diversity. In doing so, we introduce another very important sampling distrihution, the F distrihution-named for its discoverer, R. A. Fisher-and will demonstrate further use of Student's t distribution. The objective of many two-sample hypotheses is to make inferences ahout population parameters by examining sample statistics. Other hypothesis-testing procedures, however, draw inferences about populations without referring to parameters. Such procedures are called nonparametric methods, and several will be discussed in this and following chapters. 8.1

TESTING FOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO MEANS A very common situation for statistical testing is where a researcher desires to infer whether two population means are the same. This can be done by analyzing the difference between the means of samples taken at random from those populations. Example 8.1 presents the results of an experiment in which adult male rabbits were divided at random into two groups, one group of six and one group of seven." The members of the first group were given one kind of drug (called "B"), and the "Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (IX90-llJ02) is credited with the first explicit recommendation of the important concept or assigning subjects a/ random to groups for different experimental treatments (Bartlett. 1')65: Fisher. 19250: Rubin, 1990).

members of the second group were given another kind of drug (called "G "). Blood is to be taken from each rabbit and the time it takes the blood to clot is to be recorded.

We conclude that mean blood-clotting time is not the same for subjects receiving drug B as it is for subjects receiving drug G. We can ask whether the mean of the population of blood-clotting times of all adult male rabbits who might have been administered drug B (Iefs call that mean J.LI) is the same as the population mean for blood-clotting times of al\ adult male rabbits who might have been given drug G (call it J.L2). This would involve the two-tailed hypotheses Ho: J.LI - J.L2 = 0 and HA: J.LI - J.L2 *- 0; and these hypotheses are commonly expressed in their equivalent forms: He; J.LI = J.L2 and HA: J.LI *- J.L2. The data from this experiment are presented in Example 8.1.

Chapter 8

Two-Sample Hypotheses In this example, a total of 13 members of a biological population (adult male rabbits) were divided at random into two experimental groups, each group to receive treatment with one of the drugs. Another kind of testing situation with two independent samples is where the two groups are predetermined. For example, instead of desiring to test the effect of two drugs on blood-clotting time, a researcher might want to compare the mean blood-clotting time of adult male rabbits to that of adult female rabbits, in which case one of the two samples would be composed of randomly chosen males and the other sample would comprise randomly selected females. In that situation, the researcher would not specify which rabbits will be designated as male and which as female; the sex of each animal (and, therefore, the experimental group to which each is assigned) is determined before the experiment is begun. Similarly, it might have been asked whether the mean blood-clotting time is the same in two strains (or two ages, or two colors) of rabbits. Thus, in Example 8.1 there is random allocation of animals to the two groups to be compared, while in the other examples in this paragraph, there is random sampling of animals within each of two groups that are already established. The statistical hypotheses and the statistical testing procedure are the same in both circumstances. If the two samples came from two normally distributed populations, and if the two populations have equal variances, then a t value to test such hypotheses may be calculated in a manner analogous to its computation for the one-sample ( test introduced in Section 7.1. The t for testing the preceding hypotheses concerning the difference between two population means is t

SXI-X2

The quantity X I X 2 is the difference between the two sample means; and SXI -X2 is the standard error of the difference between the sample means (explained further below), which is a measure of the variability of the data within the two samples. Therefore, Equation 8.1 compares the differences between two means to the differences among all the data (a concept to be enlarged upon when comparing more than two means-in Chapter 10 and beyond). The quantity Sx I -x 2 ' along with s~X'1- -x'2 the variance of the difference between the means, needs to be considered further. Both s~x v and Sx -x are statistics that can 1-/\2 1 2 be calculated from the sample data and are estimates of the population parameters, O"~x -x2 and O"xI -x 2 ' respectively. It can be shown mathematically that the variance 1of the difference between two independent variables is equal to the sum of the variances of the two variables, so that O"~x -x2 = O"~ + O"~t .

(a) One-Tailed Hypotheses about the Difference between Means. One-tailed hypotheses can be tested in situations where the investigator is interested in detecting a difference in only one direction. For example, a gardener may use a particular fertilizer for a particular kind of plant, and a new fertilizer is advertised as being an improvement. Let us say that plant height at maturity is an important characteristic of this kind of plant, with taller plants being preferable. An experiment was run, raising ten plants on the present fertilizer and eight on the new one, with the resultant eighteen plant heights shown in Example 8.2. If the new fertilizer produces plants that are shorter than, or the same height as, plants grown with the present fertilizer, then we shall decide that the advertising claims are unfounded; therefore, the statements of ILl > IL2 and ILl = IL2 belong in the same hypothesis, namely the null hypothesis, Ho, If, however, mean plant height is indeed greater with the newer fertilizer, then it shall be declared to be distinctly better, with the alternate hypothesis (H A: ILl < J.L2) concluded to be the true statement. The t statistic is calculated by Equation 8.1, just as for the two-tailed test. But this calculated t is then compared with the critical value ta( I),v, rather than with fa(2)Y· A Two-Sample t Test for the One-Tailed Hypotheses, Ho:

Lastly, He: J-LI ~ J-L2 and HA: J-LI < J-L2 may be written as Ho: J-Ll - J-L2 ~ 0 and HA: J-LI - J-L2 < 0, and the generalized one-tailed hypotheses of this type are Ho: J-Ll - J-L2 ~ J-LO and HA: J-Ll - J-L2 < J-LO, with the appropriate t statistic being that of Equation 8.10. For example, the gardener collecting the data of Example 8.2 may have decided, because the newer fertilizer is more expensive than the other, that it should be used only if the plants grown with it averaged at least 5.0 cm taller than plants grown with the present fertilizer. Then, J-LO = J-LI - J-L2 = -5.0 em and, by Equation 8.10, we would calculate t = (51.91 - 56.55 + 5.0)/1.55 = 0.36/1.55 = 0.232, which is not ~ the critical value shown in Example 8.2; so Ho: J-LI - J-L2 ~ -5.0 em is not rejected.

(b) Violations of the Two-Sample t-test Assumptions. The validity of two-sample t testing depends upon two basic assumptions: that the two samples came at random from normal populations and that the two populations had the same variance. Populations of biological data will not have distributions that are exactly normal or variances that are exactly the same. Therefore, it is fortunate that numerous studies, over 70 years, have shown that this t test is robust enough to withstand considerable nonnormality and some inequality of variances. This is especially so if the two sample sizes are equal or nearly equal, particularly when two-tailed hypotheses are tested (e.g., Boneau, 1960; Box, 1953; Cochran, 1947; Havlicek and Peterson, 1974; Posten, Yen, and Owen, 1982; Srivastava, 1958; Stonehouse and Forrester, 1998; Tan, 1982; Welch, 1938) but also in one-tailed testing (Posten, 1992). In general, the larger and the more equal in size the samples are, the more robust the test will be; and sample sizes of at least 30 provide considerable resistance effects of violating the r-test assumptions when testing at a = 5% (i.e., the 0.05 level of signficance), regardless of the disparity between and u~ (Donaldson, 1968; Ramsey, 1980; Stonehouse and Forrester, 1998); larger sample sizes are needed for smaller a's, smaller n 's will suffice for larger significance levels, and larger samples are required for larger differences between Uj and U2. Hsu (1938) reported remarkable robustness, even in the presence of very unequal variances and very small samples, if n j = n: + 1 and > u~. So, if it is believed (by inspecting and s~) that the population variances and u~) are dissimilar, one might plan experiments that have samples that are unequal in size by 1, where the larger sample comes from the population with the larger variance. But the procedure of Section 8.1c, below, has received a far greater amount of study and is much more commonly employed. The two-sample [ test is very robust to non normality if the population variances are the same (Kohr and Games, 1974; Posten, 1992; Posten, Yeh, and Owen, 1982; Ramsey, 1980; Stonehouse and Forrester, 1998; Tomarkin and Serlin, 1986). If the two populations have the same variance and the same shape, the test works well even if that shape is extremely nonnormal (Stonehouse and Forrester, 1998; Tan, 1982). Havlicek and Peterson (1974) specifically discuss the effect of skewness and leptokurtosis. If the population variances are unequal but the sample sizes are the same, then the probability of a Type I error will tend to be greater than the stated a (Havlicek and Peterson, 1974; Ramsey, 1980), and the test is said to be liberal. As seen in Table 8.1a, this departure from a will be less for smaller differences between and u~ and for larger sample sizes. (The situation with the most heterogeneous variances is where is zero (0) or infinity ((X).) If the two variances are not equal and the two sample sizes are not equal, then the probability of a Type I error will differ from the stated a. If the larger u2 is associated with the larger sample, this probability will be less than the stated a (and the test is called conservative) and this probability will be greater than the stated a (and the test is called liberal) if the smaller sample came from the population with the larger variance (Havlicek and Peterson, 1974; Ramsey, 1980; Stonehouse and Forrester, 1998; Zimmerman, 1987).* The greater the difference between variances, the greater will be the disparity between the probability of a Type I error and the specified a, larger differences will also result in greater departure from a.

shows this for various sample sizes. For example, Table 8.1a indicates that if 20 data are distributed as n 1 = nz = 10 and the two-tailed t test is performed at the 0.05 significance level, the probability of a Type 1 error approaches 0.065 for greatly divergent population variances. But in Table 8.1b we see that if a = 0.05 is used and 20 data are distributed as = 9 and rn = 11, then the probability of a Type I error can be as small as 0.042 (if the sample of 11 came from the population with the larger variance) or as large as 0.096 (if the sample of 9 came from the population with the smaller variance). Section 6.3b explained that a decrease in the probability of the Type I error (a) is associated with an increase in the probability of a Type II error (f3); and, because power is 1 - {3, an increase in {3 means a decrease in the power of the test (1 - (3). Therefore, for situations described above as conservative-that is, P(Type 1 error) 1 and 17, > 172, then this error is near the a specified for the significance test; when r > 1 and 17, < 172, then the error diverges from that a to an extent reflecting the magnitude of r and the difference betwen 17 I and 172. And, if r < 1, then the error is close to the stated a if 171 < 172, and it departs from that a if 17, > 172 (differing to a greater extent as the difference between the sample sizes is larger and the size of r is greater). But, larger sample sizes result in less departure from the a used in the hypothesis test. The effect of heterogeneous variances on the t test can be profound. For example, Best and Rayner (1987) estimated that a t test with 17, = 5 and 172 = 15, and uJ/ U2 = 4, has a probabilty of a Type I error using t of about 0.16; and, for those sample sizes when u,1 U2 = 0.25, P(Type I error) is about 0.01; but the probability of that error in those cases is near 0.05 if t' is employed. When the two variances are unequal, the Brown-Forsythe test mentioned in Section 10.1g could also be employed and would be expected to perform similarly to the Behrens-Fisher test, though generally not as well. If the Behrens-Fisher test concludes difference between the means, a confidence interval for that difference may be obtained in a manner analogous to that in Section 8.2: The procedure is to substitute s '-x -x for Sy -x and to use v ' instead of u in 12 1 2 Equation 8.14. Because the t test is adversely affected by heterogeneity of variances, some authors have recommended a two-step testing process: (1) The two sample variances are compared, and (2) only if the two population variances are concluded to be similar should the t test be employed. The similarity of variances may be tested by the procedures of Section 8.5. However, considering that the Behrens-Fisher t' test is so robust to variance inequality (and that the most common variance-comparison test performs very poorly when the distributions are nonnormal or asymmetrical), the routine test of variances is not recommended as a precursor to the testing of means by either t or t (even though some statistical software packages perform such a test). Gans (1991) and Markowski and Markowski (1990) enlarge upon this conclusion; Moser and Stevens (1992) explain that there is no circumstance when the testing of means using either t or t' is improved by preliminary testing of variances; and Sawilowski (2002) and Wehrhahn and Ogawa (1978) state that the t test's probability of a Type 1 error may differ greatly from the stated a if such two-step testing is employed.

(d) Which Two-Sample Test to Use. It is very important to inform the reader of a research report specifically what statistical procedures were used in the presentation and analysis of data. It is also generally advisable to report the size (17), the mean (X), and the variability (variance, standard deviation, or standard error) of each group of data; and confidence limits for each mean and for the difference between the means (Section 8.2) may be expressed if the mean came from a normally distributed population. Visualization of the relative magnitudes of means and measures of variability may be aided by tables or graphs such as described in Section 7.4.

Chapter 8


Major choices of statistical methods for comparing two samples are as follows: • If the two sampled populations are normally distributed and have identical variances (or if they are only slightly to moderately nonnormal and have similar variances): The t test for difference between means is appropriate and preferable. (However, as samples nearly always come from distributions that are not exactly normal with exactly the same variances, conclusions to reject or not reject a null hypothesis should not be considered definitive when the probability associated with t is very near the specified cr. For example, if testing at the 5% level of significance, it should not be emphatically declared that Hi, is false if the probability of the calculated tis 0.048. The conclusion should be expressed with caution and, if feasible, the experiment should be repeated-perhaps with more data.) • If the two sampled populations are distributed normally (or are only slightly to moderately nonnormal), but they have very dissimilar variances: The Behrens-Fisher test of Section 8.1c is appropriate and preferable to compare the two means. • If the two sampled populations are very different from normally distributed, but they have similar distribution shapes and variances: The Mann-Whitney test of Section 8.11 is appropriate and preferable. • If the two sampled populations have distributions greatly different from normal and do not have similar distributions and variances: (1) Consider the procedures of Chapter 13 for data that do not exhibit normality and variance equality but that can be transformed into data that are normal and homogeneous of variance; or (2) refer to the procedure mentioned at the end of Section 8.11, which modifies the Mann-Whitney test for Behrens-Fisher situations; or (3) report the mean and variability for each of the samples, perhaps also presenting them in tables and/or graphs (as in Section 7.4), and do not perform hypothesis testing.* (e) Replication of Data. It is important to use data that are true replicates of the variable to be tested (and recall that a replicate is the smallest experimental unit to which a treatment is independently applied). Tn Example 8.1 the purpose of the experiment was to ask whether there is a difference in blood-clotting times between persons administered two different drugs. This necessitates obtaining a blood measurement on each of n1 individuals in the first sample (receiving one of the drugs) and n: individuals in the second sample (receiving the other drug). It would not be valid to use n1 measurements from a single person and ti: measurements from another person, and to do so would be engaging in what Hurlbert (1984), and subsequently many others, discuss as pseudoreplication. 8.2

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR POPULATION MEANS

In Section 7.3, we defined the confidence interval for a population mean as X ± ta(2).vsy, where sy is the best estimate of ify and is calculated as ~s2/n. For the * Another procedure, seldom encountered but highly recommended by Yuen (1974). is to perform the Behrens-Fisher test on trimmed means (also known as "truncated means"). A trimmed mean is a sample mean calculated after deleting data from the extremes of the tails of the data distribution. There is no stipulated number of data to be deleted. but it is generally the same number for each tail. The degrees of freedom are those pertaining to the number of data remaining after the deletion.

confidence interval for IL2 would be 9.74 min ± (2.201 )(0.27 min) = 9.74 min ± 0.59 min, so that LI (the lower confidence limit) = 9.15 min and L2 (the upper confidence limit) = 10.33 min, and we can declare with 95% confidence that, for the population of blood-clotting times after treatment with drug G, the population mean, IL2, is no smaller than 9.15 min and no larger than 10.33 min. This may be written as P(9.15 min :::; IL2 :::; 10.33 min) = 0.95. The confidence interval for the population mean of data after treatment with drug B would be 8.75 min ±(2.201)JO.5193 min2/6 = 8.75 min ± O.64min; so LI = 8.11 min and L2 = 9.39 min. Further interpretation of the meaning of the confidence interval for each of these two population means is in Section 7.3. Confidence limits for the difference between the two population means can also be computed. The 1 - a confidence interval for ILl - IL2 is (8.14) Thus, for Example 8.1, the 95% confidence interval for ILl - IL2 is (8.75 min 9.74 min) ± (2.201 )(0.40 min) = -0.99 min ± 0.88 min. Thus, LI = -1.87 min and L2 = -0.11 min, and we can write P( -1.87 min :::; ILl - IL2 :::; -0.11 min) = 0.95. If He: ILl = IL2 is not rejected, then both samples are concluded to have come from populations having identical means, the common mean being denoted as IL. The best estimate of IL is the "pooled" or "weighted" mean: X

If Ho is not rejected, it is the confidence interval of Equation 8.16, rather than those of Equations 8.13 and 8.14, that one would calculate. As is the case with the t test, these confidence intervals are computed with the assumption that the two samples came from normal populations with the same variance. If the sampled distributions are far from meeting these conditions, then confidence intervals should be eschewed or, if they are reported, they should be presented with the caveat that they are only approximate. If a separate 1 - a confidence interval is calculated for ILl and for IL2, it may be tempting to draw a conclusion about He: ILl = IL2 by observing whether the two confidence intervals overlap. Overlap is the situation where L, for the larger mean is less than L2 for the smaller mean, and such conclusions are made visually

enticing if the confidence intervals are presented in a graph (such as in Figure 7.5) or in a table (e.g., as in Table 7.3b). However, this is not a valid procedure for hypothesis testing (e.g., Barr, 1969; Browne, 1979; Ryan and Leadbetter, 2002; Schenker and Gentleman, 2001). If there is no overlap and the population means are consequently concluded to be different, this inference will be associated with a Type I error probability less than the specified 0' (very much less if the two standard errors are similar); and if there is overlap, resulting in failure to reject Ho, this conclusion will be associated with a probability of a Type II error greater than (i.e., a power less than) if the appropriate testing method were used. As an illustration if this, the data of Example 8.1 yield L, = 8.11 min and L2 = 9.39 min for the mean of group Band L, = 9.15 min and L2 = 10.33 min for the mean of group G; and the two confidence intervals overlap even though the null hypothesis is rejected. (a) One-Tailed Confidence Limits for Difference between Means. If the two-sample t test is performed to assess one-tailed hypotheses (Section 7.2), then it is appropriate to determine a one-tailed confidence interval (as was done in Section 7.3a following a one-tailed one-sample t test). Using one-tailed critical values of t, the following confidence limits apply: For Ho:

(b) Confidence Limits for Means when Variances Are Unequal. If the population variances arc judged to be different enough to warrant using the Behrens-Fisher test (Section 8.1c) for H«: ILl = IL2, then the computation of confidence limits is altered from that shown above. If this test rejects the null hypothesis, a confidence interval for each of the two population means (ILl and IL2) and a CI for the difference between the means (ILl - IL2) should be determined. The 1 - 0' confidence interval for ILi is obtained as -

The confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is computed to be (8.18) rather than by Equation 8.14, where s-x' -x is from Equation 8.11a or 8.11b. 12 One-tailed confidence intervals are obtained as shown in Section 8.2a above, but using s-x'1 - -x2 instead of sx 1 -x 2 . A confidence interval (two-tailed or one-tailed) for ILl - IL2 includes zero when the associated Ho is not rejected.

Section 8.2

Confidence Limits for Population Means

In Example 8.2a, Hi, is rejected, so it is appropriate to determine a 95% CI for ILl, which is 37.4 ± 2.274.J137 = 37.4 days ± 2.7 days; for IL2, which is 46.0 ± 2.274 )10.93 = 46.0 days ± 7.5 days; and for ILl - IL2, which is 37.4 - 46.0 ± (2.274 )(3.51) = -8.6 days ± 7.98 days. If He: ILl = IL2 is not rejected, then a confidence interval for the common mean, Xp (Equation 8.15), may be obtained by using the variance of the combined data from the two samples (call it 5~) and the degrees of freedom for those combined data (Vt = 111 + 112 - 1): (8.19)

(c) Prediction Limits. As introduced in Section 7.3b, we can predict statistical characteristics of future sampling from populations from which samples have previously been analyzed. Such a desire might arise with data from an experiment such as in Example 8.1. Data were obtained from six animals treated with one drug and from seven animals treated with a second drug; and the mean blood-clotting times were concluded to be different under these two treatments. Equations 8.14 and S.18 showed how confidence intervals can be obtained for the difference between means of two samples. It could also be asked what the difference between the means would be of an additional sample of ml animals treated with the first drug and a sample of an additional m2 animals treated with the second. For those two additional samples the best prediction of the difference between the two sample means would be XI - X2,whichinExampleS.1is8.75min - 9.74min = -0.99 min; and there would be a 1 - 0' probability that the difference between the two means would be contained in this prediction interval: Xj

(Hahn, 1977). For example, if an additional sample of 10 data were to be obtained for treatment with the first drug and an additional sample of 12 were to be acquired for treatment with the second drug, the 95% prediction limits for the difference between means would employ 5~ = 0.5193 min", 11I = 6, 112= 7, ml = 10, mz = 12, to.05(2).v=2.201. and u = 11; and 5~ = 0.51 min, so the 95% prediction limits would be LI = -2.11 min and L2 = 0.13 min. As the above procedure uses the pooled variance, 5~, it assumes that the two sampled populations have equal variances. If the two variances are thought to be quite different (the Behrens-Fisher situation discussed in Section 8.1c), then it is preferable to calculate the prediction interval as Xj

2. Sample sizes not large enough to result in detection of a difference of biological importance can expend resources without yielding useful results, and sample sizes larger than needed to detect a difference of biological importance can result in unnecessary expenditure of resources. 3. Sample sizes not large enough to detect a difference of biological importance can expose subjects in the study to potentially harmful factors without advancing knowledge, and sample sizes larger than needed to detect a difference of biological importance can expose more subjects than necessary to potentially harmful factors or deny them exposure to potentially beneficial ones. Assuming each sample comes from a normal population and the population variances are similar, we can estimate the minimum sample size to use to achieve desired test characteristics: 2S2 n;:::

t/3( 1).1')2

(8.22)

(Cochran and Cox, 1957: 19-21).* Here, 8 is the smallest population difference we wish to detect: 8 = fLI - fL2 for the hypothesis test for which Equation 8.1 is used; 8 = IfLI - fL21 - fLO when Equation 8.9 is appropriate; 8 = fL I - fL2 - fLa when performing a test using Equation 8.10. In Equation 8.22, ta.v may be either ta( I ).1' or ta(2).v, depending, respectively, on whether a one-tailed or two-tailed test is to be performed. Note that the required sample size depends on the following four quantities: • 8, the minimum detectable difference between population means.l If we desire to detect a very small difference between means, then we shall need a larger sample than if we wished to detect only large differences. • 0.2, the population variance. If the variability within samples is great, then a larger sample size is required to achieve a given ability of the test to detect differences between means. We need to know the variability to expect among the data; assuming the variance is the same in each of the two populations sampled, 0.2 is estimated by the pooled variance, s~' obtained from similar studies. • The significance level, lX. If we perform the t test at a low lX, then the critical value, fa.v, will be large and a large n is required to achieve a given ability to detect differences between means. That is, if we desire a low probability of committing a Type I error (i.e., falsely rejecting Ho), then we need large sample SIzes. • The power of the test, 1 - f3. If we desire a test with a high probability of detecting a difference between population means (i.e., a low probability of committing a Type II error), then f3( 1) will be small, t/3( I) will be large, and large sample sizes are required. Example 8.4 shows how the needed sample size may be estimated. As ta(2).'J and depend on n, which is not yet known, Equation 8.22 must be solved iteratively, as we did with Equation 7.10. It matters little if the initial guess for n is inaccurate. Each iterative step will bring the estimate of n closer to the final result (which is

t/3( I).1'

*The method of Section 10.3 may also be used for estimation of sample size, but it offers no substantial advantage over the present procedure. '1'8 is lowercase Greek delta. If /-LO in the statistical hypotheses is not zero (see discussion surrounding Equations 8.9 and iI.10), then 8 is the amount by which the absolute value of the difference between the population means differs from /-L()-

declared when two successive iterations fail to change the value of n rounded to the next highest integer). In general, however, fewer iterations are required (i.e., the process is quicker) if one guesses high instead of low.

EXAMPLE 8.4

Estimation of Required Sample Size for a Two-Sample t

Test We desire to test for significant difference between the mean blood-clotting times of persons using two different drugs. We wish to test at the 0.05 level of significance, with a 90% chance of detecting a true difference between population means as small as 0.5 min. The within-population variability, based on a previous study of this type (Example 8.1), is estimated to be 0.52 mirr'. Let us guess that sample sizes of 100 will be required. Then, u = 2( n - 1) = 2(100 - 1) = 198,to.05(2).198::::;1.972,{3 = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10,tO.l0(1),198 = 1.286, and we calculate (by Equation 8.22): n

2

2( 0.52) (1.972 (0.5 )2

Let us now use n = 45 to determine to.10(1).88= 1.291, and n2

to.05(2),88

1.987,

+ 1.291)2 = 44.7.

Therefore, we conclude that each of the two samples should contain at least 45 data. If n] were constrained to be 30, then, using Equation 8.21, the required ri: would be (44.7) (30) n2 = 2(30) _ 44.7 = 88.

For a given total number of data (n] + 112),maximum test power and robustness occur when 111= 112(i.e., the sample sizes are equal). There are occasions, however, when equal sample sizes are impossible or impractical. If, for example, 111were fixed, then we would first determine 11by Equation 8.22 and then find the required size of the second sample by Equation 8.21, as shown in Example 8.4. Note, from this example, that a total of 45 + 45 = 90 data are required in the two equal-sized samples to achieve the desired power, whereas a total of 30 + 88 = 118 data are needed if the two samples are as unequal as in this example. If 2n - 1 ~ 0, then see the discussion following Equation 8.21. (b) Minimum Detectable

which is analogous to Equation 7.12 in Section 7.7. On computing f{3(I).'" one can consult Appendix Table 8.3 to determine f3( 1), whereupon 1 ~ f3( 1) is the power. But this generally will only result in declaring a range of power (c.g., 0.7S < power < 0.90). Some computer programs can provide the exact probability of f3( 1), or we may, with only slight overestimation of power (as noted in the footnote in Section 7.7) consider f{3( I) to be approximated by a normal deviate and may thus employ Appendix Table B.2. If the two population variances arc not assumed to be the same, then would be used in place of

By noting where 4> vertically intersects the curve for the appropriate u, one can read across to either the left or right axis to find the estimate of power. As noted in Section 7.7c, the calculated power is an estimate of the probability of rejecting a false null hypothesis in future statistical tests; it is not the probability of rejecting Ho in tests performed on the present set of data.

(d) Unequal Sample Sizes. For a given total number of data, n] + n2, the twosample t test has maximum power and robustness when n] = na. However, if nl =F na, the above procedure for determining minimum detectable difference (Equation 8.23) and power (Equations 8.24 and 8.25) can be performed using the harmonic mean of the two sample sizes (Cohen, 1988: 42): n=

6 + 7 ~.5 TESTING FOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO VARIANCES If we have two samples of measurements, each sample taken at random from a normal population, we might ask if the variances of the two populations are equal. Consider the data of Example 8.7, where the estimate of is 21.87 rnoths/, and s~, the estimate of u~, is 12.90 moths-. The two-tailed hypotheses can be stated as Ho: = and HA: =F and we can ask, What is the probability of taking two samples from two populations having identical variances and having the two sample variances be as different as are and s~? If this probability is rather low (say s O.OS, as in previous chapters), then we reject the veracity of Ho and conclude that the two samples came from populations having unequal variances. If the probability is greater

s[

That is, the larger variance is placed in the numerator and the smaller in the denominator. We then ask whether the calculated ratio of sample variances (i.e., F) deviates so far from 1.0 as to enable us to reject Hi, at the 0' level of significance. For the data in Example 8.7, the calculated F is 1.70. The critical value, FO.05(2),[O,9, is obtained from Appendix Table BA and is found to be 3.59. As 1.70 < 3.59, we do not reject Hot. Note that we consider degrees of freedom associated with the variances in both the numerator and denominator of the variance ratio. Furthermore, it is important to realize that Fa,IIl,II2 and Fa,II2,IIl are not the same (unless, of course, V[ = V2), so the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom must be referred to in the correct order. If Ho: O"T = O"~ is not rejected, then sT and s~ are assumed to be estimates of the same population variance, 0"2. The best estimate of this 0"2 that underlies both samples is called the pooled variance (introduced as Equation 804): V[ST VI

+ V2S~ + v:

(8.28)

One-tailed hypotheses may also be submitted to the variance ratio test. For He: O"T 2::: O"~ and H A: O"T < O"~,s~ is always used as the numerator of the variance ratio; for Ho: O"T ::; O"~ and HA: O"T > O"~,sT is always used as the numerator. (A look at the alternate hypothesis tells us which variance belongs in the numerator of F in order to make F > 1.) The critical value for a one-tailed test is Fa( I)'v1.1I2 from Appendix Table BA, where VI is the degrees of freedom associated with the numerator of F and V2 is the degrees of freedom associated with the denominator. Example 8.8 presents the data submitted to the hypothesis test for whether seeds planted in a greenhouse have less variability in germination time than seeds planted outside. The variance-ratio test is not a robust test, being severely and adversely affected by sampling nonnormal populations (e.g., Box, 1953; Church and Wike, 1976; Markowski and Markowski, 1990; Pearson, 1932; Tan, 1982), with deviations from mesokurtosis somewhat more important than asymmetry; and in cases of nonnormality the probability of a Type I error can be very much greater than 0'. *What we know as the F statistic is a ratio of the variances of two normal distributions and was first described by R. A. Fisher in 1924 (and published in 1928) (Lehmann, 1999); the statistic was named in his honor by G. W. Snedecor (1934: 15). "Some calculators and many computer programs have the capability of determining the probability of a given F. For the present example, we would thereby find that P( F 2: 1.70) = 0.44.

A large number of statistical procedures to test differences between variances have been proposed and evaluated (e.g., Brown and Forsythe, 1974c; Church and Wike, 1976; Draper and Hunter, 1969; Levene, 1960; Miller, 1972; O'Neill and Mathews, 2000), often with the goal of avoiding the

lack of robustness of the variance-ratio test when samples come from non normal populations of data. A commonly encountered one is Levene's test, and its various modifications, which is typically less affected by non normal distributions than the variance-ratio test is. The concept is to perform a two-sample t test (two-tailed or one-tailed, as the situation warrants; see Section 8.1), not on the values of X in the two samples but on values of the data after conversion to other quantities. A common conversion is to employ the deviations of each X from its group mean or median; that is, the two-sample t test is performed on IXij - Xii or on IXij - median of group il. Other

Section 8.5


155

data conversions, such as the square root or the logarithm of IXij - Xii, have also been examined (Brown and Forsythe, 1974c). Levene's test is demonstrated in Example 8.9 for two-tailed hypotheses, and X' is used to denote IXi - XI. This procedure may also be employed to test one-tailed hypotheses about variances, either Ho: (TT ;::::(T~ vs. HA: (TT < (T~, or He: (TT :::; (T~ vs. HA: (TT > (T~. This would be done by the one-tailed t-testing described in Section 8.1, using (T2 in place of JL in the hypothesis statements and using IXi - XI instead of Xi in the computations.

the calculated confidence intervals are only approximations, with the approximation poorer the further from normality the populations are. Meeker and Hahn (1980) discuss calculation of prediction limits for the variance ratio and provide special tables for that purpose. 8.7

SAMPLE SIZE AND POWER IN TESTS FOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO VARIANCES

(a) Sample Size Required. In considering the variance-ratio test of Section 8.5, we may ask what minimum sample sizes are required to achieve specified test characteristics. Using the normal approximation recommended by Desu and Raghavarao (1990: 35), the following number of data is needed in each sample to test at the a level of significance with power of 1 - f3: 2

This sample-size estimate assumes that the samples are to be equal in size, which is generally preferable. If, however, it is desired to have unequal sample sizes (which will typically require more total data to achieve a particular power), one may specify that VI is to be m times the size of V2; then (after Desu and Raghavarao, 1990: 35): m =

As in Section 8.5, determination of whether sf or s~ is placed in the numerator of the variance ratio in Equation 8.32 depends upon the hypothesis test, and Za is either a one-tailed or two-tailed normal deviate depending upon the hypothesis to be tested; nl and n2 correspond to sf and s~, respectively. This procedure is applicable if the variance ratio is > 1. (b) Power of the Test. We may also estimate what the power of the variance ratio test would be if specified sample sizes were used. If the two sample sizes are the same (i.e., n = nl = n2), then Equations 8.32 and 8.33 may be rearranged, respectively, as follows: (8.37)

A very useful property of coefficients of variation is that they have no units of measurement. Thus, V's may be compared even if they are calculated from data having different units, as is the case in Example 8.10. And it may be desired to test the null hypothesis that two samples came from populations with the same coefficients of variation. EXAMPLE 8.10 A Two-Tailed cients of Variation

Either two-tailed or one-tailed hypotheses may be tested, as shown in Section 8.5. This variance-ratio test requires that the logarithms of the data in each sample come from a normal distribution. A procedure advanced by Miller (1991) allows testing when the data, not their logarithms, are from normal distributions (that have positive means and variances).

is referred to as the "pooled coefficient of variation," which is the best estimate of the population coefficient of variation, a] /-t, that is common to both populations if the null hypothesis of no difference is true. This procedure is shown, as a two-tailed test, in Example 8.10b. Recall that critical values of 2 may be read from the last line of the table of critical values of t (Appendix Table B.3), so 2(1'(2) = t(l'(2),00' One-tailed testing is also possible, in which case the alternate hypothesis would declare a specific direction of difference and one-tailed critical values (too( I),(1') would be consulted. This test works best if there are at least 10 data in each sample and each population's coefficient of variation is no larger than 0.33. An estimate of the power of the test is given by Miller and Feltz (1997).

NONPARAMETRIC

STATISTICAL METHODS

There is a large body of statistical methods that do not require the estimation of population parameters (such as IL and CT) and that test hypotheses that are not statements about population parameters. These statistical procedures are termed nonparametric tests. * These are in contrast to procedures such as t tests, which are called parametric tests and which do rely upon estimates of population parameters and upon the statement of parameters in the statistical hypotheses. Although they may assume that the sampled populations have the same dispersion or shape, nonparametric methods typically do not make assumptions about the nature of the populations' distributions (e.g., there is no assumption of normality); thus they are sometimes referred to as distribution-free tests."!Both parametric and nonparametric tests require that the data have come at random from the sampled populations. Nonparametric tests (such as the two-sample testing procedure described in Section 8.11) generally may be applied to any situation where we would be justified in employing a parametric test (such as the two-sample t test), as well as in some instances where the assumptions of the latter are untenable. If either the parametric or nonparametric approach is applicable, then the former will generally be more powerful than the latter (i.e., the parametric method will typically have a lower probability of committing a Type II error). However, often the difference in power is not great and can be compensated by a small increase in sample size for the nonparametric test. When the underlying assumptions of a parametric test are seriously violated, then the non parametric counterpart may be decidedly more powerful. Most nonparametric statistical techniques convert observed data to the ranks of the data (i.e., their numerical order). For example, measurements of 2.1, 2.3, 2.9, 3.6, and 4.0 kg would be analyzed via their ranks of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A possible disadvantage of this rank transformation of data is that some information is lost (for example, the same ranks would result from measurements of 1.1, 1.3, 2.9, 4.6, and 5.0 kg). A possible advantage is that outliers (see Section 2.5) will have much less influence (for example, the same ranks would result from measurements of 2.1,2.3, 2.9,3.6, and 25.0 kg). It is sometimes counseled that only nonparametric testing may be employed when dealing with ordinal-scale data, but such advice is based upon what Gaito (1980) calls "an old misconception"; this issue is also discussed by Anderson (1961), Gaito (1960), Savage (1957), and Stevens (1968). Interval-scale or ratio-scale measurements are not intrinsically required for the application of parametric testing procedures. Thus parametric techniques may be considered for ordinal-scale data if the assumptions of such methods are met-typically, random sampling from normally distributed populations with homogeneity of variances. But ordinal data often come *The term nonparametric was first used by Jacob Wolfowitz in 1942 (David, 1995; Noether, 19/;4). tThe terms nonparametric and distribution-free are commonly used interchangeably, but they do not both define exactly the same set of statistical techniques (Noether, 1984).

from nonnormal populations, in which case properly subjecting them to parametric analysis depends upon the robustness of the test to the extent of nonnormality present. 8.11 TWO-SAMPLE

RANK TESTING

Several nonparametric procedures, with various characteristics and assumptions, have been proposed for testing differences between the dispersions, or variabilities, of two populations (e.g., see Hettmansperger and McKean, 1998: 118-127; Hollander and Wolfe, 1999: 141-188; Sprent and Smeeton, 2001: 175-185). A far more common desire for nonparametric testing is to compare two populations' central tendencies (i.e., locations on the measurement scale) when underlying assumptions of the t test are not met. The most frequently employed such test is that originally proposed, for equal sample sizes, by Wilcoxon (1945)* and independently presented by Mann and Whitney (1947), for equal or unequal n's. It is called the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test or, more commonly, the Mann-Whitney test. (a) The Mann-Whitney Test. For this test, as for many other nonparametric procedures, the actual measurements are not employed, but we use instead the ranks of the measurements. The data may be ranked either from the highest to lowest or from the lowest to the highest values. Example 8.11 ranks the measurements from highest to lowest: The greatest height in either of the two groups is given rank 1, the second greatest height is assigned rank 2, and so on, with the shortest height being assigned rank N, where (8.45) N = n) + n2. A Mann- Whitney statistic is then calculated as (8.46) where na and n2 are the number of observations in samples 1 and 2, respectively, and R) is the sum of the ranks in sample 1. The Mann-Whitney statistic can also be calculated as (8.47) (where R2 is the sum of the ranks of the observations in sample 2), because the labeling of the two samples as 1 and 2 is arbitrary." If Equation 8.46 has been used to calculate U, then U' can be obtained quickly as (8.48) *Wilcoxon may have proposed this test primarily to avoid the drudgery of performing numerous t tests in a time before ubiquitous computer availability (Noether, 1984). Kruskal (1957) gives additional history, including identification of seven independent developments of the procedure Wilcoxon introduced, two of them prior to Wilcoxon, the earliest being by the German psychologist Gustav Dcuchler in 1914. i'The Wilcoxon two-sample tcst (sometimes referred to as the Wilcoxon rank-sum test) uses a test statistic commonly called W, which is R) or R2; the test is equivalent to the Marin-Whitney test, for V = R2 - n2(n2 + 1 )/2 and V' = R) - n) (n) + 1 )/2. V (or V') is also equal to the number of data in one sample that are exceeded by each datum in the other sample. Note in Example 8.11: For females. ranks 7 and 8 each exceed 6 male ranks and ranks 10, 11, and 12 each exceed all 7 males ranks, for a total of 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 33 = V; for males, rank 9 exceeds 2 female ranks for a total of 2 = V'.

Therefore, we conclude that height is different for male and female students. and if Equation 8.47 has been used to compute V', then V can he ascertained as (8.49) * In many of the examples in this book, the exact probability of a statistic from a non parametric test (such as U) will be given within brackets. Tn some cases, this probability is obtainable from published sources (e.g., Owen, 1962). It may also be given by computer software, in which case there are two cautions: The computer result may not be accurate to the number of decimal places given, and the computer may have used an approximation (such as the normal approximation in the case of U; see Section 8.11 d), which may result in a probability departing substantially from the exact probability, especially if the sample sizes are small.

Section 8.11


165

For the two-tailed hypotheses, He: male and female students are the same height and HA: male and female students are not the same height, the calculated V or V'-whichever is larger-is compared with the two-tailed value of Vo:(2).I1j,n2 found in Appendix Table B.I1. This table is set up assuming nj ::; n2, so if n] > na, simply use Vo:(2).112,nj as the critical value. If either V or V'is as great as or greater than the critical value, Ho is rejected at the a level of significance. A large V or V' will result when a preponderance of the large ranks occurs in one of the samples. As shown in Example 8.11, neither parameters nor parameter estimates are employed in the statistical hypotheses or in the calculations of V and V'. The values of V in the table are those for probabilities less than or equal to the column headings. Therefore, the V of 32 in Example 8.11 is seen to have a probability of 0.01 < P ::; 0.02. If the calculated V would have been 31, its probability would have been expressed as 0.02 < P < 0.05. We may assign ranks either from large to small data (as in Example 8.11), or from small to large, calling the smallest datum rank 1, the next largest rank 2, and so on. The value of V obtained using one ranking procedure will be the same as the value of V' using the other procedure. In a two-tailed test both V and V' are employed, so it makes no difference from which direction the ranks are assigned. In summary, we note that after ranking the combined data of the two samples, we calculate V and V' using either Equations 8.46 and 8.48, which requires the determination of R], or Equations 8.47 and 8.49, which requires R2. That is, the sum of the ranks for only one of the samples is needed. However, we may wish to compute both R] and R2 in order to perform the following check on the assignment of ranks (which is especially desirable in the somewhat more complex case of assigning ranks to tied data, as will be shown below):

Thus, in Example 8.11,

+

should equal N(N

+ 1) = 12(12 + 1) =78. 2

2

This provides a check on (although it does not guarantee the accuracy of) the assignment of ranks. Note that hypotheses for the Mann- Whitney test are not statements about parameters (e.g., means or medians) of the two populations. Instead, they address the more general, less specific question of whether the two population distributions of data are the same. Basically, the question asked is whether it is likely that the two samples came at random from the two populations described in the null hypothesis. If samples at least that different would occur with a probability that is small (i.e., less than the significance level, such as 0.05), then Ho is rejected. The Mann- Whitney procedure serves to test for difference between medians under certain circumstances (such as when the two sampled populations have symmetrical distributions), but in general it addresses the less specific hypothesis of similarity between the two populations' distributions. The Watson test of Section 26.6 may also be employed when the Marin-Whitney test is applicable, but the latter is easier to perform and is more often found in statistical software.

Two-Sample

Hypotheses

(b) The Mann-Whitney Test with Tied Ranks. Example 8.12 demonstrates an important consideration encountered in tests requiring the ranking of observations. When two or more observations have exactly the same value, they are said to be tied. The rank assigned to each of the tied ranks is the mean of the ranks that would have been assigned to these ranks had they not been tied.* For example, in the present set of data, which are ranked from low to high, the third and fourth lowest values are tied at 32 words per minute, so they are each assigned the rank of (3 + 4 )/2 = 3.5. The eighth, ninth, and tenth observations are tied at 44 words per minute, so each of them receives the rank of (8 + 9 + 10)/3 = 9. Once the ranks have been assigned by this procedure, V and V' are calculated as previously described. (c) The One-Tailed Mann-Whitney Test. For one-tailed hypotheses we need to declare which tail of the Mann-Whitney distribution is of interest, as this will determine whether V or V'is the appropriate test statistic. This consideration is presented in Table 8.2. In Example 8.12 we have data that were ranked from lowest to highest and the alternate hypothesis states that the data in group 1 are greater in magnitude than those in group 2. Therefore, we need to compute V' and compare it to the one-tailed critical value, V0'( l).nl.n2' from Appendix Table B.11. TABLE 8.2: The Appropriate

(d) The Normal Approximation to the Mann-Whitney Test. Note that Appendix Table B.ll can be used only if the size of the smaller sample does not exceed twenty and the size of the larger sample does not exceed forty. Fortunately, the distribution of V approaches the normal distribution for larger samples. For large n, and n2 we use the fact that the V distribution has a mean of (8.51) which may be calculated, equivalently, as /LV

and a standard error of (8.52)

The continuity correction is included to account for the fact that Z is a continuous distribution, but V is a discrete distribution. However, it appears to be advisable only if the two-tailed P is about 0.05 or greater (as seen from an expansion of the presentation of Lehmann, 1975: 17). Recalling that the t distribution with v = 00 is identical to the normal distribution, the critical value, Za, is equal to the critical value, ta,oo. The normal approximation is demonstrated in Example 8.13. When using the normal approximation for two-tailed testing, only V or V' (not both) need be calculated. If Viis computed instead of U, then Viis simply substituted for V in Equation 8.53 or 8.54, the rest of the testing procedure remaining the same. EXAMPLE 8.13 The Normal Approximation to a One-Tailed Mann-Whitney Test to Determine Whether Animals Raised on a Dietary Supplement Reach a Greater Body Weight Than Those Raised on an Unsupplemented Diet In the experiment, 22 animals (group 1) were raised on the supplemented diet, and 46 were raised on the unsupplemented diet (group 2).

The resultant Z; is then compared to the one-tailed critical value, Za( I), or, equivalently, taCI ),00; and if Z ~ the critical value, then Ho is rejected.* If tied ranks exist and the normal approximation is utilized, the computations are slightly modified as follows. One should calculate the quantity (8.57) where Ii is the number of ties in a group of tied values, and the summation is performed over all groups of ties. Then, (8.58) and this value is used in place of that from Equation 8.52. (The computation of ~ tis demonstrated, in a similar context, in Example 10.11.) The normal approximation is best for a( 2) = 0.10 or 0.05 [or for a( 1) = 0.05 or 0.025] and is also good for a(2) = 0.20 or 0.02 [or for a(1) = 0.10 or 0.01]' with the approximation improving as sample sizes increase; for more extreme significance levels it is not as reliable, especially if nl and n2 are dissimilar. Fahoome (2002) determined that the normal approximation (Equation 8.53) performed well at the two-tailed 0.05 level of significance (i.e., the probability of a Type I error was between 0.045 and 0.055) for sample sizes as small as 15, and at a(2) = 0.01 (for P(Type I error) between 0.009 and 0.011) for n] and n2 of at least 29. Indeed, in many cases with even smaller sample sizes, the normal approximation also yields Type I error probabilities very close to the exact probabilities of V obtained from specialized computer software (especially if there are few or no ties)." Further observations on the accuracy of this approximation are given at the end of Appendix Table B.l1. Buckle, Kraft, and van Eeden (1969) propose another distribution, which they refer to as the "uniform approximation." They show it to be more accurate for n] n2, especially when the difference between n] and n2 is great, and especially for small a. Fix and Hodges (1955) describe an approximation to the Mann-Whitney distribution that is much more accurate than the normal approximation but requires very involved computation. Hodges, Ramsey, and Wechsler (1990) presented a simpler method for a modified normal approximation that provides very good results for probabilities of about 0.001 or greater. Also, the two-sample t test may be applied to the ranks of the data (what is known as using the rank transformation of the data), with the probability of the resultant t approaching the exact probability for very large n. But these procedures do not appear to he generally preferable to the normal approximation described above, at least for the probabilities most often of interest.

(e) The Mann-Whitney Test with Ordinal Data. The Marin-Whitney test may also be used for ordinal data. Example 8.14 demonstrates this procedure. In this example, 25 undergraduate students were enrolled in an invertebrate zoology course. Each student was guided through the course by one of two teaching assistants. but the same examinations and grading criteria were applied to all students. On the basis of the students' final grades in the course, we wish to test the null hypothesis that students (students in general, not just these 25) perform equally well under both teaching assistants. The variable measured (i.e., the final grade) results in ordinal data, and the hypothesis is amenable to examination by the Mann-Whitney test.

in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. In the paired-sample t test, n is the number of differences (i.e., the number of pairs of data), and the degrees of freedom are u = n - 1. Note that the hypotheses used in Example 9.1 are special cases of the general hypotheses Ho: /Lei = /LO and H/\: /Lei * /LO, where /LO is usually, but not always, zero. For one-tailed hypotheses with paired samples, one can test either He: /Ld ;::: /La and H/\: /Ld < /LO, or He: /Lei :::; /LO and HA: /Ld > /LO, depending on the question to be asked. Example 9.2 presents data from an experiment designed to test whether a new fertilizer results in an increase of more than 250 kg/ha in crop yield over the old fertilizer. For testing this hypothesis, 18 test plots of the crop were set up. It is probably unlikely to find 18 field plots having exactly the same conditions of soil, moisture, wind, and so on, but it should be possible to set up two plots with similar environmental conditions. If so, then the experimenter would be wise to set up nine pairs of plots, applying the new fertilizer .randomly to one plot of each pair and the old fertilizer to the other plot of that pair. As Example 9.2 shows, the statistical hypotheses to be tested are H«: /Ld :::; 250 kg/ha and H A: /Ld > 250 kg/ha. Paired-sample t-testing assumes that each datum in one sample is associated with one, but only one, datum in the other sample. So, in the last example, each yield using

new fertilizer is paired with only one yield using old fertilizer: and it would have been inappropriate to have some tracts of land large enough to collect two or more crop yields using each of the fertilizers. The paired-sample t test does not have the normality and equality of varianoes assumptions of the two-sample t test, but it does assume that the differences. d., come from a normally distributed population of differences. If a nonnormal distribution of differences is doubted, the non parametric test of Section 9.5 should be considered. If there is. in fact. pairwise association of data from the two samples, then analysis by the two-sample t test will often be less powerful than if the paired-sample t test was employed, and the two-sample test will not have a probability of a Type I error equal to the specified significance level. a. It appears that the latter probability will be increasingly less than a for increasingly large correlation between the pairwise data (and, in the less common situation where there is a negative correlation between the data, the probability will be greater than a): and only a small relationship is needed

Paired-Sample Hypotheses to make the paired-sample test advantageous (Hines, 1996; Pollak and Cohen, 1981; Zimmerman, 1997). If the data from Example 9.1 were subjected (inappropriately) to the two-sample t test, rather than to the paired-sample t test, a difference would not have been concluded, and a Type II error would have been committed.

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE POPULATION MEAN DIFFERENCE

In paired-sample testing we deal with a sample of differences, dj, so confidence limits for the mean of a population of differences, fLd, may be determined as in Section 7.3. In the manner of Equation 7.6, the 1 - ex confidence interval for fLd is

(9.2) For example, interval for fLd confidence limits Furthermore, 1 - ex confident 9.3

for the data in Example 9.1, we can compute the 95 % confidence to be 3.3 cm ± (2.262)(0.97 cm ) = 3.3 em ± 2.2 ern; the 95% are L] = 1.1 cm and L2 = 5.5 ern. we may ask, as in Section 7.5, how large a sample is required to be in estimating fLd to within ± d (using Equation 7.7).

POWER, DETECTABLE DIFFERENCE AND SAMPLE SIZE IN PAIRED-SAMPLE TESTING OF MEANS By considering the paired-sample test to be a one-sample t test for a sample differences, we may employ the procedures of Section 7.7 to acquire estimates required sample size (n), minimum detectable difference (8), and power (1 using Equations 7.10, 7.11, and 7.12, respectively.

TESTING FOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VARIANCES FROM TWO CORRELATED POPULATIONS The tests of Section 8.5 address hypotheses comparing O'T to O'~ when the two samples of data are independent. For example, if we wanted to compare the variance of the lengths of deer forelegs with the variance of deer hindlegs, we could measure a sample of foreleg lengths of several deer and a sample of hindleg lengths from a different group of deer. As these are independent samples, the variance of the foreleg sample could be compared to the variance of the hindleg sample by the procedures of Section 8.5. However, just as the paired-sample comparison of means is more powerful than independent-sample comparison of means when the data are paired (i.e., when there is an association between each member of one sample and a member of the other sampIe), there is a variance-comparison test more powerful than those of Section 8.5 if the data are paired (as they arc in Example 9.1). This test takes into account the amount of association between the members of the pairs of data, as presented by Snedecor and Cochran (1989: 192-193) based upon a procedure of Pitman (1939). We compute: (9.3) Here, n is the sample size common to both samples, r is the correlation coefficient described in Section 19.1 (Equation 19.1), and the degrees of freedom associated with t arc v = n - 2. For a two-tailed test (Ho: O'T = O'~ vs. HA: O'T i= O'~), either F = sTls~ or F = s~/sT may be used, as indicated in Equation 8.29, and H« is rejected if It I 2 ta(2),l" This is demonstrated in Example 9.3.

with n - 1 degrees of freedom. As shown at the end of Appendix Table B.12, this performs slightly better than the normal approximation (Equation 9.10). The test with a correction for continuity is performed by subtracting 0.5 from IT - J.LTI in both the numerator and denominator of Equation 9.15. This improves the test for er( 2) from 0.001 to 0.10, but the uncorrected t is better for er( 2) from 0.20 to 0.50. One-tailed t-testing is effected in a fashion similar to that described for Z in the preceding paragraph. * Fellingham and Stoker (1964) discuss a more accurate approximation, but it requires more computation, and for sample sizes beyond those in Table B.12 the increased accuracy is of no great consequence. (c) The Wilcoxon Paired-Sample Test for Ordinal Data. The Wilcoxon test nonparametrically examines differences between paired samples when the samples consist of interval-scale or ratio-scale data (such as in Example 9.4), which is legitimate because the paired differences can be meaningfully ordered. However, it may not work well with samples comprising ordinal-scale data because the differences between ordinal scores may not have a meaningful ordinal relationship to each other. For example, each of several frogs could have the intensity of its green skin color recorded on a scale of 1 (very pale green) to 10 (very deep green). Those data would represent an ordinal scale of measurement because a score of 10 indicates a more intense green than a score of 9, a 9 represents an intensity greater than an 8, and so on. Then the skin-color "When Appendix Table 8.12 cannot be used, a slightly improved approximation is effected comparing the mean of 1 and Z to the mean of the critical values of 1 and Z (Irnan, 1974a).

intensity could be recorded for these frogs after they were administered hormones for a period of time, and those data would also be ordinal. However, the differences between skin-color intensities before and after the hormonal treatment would not necessarily be ordinal data because, for example, the difference between a score of 5 and a score of 2 (a difference of 3) cannot be said to represent a difference in skin color that is greater than the difference between a score of 10 and a score of 8 (a difference of 2). To deal with such a situation, Kornbrot (1990) presented a modification of the Wilcoxon paired-sample test (which she called the "rank difference test"), along with tables to determine statistical significance of its results. (d) Wilcoxon Paired-Sample Test Hypotheses about a Specified Difference Other Than Zero. As indicated in Section 9.1, the paired-sample t test can be used for hypotheses proposing that the mean difference is something other than zero. Similarly, the Wilcoxon paired-sample test can examine whether paired differences are centered around a quantity other than zero. Thus, for data such as in Example 9.2, the nonparametric hypotheses could be stated as He: crop yield does not increase more than 250 kg/ha with the new fertilizer, versus HA : crop yield increases more than 250 kg/ha with the new fertilizer. In that case, each datum for the old-fertilizer treatment would be increased by 250 kg/ha (resulting in nine data of 1920, 2020, 2060 kg/ha, etc.) to be paired with the nine new-fertilizer data of 2250,2410,2260 kg/ha, and so on. Then, the Wilcoxon paired-sample test would be performed on those nine pairs of data. With ratio- or interval-scale data, it is also possible to propose hypotheses considering a multiplication, rather than an addition, constant. This concept is introduced at the end of Section 8.11f. 9.6

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE POPULATION

In Section 9.2, confidence limits were obtained for the mean of a population of differences. Given a population of differences, one can also determine confidence limits for the population median. This is done exactly as indicated in Section 7.10; simply consider the observed differences between members of pairs (dj) as a sample from a population of such differences. EXERCISES 9.1.

DATA

When measurements of a variable are obtained for each of two independently collected samples, hypotheses such as those described in Chapter 8 are appropriate. However, biologists often obtain data in the form of three or more samples, which are from three or more populations, a situation calling for multisarnplc analyses, as introduced in this chapter. It is tempting to some to test multisarnple hypotheses by applying two-sample tests to all possible pairs of samples. In this manner, for example, one might proceed to test the null hypothesis H(): fLI = fL2 = fL3 by testing each of the following hypotheses by the two-sample t test: 110: fLI = fL2, H(): fLI = fL3. Ho: fL2 = fL3. But such a procedure, employing a series of two-sample tests to address a multisample hypothesis, is invalid. The calculated lest statistic, t, and the critical values we find in the t table are designed to test whether the two sample statistics, XI and X2, are likely to have come from the same population (or from two populations with identical means). In properly employing the two-sample test, we could randomly draw two sample means from the same population and wrongly conclude that they are estimates of two different populations' means; but we know that the probability of this error (the Type I error) will he no greater than a. However, consider that three random samples were taken from a single population. In performing the three possible two-sample t tests indicated above, with a = 0.05, the probability of wrongly concluding that two of the means estimate different parameters is 14'7'0,considerably greater than a. Similarly, if a is set at 5% and four means are tested, two at a time, by the two-sample t test, there arc six pairwise 110 's to be tested in this fashion, and there is a 26% chance of wrongly concluding a difference between one or more of the means. Why is this? For each two-sample t test performed at the 5% level ofsignificanee, there is a 95°1 a], there will generally be more power than if the variances were equal. If the sample sizes are all equal, nonnormality generally affects the power of the analysis of variance to only a small extent (Clinch and Keselman, 1982; Glass, Peckham, and Sanders, 1972; Harwell et al., 1992; Tan, 1982), and the effect decreases with increased n (Donaldson, 1968). However, extreme skewness or kurtosis can severely alter (and reduce) the power (Games and Lucas, 1966), and non normal kurtosis generally has a more adverse effect than skewness (Sahai and Ageel, 2000: 85). With small samples, for example, very pronounced platykurtosis in the sampled populations will decrease the test's power, and strong Ieptokurtosis will increase it (Glass, Peckham, and Sanders, 1972). When sample sizes are not equal, the power is much reduced, especially when the large samples have small means (Boehnke, 1984). The robustness of random-effects (i.e .. Model II) analysis of variance (Section 10.If) has not been studied as much as that of the fixed-effects (Model I) ANOV A. However, the test appears to be robust to departures of normality within the k populations, though not as robust as Model I ANOV A (Sahai, 2000: 86), provided the k groups (levels) of data can be considered to have been selected at random from all possible groups and that the effect of each group on the variable can be considered to be from a normally distributed set of group effects. When the procedure is nonrobust, power appears to be affected more than the probability of a Type I error; and the lack of robustness is not very different if sample sizes are equal or unequal (Tan, 1982; Tan and Wong, 1980). The Model II analysis of variance (as is the case with the Model I ANOV A) also assumes that the k sampled populations have equal variances. (h) Testing of Multiple Means when Variances Are Unequal. Although testing hypotheses about means via analysis of variance is tolerant to small departures from the assumption of variance homogeneity when the sample sizes are equal. it can yield

very misleading results in the presence of more serious heterogeneity of variances and/or unequal sample sizes. Having unequal variances represents a multisample Behrens-Fisher problem (i.e., an extension of the two-sample Behrens-Fisher situation discussed in Section S.lc). Several approaches to this analysis have been proposed (e.g., see Keselman et aI., 2000; Lix, Keselman, and Keselman, 1996). A very good one is that described by Welch (1951), which employs k

If k = 2, both the F' and F" procedures are equivalent to the t' test. The Welch method (F') has been shown (by Brown and Forsythe, 1974a; BOning, 1997; Dijkstra and Werter, 1981; Harwell et al., 1992; Kohr and Games, 1974; Levy, 1978a; Lix, Keselman, and Keselman, 1996) to generally perform better than F or F" when population variances are unequal, especially when n/s are equal. However, the Welch test is liberal if the data come from highly skewed distributions (Clinch and Keselman, 1992; Lix, Keselman, and Keselman, 1996). Browne and Forsythe (1974a) reported that when variances are equal, the power of F is a little greater than the power of F', and that of F' is a little less than that of F". But if variances are not equal, F' has greater power than F" in cases where extremely low and high means are associated with low variances, and the power of F" is greater than that of F' when extreme means are associated with large variances. Also, in general, F' and F" are good if all n; 2 10 and F' is reasonably good if all n, 2 5. (i) Which Multisample Test to Use. As with all research reports, the reader should be informed of explicitly what procedures were used for any statistical analysis. And, when results involve the examination of means, that reporting should include the size (n), mean (X), and variability (e.g., standard deviation or standard error) of each sample. If the samples came from populations having close to normal distributions, then presentation of each sample's confidence limits (Section 10.2) might also be included. Additional interpretation of the results could include displaying the means and measures of variability via tables or graphs such as those described in Section 7.4. Although it not possible to generalize to all possible situations that might be encountered, the major approaches to comparing the means of k samples, where k is more than two, are as follows: • If the k sampled populations are normally distributed and have identical variances (or if they are only slightly to moderately non normal and have similar variances): The analysis of variance, using F, is appropriate and preferable to test for difference among the means. (However, samples nearly always come from distributions that are not exactly normal with exactly the same variances, so conclusions to reject or not reject a null hypothesis should not be considered definitive when the probability associated with F is very near the a specified for the hypothesis test; in such a situation the statistical conclusion should be expressed with some caution and, if feasible, the experiment should be repeated (perhaps with more data).

Chapter 10


• If the k sampled populations are distributed normally (or are only slightly to moderately nonnormal), but they have very dissimilar variances: The Behrens-Fisher testing of Section 10.1h is appropriate and preferable to compare the k means. If extremely high and low means are associated with small variances, F' is preferable; but if extreme means are associated with large variances, then F" works better. • If the k sampled populations are very different from normally distributed, but they have similar distributions and variances: The Kruskal-Wallis test of Section 10.4 is appropriate and preferable. • If the k sampled populations have distributions greatly different from normal and do not have similar distributions and variances: (1) Consider the procedures of Chapter 13 for data that do not exhibit normality and variance equality but that can be transformed into data that are normal and homogeneous of variance; or (2) report the mean and variability for each of the k samples, perhaps also presenting them in tables and/or graphs (as in Section 7.4), but do not perform hypothesis testing. (j) Outliers. A small number of data that are much more extreme than the rest of the measurements are called outliers (introduced in Section 2.5), and they may cause a sample to depart seriously from the assumptions of normality and variance equality. If, in the experiment of Example 10.1, a pig weight of 652 kg, or 7.12 kg, or 149 kg was reported, the researcher would likely suspect an error. Perhaps the first two of these measurements were the result of the careless reporting of weights of 65.2 kg and 71.2 kg, respectively; and perhaps the third was a weight measured in pounds and incorrectly reported as kilograms. If there is a convincingly explained error such as this, then an offending datum might be readily corrected. Or, if it is believed that a greatly disparate datum is the result of erroneous data collection (e.g., an errant technician, a contaminated reagent, or an instrumentation malfunction), then it might be discarded or replaced. In other cases outliers might be valid data, and their presence may indicate that one should not employ statistical analyses that require population normality and variance equality. There are statistical methods that are sometimes used to detect outliers, some of which are discussed by Barnett and Lewis (1994: Chapter 6), Snedecor and Cochran (1989: 280-281), and Thode (2002: Chapter 6). True outliers typically will have little or no influence on analyses employing non parametric two-sample tests (Sections 8.11 and 8.12) or muItisample tests (Section 10.4). 10.2

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR POPULATION MEANS

When k > 2, confidence limits for each of the k population means may be computed in a fashion analogous to that for the case where k = 2 (Section 8.2, Equation 8.13), under the same assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variances applicable to the ANOV A. The 1 - CI' confidence interval for /Li is (10.31) where s2 is the error mean square and u is the error degrees of freedom from the analysis of variance. For example, let us consider the 95% confidence interval for /L4

Section 10.3

Therefore, the lower 95% confidence limit, LI' is 63.24 kg - 2.131~9.383 kg /5 63.24 kg 3.999 kg = 59.24 kg, and L2 is 63.24 kg + 2.131~9.383 kg2/5 = 63.24 kg + 3.999 kg = 67.24 kg. Computing a confidence interval for J.Li would only be warranted if that population mean was concluded to be different from each other population mean. And calculation of a confidence interval for each of the k J.L'S may be performed only if it is concluded that J.LI # J.L2 # ... # J.Lk. However, the analysis of variance does not enable conclusions as to which population means are different from which. Therefore, we must first perform multiple comparison testing (Chapter 11), after which confidence intervals may be determined for each different population mean. Confidence intervals for differences between means may be calculated as shown in Section 11.2. SAMPLE SIZE, DETECTABLE DIFFERENCE, AND POWER IN ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

In Section 8.3, dealing with the difference between two means, we saw how to estimate the sample size required to predict a population difference with a specified level of confidence. When dealing with more than two means, we may also wish to determine the sample size necessary to estimate difference between any two population means, and the appropriate procedure will be found in Section 11.2. In Section 8.4, methods were presented for estimating the power of the twosample t test, the minimum sample size required for such a test, and the minimum difference between population means that is detectable by such a test. There are also procedures for analysis-of-variance situations, namely for dealing with more than two means. (The following discussion begins with consideration of Model I ~ fixed-effects model-s-analyses of variance.) If Hi, is true for an analysis of variance, then the variance ratio of Equation 10.18 follows the F distribution, this distribution being characterized by the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom (VI and V2, respectively). If, however, Ho is false, then the ratio of Groups MS to error MS follows instead what is known as the noncentral F distribution, which is defined by VI, V2, and a third quantity known as the noncentrality parameter. As power refers to probabilities of detecting a false null hypothesis, statistical discussions of the power of ANOV A testing depend upon the noncentral F distribution. A number of authors have described procedures for estimating the power of an ANOV A, or the required sample size, or the detectable difference among means (e.g., Bausell and Li, 2002; Cohen, 1988: Ch.8; Tiku, 1967, 1972), but the charts prepared by Pearson and Hartley (1951) provide one of the best of the methods and will be described below. (a) Power of the Test. Prior to performing an experiment and collecting data from it, it is appropriate and desirable to estimate the power of the proposed test. (Indeed, it is possible that on doing so one would conclude that the power likely will be so low that the experiment needs to be run with many more data or with fewer groups or, perhaps, not run at all.) Let us specify that an ANOV A involving k groups will be performed at the a significance level, with n data (i.e., replications) per group. We can then estimate the power of the test if we have an estimate of 0"2, the variability within the k populations (e.g., this estimate typically is s2 from similar experiments, where s2 is the error MS), and an estimate of the variability among the populations. From this information we

208

Chapter 10


may calculate a quantity called cjJ (lowercase Greek phi), which is related to the non centrality parameter. The variability among populations might be expressed in terms of deviations of the k population means, Jki, from the overall mean of all populations, Jk, in which case k

if all the samples are the same size. In practice, we employ the best available estimates of these population means. Once cjJ has been obtained, we consult Appendix Figure B.l. This figure consists of several pages, each with a different VI (i.e., groups DF) indicated at the upper left of the graph. Values of cjJ are indicated on the lower axis of the graph for both a = 0.01 and a = 0.05. Each of the curves on a graph is for a different V2 (i.e., error DF), for a = 0.01 or 0.05, identified on the top margin of a graph. After turning to the graph for the V1 at hand, one locates the point at which the calculated cjJ intersects the curve for the given V2 and reads horizontally to either the right or left axis to determine the power of the test. This procedure is demonstrated in Example 10.4.

EXAMPLE 10.4 Estimating the Power of an Analysis of Variance When Variability among Population Means Is Specified A proposed analysis of variance of plant root elongations is to comprise ten roots at each of four chemical treatments. From previous experiments, we estimate (T2 to be 7.5888 mm2 and estimate that two of the population means are 8.0 mrn, one is 9.0 mm, and one is 12.0 mm. What will be the power of the ANOV A if we test at the 0.05 level of significance? k=4 n = 10 VI = k - 1 = 3 V2 = k( n - 1) = 4( 9) = 36 fL = 8.0 + 8.0 + 9.0 + 12.0 4

In Appendix Figure B.1c, we enter the graph for VI = 3 with cp = 1.88, Cl' = 0.05, and V2 = 36 and read a power of about 0.88. Thus, there will be a 12% chance of committing a Type II error in the proposed analysis. An alternative, and common, way to estimate power is to specify the smallest difference we wish to detect between the two most different population means. Calling this minimum detectable difference 8, we compute (10.34) and proceed to consult Appendix Figure B.l as above, and as demonstrated in Example 10.5. This procedure leads us to the statement that the power will be at least that determined from Appendix Figure B.1 (and, indeed, it typically is greater). EXAMPLE 10.5 Estimating the Power of an Analysis of Variance When Minimum Detectable Difference Is Specified For the ANOV A proposed in Example 10.3, we do not estimate the population means, but rather specify that, using ten data per sample, we wish to detect a difference between population means of at least 4.0 mm. k=4 VI

In Appendix Figure B.1, we enter the graph for VI = 3 with CP = 1.62, Cl' = 0.05, and V2 = 36 and read a power of about 0.72. That is, there will be a 28% chance of committing a Type II error in the proposed analysis. It can be seen in Appendix Figure B.l that power increases rapidly as cp increases, and Equations 10.32 and 10.34 show that the power is affected in the following ways: • Power is greater for greater differences among group means (as expressed by '2.(/-Li ~ /-L)2 or by the minimum detectable difference, 8) . • Power is greater for larger sample sizes, n, (and it is greater when the sample sizes are equal).

These relationships are further demonstrated in Table 1O.3a (which shows that for a given total number of data, N, power increases with increased 8 and decreases with increased k) and Table 10.3b (in which, for a given sample size, ru, power is greater for larger 8's and is less for larger k's). The desirable power in performing a hypothesis test is arbitrary, just as the significance level (a) is arbitrary. A goal of power between 0.75 and 0.90 is often used, with power of 0.80 being common.

Section 10.3


211

Estimating the power of a proposed ANOV A may effect considerable savings in time, effort, and expense. For example, such an estimation might conclude that the power is so very low that the experiment, as planned, ought not to be performed. The proposed experimental design might be revised, perhaps by increasing n, or decreasing k, so as to render the results more likely to be conclusive. One may also strive to increase power by decreasing s2, which may be possible by using experimental subjects that are more homogeneous. For instance, if the 19 pigs in Example 10.1 were not all of the same age and breed and not all maintained at the same temperature, there might well be more weight variability within the four dietary groups than if all 19 were the same in all respects except diet. As noted for one-sample (Section 7.7) and two-sample (Section 8.4) testing, calculations of power (and of minimum required sample size and minimum detectable difference) and estimates apply to future samples, not to the samples already subjected to the ANOV A. There are both theoretical and practical reasons for this (Hoenig and Heisey, 2001). (b) Sample Size Required. Prior to performing an analysis of variance, we might ask how many data need to be obtained in order to achieve a desired power. We can specify the power with which we wish to detect a particular difference (say, a difference of biological significance) among the population means and then ask how large the sample from each population must be. This is done, with Equation 10.34, by iteration (i.e., by making an initial guess and repeatedly refining that estimate), as shown in Example 10.6. How well Equation 10.34 performs depends upon how good an estimate s2 is of the population variance common to all groups. As the excellence of s2 as an estimate improves with increased sample size, one should strive to calculate this statistic from a sample with a size that is not a very small fraction of the n estimated from Equation 10.34.

EXAMPLE10.6 ysis of Variance

Estimation of Required Sample Size for a One-Way Anal-

Let us propose an experiment such as that described in Example 10.1. How many replicate data should be collected in each of the four samples so as to have an 80% probability of detecting a difference between population means as small as 3.5 kg, testing at the 0.05 level of significance? In this situation, k = 4, VI = k - 1 = 3, 8 = 3.5 kg, and we shall assume (from the previous experiment in Example 10.1) that s2 = 9.383 kg2 is a good estimate of cr2. We could begin by guessing that n = 15 is required. Then, V2 = 4( 15 - 1) = 56, and by Equation 10.34, cjJ

Multisample

Hypotheses and the Analysis of Variance

Appendix Figure B1 indicates that this cp, for V2 = 4(20 - 1) = 76, is associated with a power of about 0.84. This power is somewhat higher than we specified, so we could recalculate power using n = 18: cp =

/ 18(3.5)2 \) 2(4)(9.383)

= 1.71

and, for V2 = 4( 18 - 1) = 68, Appendix Figure B.1 indicates a power slightly above 0.80. Thus, we have estimated that using sample sizes of at least 18 will result in an ANOV A of about 80% for the described experiment. (It will be seen that the use of Appendix Figure B.1 allows only approximate determinations of power; therefore, we may feel more comfortable in specifying that n should be at least 19 for each of the four samples.)

(c) Minimum Detectable Difference. If we specify the significance level and sample size for an ANOV A and the power that we desire the test to have, and if we have an estimate of 0'2, then we can ask what the smallest detectable difference between population means will be. This is sometimes called the "effect size." By entering on Appendix Figure B.1 the specified a, VI, and power, we can read a value of cp on the bottom axis. Then, by rearrangement of Equation 10.34, the minimum detectable difference is (10.35) Example 10.7 demonstrates

this estimation procedure.

EXAMPLE 10.7 Estimation of Minimum Detectable Difference in a OneWay Analysis of Variance In an experiment similar to that in Example 10.1, assuming that s/ = 9.3833 (kg)2 is a good estimate of 0'2, how small a difference between /L'S can we have 90% confidence of detecting if n = 10 and a = 0.05 are used? Ask = 4andn = 10,v2 = 4(10 - 1) = 36. For VI = 3,V2 = 36,1 - f3 = 0.90, and a = 0.05, Appendix Figure B.l c gives a cp of about 2.0, from which we compute an estimate of 8

(d) Maximum Number of Groups Testable. For a given a, n, 8, and 0'2, power will decrease as k increases. It may occur that the total number of observations, N, will be limited, and for given ANOV A specifications the number of experimental groups, k, may have to be limited. As Example 10.8 illustrates, the maximum k can be determined by trial-and-error estimation of power, using Equation 10.34.

EXAMPLE 10.8 Determination of Maximum Number of Groups to be Used in a One-Way Analysis of Variance Consider an experiment such as that in Example 10.1. Perhaps we have six feeds that might be tested, but we have only space and equipment to examine a total of 50 pigs. Let us specify that we wish to test, with a = 0.05 and {3::; 0.20 (i.e., power of at least 80%), and to detect a difference as small as 4.5 kg between population means. Ifk = 6wereused,thenn = 50/6 = 8.3 (call it Sj.v. = 5,V2 = 6(8 - 1) = 42, and (by Equation 10.34) cJ>

(e) Random-Effects Analysis of Variance. If the analysis of variance is a randomeffects model (described in Section 10.1f), the power, 1 - {3, may be determined from (10.36) (after Scheffe, 1959: 227; Winer, Brown, and Michels, 1979: 246). This is shown in Example 10.9. As with the fixed-effects ANOV A, power is greater with larger n, larger differences among groups, larger a, and smaller .'12.

By consulting Appendix Table B.4, it is seen that an F of 1.54, with degrees of freedom of 3 and 16, is associated with a one-tailed probability between 0.10 and 0.25. (The exact probability is 0.24.) This probability is the power. To determine required sample size in a random-effects analysis, one can specify values of (Y, groups MS, s2, and k. Then, VI = k - 1 and V2 = k( n - 1); and, by iterative trial and error, one can apply Equation 10.36 until the desired power (namely, 1 - (3) is obtained. 10.4

NONPARAMETRIC

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

If a set of data is collected according to a completely randomized design where k > 2, it is possible to test nonparametrically for difference among groups. This may be done by the Kruskal-Wallis test" (Kruskal and Wallis, 1952), often called an "analysis of variance by ranks. "t This test may be used in any situation where the parametric single-factor ANOV A (using F) of Section 10.1 is applicable, and it will be 3/7T (i.e., 95.5%) as powerful as the latter; and in other situations its power, relative to F, is never less than 86.4 % (Andrews, 1954; Conover 1999: 297). It may also be employed in instances where the latter is not applicable, in which case it may in fact be the more powerful test. The nonparametric analysis is especially desirable when the k samples do not come from normal populations (Kesel man, Rogan, and Feir-Walsh, 1977; Krutchkoff, 1998). It also performs acceptably if the populations have no more than slightly different dispersions and shapes; but if the k variances are not the same, then (as with the Mann-Whitney test) the probability of a Type I error departs from the specified in accordance with the magnitude of those differences (Zimmerman, 2000).j: As with the parametric analysis of variance (Section 10.1), the Kruskal- Wallis test tends to be more powerful with larger sample sizes, and the power is less when the n/s are not equal, especially if the large means are associated with the small ni's (Boehnke, 1984); and it tends to be conservative if the groups with large ni's have high within-groups variability and liberal if the large samples have low variability (Keselman, Rogan, and Feir-Walsh, 1997). Boehnke (1984) advises against using the Kruskal-Wallis test unless N > 20. If k = 2, then the Kruskal- Wallis test is equivalent to the Marin-Whitney test of Section 8.11. Like the Marin-Whitney test, the Kruskal- Wallis procedure does (Y

*William Henry Kruskal (b. 1919), American statistician, and Wilson Allen Wallis (b. 1912), American statistician and econometrician. t As will be seen, this procedure does not involve variances, but the term nonparametric analysis of variance is commonly applied to it in recognition that the test is a non parametric analog to the parametric ANOV A. +Modifications of the Kruskal-Wallis test have been proposed for nonparametric situations where the k variances are not equal (the "Behrens-Fisher problem" addressed parametrically in Section 10.1 h) but the k populations are symmetrical (Rust and Fligner, 1984; Conover 1999: 223-224).

not test whether means (or medians or other parameters) may be concluded to be different from each other, but instead addresses the more general question of whether the sampled populations have different distrubutions. However, if the shapes of the distributions are very similar, then the test does become a test for central tendency (and is a test for means if the distributions are symmetric). The Type I error rate with heterogeneous variances is affected less with the Kruskal- Wallis test than with the parametric analysis of variance if the groups with large variances have small sample sizes (Keselman, Rogan, and Feir-Walsh, 1977; Tomarkin and Serlin, 1986). Example 10.10 demonstrates the Kruskal- Wallis test procedure. As in other nonparametric tests, we do not use population parameters in statements of hypotheses, and neither parameters nor sample statistics are used in the test calculations.

N = 1 n, (the total number of observations in all k groups), and R, is the sum of the ranks of the n, observations in group i.* The procedure for ranking data is as presented in Section 8.11 for the Mann- Whitney test. A good check (but not a guarantee) of whether ranks have been assigned correctly is to see whether the sum of all the ranks equals N(N + 1)/2. Critical values of H for small sample sizes where k :s; 5 are given in Appendix Table B.13.

Example 10.13 demonstrates these calculations. The null hypothesis for testing the homogeneity of the variances of four populations may be written symbolically as He: O"T = O"~ = O"~ = (T~, or, in words, as "the four population variances are homogeneous (i.e., are equal)." The alternate hypothesis can be stated as "The four population variances are not homogeneous (i.e., they are not all equal)," or "There is difference (or heterogeneity) among the four population variances." If Hi, is rejected, the further testing of Section 11.8 will allow us to ask which population variances are different from which. Bartlett's test is powerful if the sampled populations are normal, but it is very badly affected by nonnormal populations (Box, 1953; Box and Anderson, 1955; Gartside, 1972). If the population distribution is platykurtic, the true Q' is less than the stated Q' (i.e., the test is conservative and the probability of a Type II error is increased); if it is leptokurtic, the true Q' is greater than the stated Q' (i.e., the probability of a Type I error is increased). When k = 2 and nl = 172, Bartlett's test is equivalent to the variance-ratio test of Section 8.5a. However, with two samples of unequal size, the two procedures may yield different results; one will be more powerful in some cases, and the other more powerful in others (Maurais and Ouimet, 1986). (b) Other Multisample Tests for Variances. Section 8.5b noted that there are other tests for heterogeneity (Levene's test and others) but that all are undesirable in many situations. The Bartlett test remains commendable when the sampled populations are normal, and no procedure is especially good when they are not. Because of the poor performance of tests for variance homogeneity and the robustness of analysis of variance for multisample testing among means (Section 10.1), it is not recommended that the former be performed as tests of the underlying assumptions of the latter. HOMOGENEITY OF COEFFICIENTS OF VARIATION

This test statistic approximates the chi-square distribution with k - 1 degrees of freedom (Appendix Table B.l) and its computation is shown in Example 10.14. When k = 2, the test yields results identical to the two-sample test using Equation 8.42 (and X2 = Z2). As with other tests, the power is greater with larger sample size; for a given sample size, the power is greater for smaller coefficients of variation and for greater differences among coefficients of variation. If the null hypothesis of equal population coefficients of variation is not rejected, then Vp is the best estimate of the coefficient of variation common to all k populations.

CODING DATA

In the parametric ANOV A, coding the data by addition or subtraction of a constan causes no change in any of the sums of squares or mean squares (recall Section 4.8) so the resultant F and the ensuing conclusions are not affected at all. If the coding i: performed by multiplying or dividing all the data by a constant, the sums of square: and the mean squares in the ANOV A each will be altered by an amount equal to the square of that constant, but the F value and the associated conclusions will remair unchanged. A test utilizing ranks (such as the Kruskal- Wallis procedure) will not be affectec at all by coding of the raw data. Thus, the coding of data for analysis of variance either parametric or nonparametric, may be employed with impunity, and cod. ing frequently renders data easier to manipulate. Neither will coding of data altei the conclusions from the hypothesis tests in Chapter 11 (multiple comparisons) OJ Chapters 12, 14, 15, or 16 (further analysis-of-variance procedures). Bartlett's tesi is also unaffected by coding. The testing of coefficients of variation is unaffectec by coding by multiplication or division, but coding by addition or subtractior may not be used. The effect of coding is indicated in Appendix C for man; statistics. 10.9

VARIANCES

The Model I single-factor analysis of variance (ANOY A) of Chapter 10 tests the null hypothesis Ho: f..L1 = f..L2 = ... = f..Lk. However, the rejection of Ho does not imply that all k population means are different from one another, and we don't know how many differences there are or where differences lie among the k means. For example, if k = 3 and Hi; f..L1 = V2 = f..L3 is rejected, we are not able to conclude whether there is evidence of f..L1 V2 = f..L3 or of f..L1 = V2 f..L3 or of f..L1 V2 f..L3· The introduction to Chapter 10 explained that it is invalid to employ multiple two-sample t tests to examine the difference among more than two means, for to do so would increase the probability of a Type I error (as shown in Table 10.1). This chapter presents statistical procedures that may be used to compare k means with each other; they are called multiple-comparison procedures" (MCPs). Except for the procedure known as the least significance difference test, all of the tests referred to in this chapter may be performed even without a preliminary analysis of variance. Indeed, power may be lost if a multiple-comparison test is performed only if the ANOY A concludes a significant difference among means (Hsu, 1996: 177-178; Myers and Well, 2003: 261). And all except the Scheffe test of Section 11.4 are for a set of comparisons to be specified before the collection of data. The most common principle for multiple-comparison testing is that the significance level. Q', is the probability of committing at least one Type I error when making all of the intended comparisons for a set of data. These are said to be a family of comparisons, and this error is referred to as [amilywise error (FWE) or, sometimes, experimentwise error. Much less common are tests designed to express comparison wise error, the probability of a Type I error in a single comparison. A great deal has been written about numerous multiple-comparison tests with various objectives, and the output of many statistical computer packages enhances misuse of them (Hsu, 1996: xi). Although there is not unanimity regarding what the "best" procedure is for a given situation, this chapter will present some frequently encountered highly regarded tests for a variety of purposes. If the desire is to test for differences between members of all possible pairs of means, then the procedures of Section 11.1 would be appropriate, using Section 11.1a

if sample sizes are unequal and Section 11.1b if variances are not the same. If the data are to be analyzed to compare the mean of one group (typically called the control) to each of the other group means, then Section 11.3 would be applicable. And if the researcher wishes to examine sample means after the data are collected and compare specific means, or groups of means, of interest, then the testing in Section 11.4 is called for. Just as with the parametric analysis of variance, the testing procedures of Sections 11.1-11.4 are premised upon there being a normal distribution of the population from which each of the k samples came; but, like the A OVA, these tests are somewhat robust to deviations from that assumption. However, if it is suspected that the underlying distributions are far from normal, then the analyses of Section 11.5. or data transformations (Chapter 13), should be considered. Multiple-comparison tests are adversely affected by heterogeneous variances among the sampled populations. in the same manner as in ANOVA (Section 10.1g) (Keselman and Toothaker, 1974; Petrinovich and Hardyck, 1969). though to a greater extent (Tukey, 1993). In multiple-comparison testing-except when comparing means to a controlequal sample sizes are desirable for maximum power and robustness, but the procedures presented can accommodate unequal n's. Petrinovich and Hardyck (1969) caution that the power of the tests is low when sample sizes are less than 10. This chapter discusses multiple comparisons for the single-factor ANOV A experimental design (Chapter 10).* Applications for other situations are found in Section 12.5 (for the two-factor ANOV A design), 12.7b (for the nonparametric randomizedblock ANOV A design), 12.9 (for dichotomous data in randomized blocks), 14.6 (for the multiway ANOYA design), 18.6 and 18.7 (for regression), and 19.8 (for correlation ). 11.1 TESTING ALL PAIRS OF MEANS There are k( k - 1)/2 different ways to obtain pairs of means from a total of k means." For example, if k = 3. the k(k - 1)/2 = 3(2)/2 = 3 pairs are ILl and IL2, ILl and IL3, and }L2 and IL3; and for k = 4. the k(k - 1)/2 = 4(3)/2 = 6 pairs are ILl and IL2, ILl and IL3, ILl and IL4, IL2 and IL3, IL2 and IL4, and IL3 and IL4· SO each of k( k - 1 )/2 null hypotheses may be tested, referring to them as Ho: ILB = ILA, where the subscripts A and B represent each pair of subscripts; each corresponding alternate hypothesis is Ho: IL8 -=FILA. An excellent way to address these hypotheses is with the Tukey test (Tukey, 1953). also known as the honestly significant difference test (HSD test) or wholly significant difference test (WSD test). Example 11.1 demonstrates the Tukey test, utilizing an ANOV A experimental design similar to that in Example 10.1, except that all groups have equal numbers of data (i.e., all of the ni's are equal). The first step in examining these multiple-comparison hypotheses is to arrange and number all five sample means in order of increasing magnitude. Then pairwise differences between the means, X A - X 8, are tabulated. Just as a difference between means, divided by *For nonpararnetric testing, Conover and Iman (1981) recommend applying methods as those in Sections 11.1-11.4 on the ranks of the data. However Hsu (1996: 177); Sawilowsky. Blair, and Higgins (1999): and Toothaker (1991: 1(9) caution against doing so. tThe number

The null hypothesis He; X B = X II is rejected if q is equal to or greater than the critical value, qo:.//.k, from Appendix Table B.5, where u is the error degrees of freedom (via Equation 10.15, which is N - k). The significance level, a, is the probability of committing at least one Type I error (i.e., the probability of incorrectly rejecting at least one Ho) during the course of comparing all pairs of means. And the Tukey test has good power and maintains the probability of the familywise Type I error at or below the stated a. The conclusions reached by this multiple-comparison testing may depend upon the order in which the pairs of means are compared. The proper procedure is to compare first the largest mean against the smallest. then the largest against the next smallest. and so on, until the largest has been compared with the second largest. Then one compares the second largest with the smallest, the second largest with the next smallest. and so on. Another important procedural rule is that if no significant difference is found *E. S. Pearson

1995).

Multiple Comparisons

between two means, then it is concluded that no significant difference exists between any means enclosed by those two, and no differences between enclosed means are tested for. Thus, in Example 11.1, because we conclude no difference between population means 3 and 2, no testing is performed to judge the difference between means 3 and 4, or between means 4 and 2. The conclusions in Example 11.1 are that Sample 1 came from a population having a mean different from that of any of the other four sampled populations; likewise, it is concluded that the population mean from which Sample 5 came is different from any of the other population means, and that samples 2, 4, and 3 came from populations having the same means. Therefore, the overall conclusion is that Ml of- fL2 = M4 = M3 of- MS, As a visual aid in Example 11.1, each time a null hypothesis was not rejected, a line was drawn beneath means to connect the two means tested and to encompass any means between them. The null hypothesis Ho: MB = MA may also be written as MB - MA = O. The hypothesis MB - MA = MO, where MO of- 0, may also be tested; this is done by replacing X B - X A with I X B - X A I - MO in the numerator of Equation 11.3. Occasionally, a multiple-comparison test, especially if ne of- nA, will yield ambiguous results in the form of conclusions of overlapping spans of nonsignificance. For example, one might arrive at the following:

XJ

X4

for an experimental design consisting of four groups of data. Here the four samples seem to have come from populations among which there were two different population means: Samples 1 and 2 appear to have been taken from one population, and Samples 2,3, and 4 from a different population. But this is clearly impossible, for Sample 2 has been concluded to have come from both populations. Because the statistical testing was not able to conclude decisively from which population Sample 2 came, at least one Type II error has been committed. Therefore, it can be stated that Ml of- M3 of- M4, but it cannot be concluded from which of the two populations Sample 2 came (or if it came from a third population). Repeating the data collection and analysis with a larger number of data might yield more conclusive results. (a) Multiple Comparisons with Unequal Sample Sizes. If the sizes of the k samples are not equal, the Tukey-Krarner procedure (Kramer, 1956; supported by Dunnett, 1980a; Stoline, 1981; Jaccard, Becker, and Wood, 1984)* is desirable to maintain the probability of a Type I error near a and to operate with good power. For each comparison involving unequal n's, the standard error for use in Equation 11.3 is calculated as SE =

which is inserting the harmonic mean of ne and I'lA (Section 3.4b) in place of n in Equation 11.2;t and Equation 11.4 is equivalent to 11.2 when ns = nA. This test is shown in Example 11.2, using the data of Example 10.1.

*This procedure has been shown to be excellent (e.g., Dunnett, 19ROa; Hayter. 1984; Keselman, Murray, and Rogan, 1976; Smith, 1971; Somerville. 1993: Stoline, 1981). with the probability of a familywise Type I error no greater than the stated a. tSome researchers have replaced n in Equation l1.2 with the harmonic mean of all k samples or with the median or arithmetic mean of the pair of means examined. Dunnett (1980a); Keselman, Murray, and Rogan (1976); Keselman and Rogan (1977); and Smith (1971) concluded the Kramer approach to be superior to those methods, and it is analogous to Equation R.7a. which is used for ..I.Ctwa:.!o~sa;umllLokLtestin!!:.

(b) Multiple Comparisons with Unequal Variances. Although the Tukey test can withstand some deviation from normality (e.g., Jaccard, Becker, and Wood, 1984), it is less resistant to heterogeneous variances. especially if the sample sizes are not equal. The test is conservative if small n's are associated with small variances and undesirably liberal if small samples come from populations with large variances, and in the presence of both nonnormality and heteroscedasticity the test is very liberal. Many investigations* have determined that the Tukey-Kramer test is also adversely affected by heterogeneous variances. "These include those of Dunnett (19S0b, 19S2): Games and Howell (1976): Jaccard, Becker, and Wood (1984): Keselrnan, Games, and Rogan (1979): Keselman and Rogan (197S): Keselman and Toothaker (1974): Keselman, Toothaker, and Shooter (1975): Ramseyer and Tcheng (1973): Jenkdon and Tamhane (1979).

Chapter 11


As a solution to this problem, Games and Howell (1976) proposed the use of the Welch approximation (Section 8.1b) to modify Equation 11.4 to be appropriate when the k population variances are not assumed to be the same or similar: SE

ne

s~),

(11.5)

nA

and q will be associated with the degrees of freedom of Equation 8.12; but each sample size should be at least 6. This test maintains the probability of a familywise Type I error around a (though it is sometimes slightly liberal) and it has good power (Games, Keselman, and Rogan, 1981; Keselman, Games, and Rogan, 1979; Keselman and Rogan, 1978; Tamhane, 1979). If the population variances are the same, then the Tukey or Tukey-Kramer test is preferable (Kirk, 1995: 147-148). If there is doubt about whether there is substantial heteroscedacity, it is safer to use the Games and Howell procedure, for if the underlying populations do not have similar variances, that test will be far superior to the Tukey-Kramer test; and if the population variances are similar, the former will have only a little less power than the latter (Levy, 1978c). (c) Other Multiple-Comparison Methods. Methods other than the Tukey and Tukey-Kramer tests have been employed by statisticians to examine pairwise differences for more than two means. The Newman-Keuls test (Newman, 1939; Keuls, 1952), also referred to as the Student-Newman-Keuls test, is employed as is the Tukey test, except that the critical values from Appendix Table B.5 are those for qa.v,p instead of qa.v.k, where p is the range of means for a given Hi; So, in Example 11.2, comparing means 3 and 4 would use p = 4, comparing means 3 and 1 would call for p = 3, and so on (with p ranging from 2 to k). This type of multiple-comparison test is called a multiple-range test. There is considerable opinion against using this procedure (e.g., by Einot and Gabriel, 1975; Ramsey, 1978) because it may falsely declare differences with a probability undesirably greater than a. The Duncan test (Duncan, 1955) is also known as the Duncan new multiple range test because it succeeds an earlier procedure (Duncan, 1951). It has a different theoretical basis, one that is not as widely accepted as that of Tukey's test, and it has been declared (e.g., by Carmer and Swanson, 1973; Day and Quinn, 1899) to perform poorly. This procedure is executed as is the Student-Newman-Keuls test, except that different critical-value tables are required. Among other tests, there is also a procedure called the least significant difference test (LSD), and there are other tests, such as with Dunn or Bonjerroni in their names (e.g., Howell, 2007: 356-363). The name wholly significant difference test (WSD test) is sometimes applied to the Tukey test (Section 11.1) and sometimes as a compromise between the Tukey and Student-Newman-Keuls procedures by employing a critical value midway between qa,v,k and qa,v,p' The Tukey test is preferred here because of its simplicity and generally good performance with regard to Type I and Type II errors. 11.2

CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR MULTIPLE COMPARISONS

Expressing a 1 - a confidence interval using a sample mean denotes that there is a probability of 1 - a that the interval encloses its respective population mean. Once multiple-comparison testing has concluded which of three or more sample

Section 11.2

Confidence Intervals for Multiple Comparisons

233

means are significantly different, confidence intervals may be calculated for each different population mean. If one sample mean (Xi) is concluded to be significantly different from all others, then Equation 10.31 (introduced in Section 10.2) is used: (10.31) In these calculations, s2 (essentially a pooled variance) is the same as the error mean square would be for an analysis of variance for these groups of data. If two or more sample means are not concluded to be significantly different, then a pooled mean of those samples is the best estimate of the mean of the population from which those samples came: (11.6) where the summation is over all samples concluded population. Then the confidence interval is

~ x;

/?

± ta(2).V\l2:

to have come from the same

(11.6a)

again summing over all samples whose means are concluded to be indistinguishable. This is analogous to the two-sample situation handled by Equation 8.16, and it is demonstrated in Example 11.3. If a pair of population means, /LB and /LA, are concluded to be different, the 1 - a confidence interval for the difference (/LB - /LA) may be computed as ( 11.7) Here, as in Section 11.1, 1J k is the total number of Equation 11.4, depending the underlying population demonstrated in Example

is the error degrees of freedom appropriate to an ANOVA, means, and SE is obtained from either Equation 11.2 or upon whether ne and nA are equal, or Equation 11.5 if variances are not assumed to be equal. This calculation is 11.3 for the data in Example 11.1.

(a) Sample Size and Estimation of the Difference between Two Population Means. Section 8.3 showed how to estimate the sample size required to obtain a confidence interval of specified width for a difference between the two population means associated with the two-sample t test. In a multisample situation, a similar procedure may be used with the difference between population means, employing q instead of the t statistic. As in Section 8.3, iteration is necessary, whereby n is determined such that n

=

s2(qa,v,k)2 d2

.

(11.8)

Here, d is the half-width of the 1 - a confidence interval, s2 is the estimate of error variance, and k is the total number of means; 1J is the error degrees of freedom with the estimated n, namely 1J = k( n - 1).

TESTING A CONTROL MEAN AGAINST EACH OTHER MEAN

Sometimes means are obtained from k groups with the a priori objective of concluding whether the mean of one group, commonly designated as a control, differs significantly from each of the means of the other k - 1 groups. Dunnett (1955) provided

Section 11.3

Testing a Control Mean Against Each Other Mean

235

an excellent procedure for such testing. Thus, whereas the data described in Section 11.1 were collected with the intent of comparing each sample mean with each other sample mean, the Dunnett test is for multisample data where the objective of the analysis was stated as comparing the control group's mean to the mean of each other group. Tukey's test could be used for this purpose. but it would be less powerful (Myers and Well, 2003: 255). If k = 2, Dunnett's test is equivalent to the two-sample {test (Section 8.1). As in the previous section, s2 denotes the error mean square, which is an estimate of the common population variance underlying each of the k samples. The Dunnett's test statistic (analogous to that of Equation 11.3) is q' =

For a two-tailed test, critical values, q~(2).v.k' are given in Appendix Table B.7. If Iq'l 2:::q~(2).v.k' then H«: fLcolltrol = fLA is rejected. Critical values for a one-sample test, q~( I )./,.k' are given in Appendix Table 8.6. In a one-tailed test, Hi; fLconlrol :::; fLA is rejected if q' 2::: q~(I).v.k: and Ho: fLcontrnl 2::: fLA is rejected if Iq'l 2:::q~(I).v.k and

< fLA (i.e., if q :::; -q~(I).lI.k)' This is demonstrated in Example 11.4. These critical values ensure that the familywise Type I error = 0'. The null hypothesis Ho: fLcontrol = fLA is a special case of Ho: fLcontrol - 0 = fL() where fLO = O. However, other values of fLU may be placed in the hypothesis, and Dunnett's test would proceed by placing I X control - X A - fLO I in the numerator of the q' calculation. In an analogous manner, H«: fLcontrol - fLO :::; fL (or H«: fLcontrol - fL() 2::: fL) may be tested. When comparison of group means to a control mean is the researcher's stated desire, the sample from the group designated as the control ought to contain more observations than the samples representing the other groups. Dunnett (1955) showed that the optimal size of the control sample typically should be a little less than ~ times the size of each other sample. Xcontrol

EXAMPLE11.4 Dunnett's Test for Comparing the Mean of a Control Group to the Mean of EachOther Group The yield (in metric tons per hectare) of each of several plots (24 plots, as explained below) of potatoes has been determined after a season's application of a standard fertilizer. Likewise, the potato yields from several plots (14 of them) were determined for each of four new fertilizers. A manufacturer wishes to promote at least one of these four fertilizers by claiming a resultant increase in crop yield. A total of 80 plots is available for use in this experiment. Optimum allocation of plots among the five fertilizer groups will be such that the control group (let us say that it is group 2) has a little less than = J4 = 2 times as many data as each of the other groups. Therefore, it was decided to use n : = 24 and nl = n3 = n4 = m-, = 14, for a total N of 80. Using analysis-of-variance calculations, the error MS (s2) was found to be 10.42 (metric tons/ha)? and the error OF = 75.

MULTIPLE CONTRASTS Inspecting the sample means after performing an analysis of variance can lead to a desire to compare combinations of samples to each other, by what are called multiple contrasts. The method of Scheffe" (1953; 1959: Sections 3.4, 3.5) is an excellent way to do this while ensuring a familywise Type I error rate no greater than 0'. The data in Example 11.1 resulted in ANOV A rejection of the null hypothesis He: ILl = ILZ = IL3 = IL4 = ILS; and, upon examining the five sample means, perhaps by arranging them in order of magnitude (X1 < Xz < X4 < X3 < Xs), the researcher might then want to compare the mean strontium concentration in the river (group 5) with that of the bodies of water represented by groups 2, 4, and 3. The relevant null hypothesis would be He: (ILZ + IL4 + IL3 )/3 = ILs, which can also be expressed as He: ILz/3 + IL4/3 + IL3/3 ~ ILS = O. The Scheffe test considers that each of the four IL'S under consideration is associated with a coefficient, c.: Cz = l, C4 = l, q = l, and Cs = ~ 1 (and the sum of these coefficients is always 3 3' 3 . zero). The test statistic, S, is calculated as

(11.16)

S= where

(11.17) and the critical value of the test is Sa =

)(k ~

1 )Fa(I),k-I,N-k

.

(11.18)

Also, with these five groups of data, there might be an interest in testing H«: ~ (ILZ + IL4 + IL3 )/3 = 0 or Ho: (ILl + ILS )/2 ~ (ILZ + IL4 + IL3 )/3 = 0 or Ho: (ILl + IL4 )/2 ~ (ILZ + IL3 )/2 = 0, or other contrasts. Any number of such hypotheses may be tested, and the familywise Type I error rate is the probability of falsely rejecting at least one of the possible hypotheses. A significant F from an ANOV A of the k groups indicates that there is at least one significant contrast among the groups, although the contrasts that are chosen may not include one to be rejected by the Scheffe test. And if F is not significant, testing multiple contrasts need not be done, for the probability of a Type I error in that testing is not necessarily at 0' (Hays, 1994: 458). The testing of several of these hypotheses is shown in Example 11.5. In employing the Scheffe test, the decision of which means to compare with which others occurs after inspecting the data, so this is referred to as an a posteriori, or post hoc test. ILl

The Scheffe test may also be used to compare one mean with one other. It is then testing the same hypotheses as is the Tukey test. It is less sensitive than the Tukey test to non normality and heterogeneity of variances (Hays. 1994: 458,458: Sahai and Agecl, 2000: 77): but is less powerful and it is recommended that it not be used for pairwise comparisons (e.g., Carmer and Swanson, 1973: Kirk, 1995: 154: Toothaker, 1991: 51,77,89-90). Shaffer (1977) described a procedure, more powerful than Scheffe's, specifically for comparing a combination of groups to a group specified as a control. (a) Multiple Contrasts with Unequal Variances. The Scheffc test is suitable when the samples in the contrast each came from populations with the same variance.

Section 11.5

Nonparametric


239

When the population variances differ but the sample sizes are equal, the probability of a Type T error can be different from 0.05 when a is set at 0.05. If the variances and the sample sizes are unequal, then (as with the ANOV A, Section 10.1 g) the test will be very conservative if the large variances are associated with large sample sizes and very liberal if the small samples come from the populations with the large variances (Keselman and Toothaker, 1(74). If the (J"~'s cannot be assumed to be the same or similar, the procedure of Brown and Forsythe (I974b) may be employed. This is done in a fashion analogous to the two-sample Welch modification of the t test (Section S.lc), using (11.19)

Example 11.6 demonstrates the determination of confidence intervals for two of the statistically significant contrasts of Example 11.5. 11.5 NONPARAMETRIC MULTIPLE COMPARISONS In the multisample situation where the nonpararnetric Kruskal-Wallis test (Section 10.4) is appropriate, the researcher usually will desire to conclude which of the samples are significantly different from which others, and the experiment will be run with that goal. This may be done in a fashion paralleling the Tukey test of Section 11.1, by using rank sums instead of means, as demonstrated in Example 11.7. The rank sums, determined as in the Kruskal-Wallis test, are arranged in increasing order of magnitude. Pairwise differences between rank sums are then tabulated, starting with the difference between the largest and smallest rank sums, and proceeding in the same sequence as described in Section 11.1. The standard error is calculated as SE

(a) Nonparametric Multiple Comparisons with Unequal Sample Sizes. Multiplecomparison testing such as in Example 11.7 requires that there be equal numbers of data in each of the k groups.

Reject He: Fly abundance is the same at vegetation heights 3 and 1. Reject Ho: Fly abundance is the same at vegetation heights 2 and 1. Do not reject H«: Fly abundance is the same at vegetation heights 3 and 2.

Overall conclusion: Fly abundance is the same at vegetation heights 3 and 2 but is different at height 1. where R indicates a mean rank (i.e., RA = RAI nil and RB = RBI nu). Critical values for this test, Qa,k, are given in Appendix Table B.15. Applying this procedure to the situation of Example 11.7 yields the same conclusions, but this will not always be the case as this is only an approximate method and conclusions based upon a test statistic very near the critical value should be expressed with reservation. It is advisable to conduct studies that have equal sample sizes so Equation 11.22 or 11.23 may be employed. If tied ranks are present, then the following is an improvement over Equation 11.24 (Dunn, 1964):

In the latter equation, L t is used in the Kruskal-Wallis test when ties are present and is defined in Equation 10.42. The testing procedure is demonstrated in Example 11.8; note that it is the mean ranks (Ri), rather than the ranks sums (Ri), that are arranged in order of magnitude. A procedure developed independently by Steel (1960, 1961b) and Dwass (1960) is somewhat more advantageous than the tests of Nemenyi and Dunn (Critchlow and Fligner, 1991; Miller, 1981: 168-169), but it is less convenient to use and it tends to be very conservative and less powerful (Gabriel and Lachenbruch, 1969).

this test can lose control of Type J error if the data come from skewed populations (Toothaker, 1991: 108). (b) Nonparametric Comparisons of a Control to Other Groups. Subsequent to a Kruskal-Wallis test in which Ho is rejected, a non parametric analysis may be performed to seek either one-tailed or two-tailed significant differences between one group (designated as the "control") and each of the other groups of data. This is done in a manner paralleling that of the procedure of Section 11.4, but using group rank sums instead of group means. The standard error to be calculated is (11.27) (Wilcoxon and Wilcox, 1964: 11), and one uses as critical values either q~( 1).oo.k or q~(2).oo.k (from Appendix Table B.6 or Appendix Table B.7, respectively) for one-tailed or two-tailed hypotheses, respectively.* The preceding nonparametric test requires equal sample sizes. If the n's are not all equal, then the procedure suggested by Dunn (1964) may be employed. By this method, group B is considered to be the control and uses Equation 11.27, where the appropriate standard error is that of Equation 11.26 or 11.28, depending on whether there are ties or no ties, respectively. We shall refer to critical values for this test, which may be two tailed or one tailed, as Q~.k; and they are given in Appendix Table B.16. The test presented by Steel (1959) has drawbacks compared to the procedures above (Miller, 1981: 133). 1.6 NONPARAMETRIC

Section 10.1 introduced methods for one-way analysis of variance, which is the analysis of the effects of a factor (such as the type of feed) on a variable (such as the body weight of pigs). The present chapter will discuss how the effects of two factors can he assessed using a single statistical procedure. The simultaneous analysis to he considered, of the effect of more than one factor on population means, is termed a factorial analysis of variance," and there can he important advantages to such an experimental design. Among them is the fact that a single set of data can suffice for the analysis and it is not necessary to perform a one-way ANOV A for each factor. This may he economical with respect to time, effort, and money: and factorial analysis of variance also can test for the interactive effect of factors. The two-factor analysis of variance is introduced in this chapter. Examination of the effects of more than two factors will he discussed in Chapter 14. There have been attempts to devise dependable nonparamctric statistical tests for experimental designs with two or more factors. For a one-factor ANOV A. the Marin-Whitney test or an ANOV A on the ranks of the data may he employed for nonparamctric testing (Section 10.4). But, except for the situation in Section 12.7. nonpararnctric procedures with more than one factor have not been generally acceptable. For multi factor analyses (this chapter. Chapter 14. and Chapter 15). it has been proposed that a parametric ANOV A may he performed on the ranks of the data (and this rank transformation is employed by some computer packages) or that the Kruskal- Wallis test of Section 10.4 may he expanded. However, Akritas (I L)L)O): Blair, Sawilowsky. and Higgins (I L)~7): Brunner and Neumann (19~6): McKean and Vidmar (I L)L)4): Sawilowsky, Blair. and Higgins (l L)~L)): Seaman ct al.

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE WITH EQUAL REPLICATION Example 12.1 presents data from an experiment suited to a two-way analysis of variance. The two factors are fixed (as defined in Section 10.1f and discussed further in Section 12.1d). The variable under consideration is blood calcium concentration in birds, and the two factors being simultaneously tested arc hormone treatment and sex. Because there are two levels in the first factor (hormone-treated and non treated) and two levels in the second factor (female and male). this experimental design" is termed a 2 x 2 (or 22) factorial. The two factors arc said to be "crossed" because each level of one factor is found in combination with each level of the second factor." There are 11 = 5 replicate observations (i.e., calcium determinations on each of five birds) for each of the 2 X 2 = 4 combinations of the two factors: therefore, there are a total of N = 2 x 2 x 5 = 20 data in this experiment. In general. it is advantageous to have equal replication (what is sometimes called a "balanced" or "orthogonal" experimental design). but Section 12.2 will consider cases with unequal numbers of data per cell. and Section 12.3 will discuss analyses with only one datum per combination of factors. For the general case of the two-way factorial analysis of variance. we can refer to one factor as A and to the other as B. Furthermore. let us have a represent the number of levels in factor A, b the number of levels in factor 8, and 11 the number of replicates. A triple subscript on the variable. as Xijl, will enable us to identify uniquely the value that is replicate I of the combination of level i of factor A and leveljoUactorB.ln Example 12.I,X213 = 32.3mgj100m1.X115 = 9.5mgj100ml, and so on. Each combination of a level of factor A with a level of factor B is called a cell. The cells may be visualized as the "groups" in a one-factor A OVA (Section 10.1). There are four cells in Example 12.1: females without hormone treatment. males without hormone treatment, females with hormone treatment. and males with hormone treatment. And there are 11 replicate data in each cell. For the cell formed by the combination of level i of factor A and level j of factor B. Xij denotes the cell mean; for the data in Example 12.1, the mean of a cell is the cell total divided by 5, so X" = 14.8R X 12 = 12.12. X 21 = 32.52. and X22 = 27.78 (with the units for each mean being mg/lOO ml). The mean of all bn data in level i of factor A is Xi, and the mean of all an data in level j of factor B is Xj. That is, the mean for the 10 non-hormone-treated birds is XI, which is an estimate of the population mean, ILl ; the mean for the hormonetreated birds is X2. which estimates IL2'; the mean of the female birds is XI: which estimates ILl: and the mean of the male birds is X2, which estimates IL2. There are a total of abn = 20 data in the experiment, and (just as in the single-factor ANOV A of Section 10.1) the mean of all N data (the "grand mean")

For the one-factor ANOYA it was shown (Section 1O.1a) how alternative formulas, referred to as "machine formulas," make the sum-of-squares calculations easier because they do not require computing deviations from means, squaring those deviations, and summing the squared deviations. There are also machine formulas for two-factor analyses of variance that avoid the need to calculate grand, cell, and factor means and the several squared deviations associated with them. Familiarity with these formulas is not necessary if the ANOV A calculations are done by an established computer program, but they can be very useful if a calculator is used. These are shown in Section 12.1b. Table 12.1 summarizes the sums of squares, degrees of freedom, and mean squares for the two-factor analysis of variance. (b) Machine Formulas. Just as with one-factor analysis of variance (Section 10.1), there are so-called machine formulas for two-factor ANOV A that allow the computation of sums of squares without first calculating overall, cell, within-cell, and factor means. These calculations are shown in Example 12.2a, and they yield the same sums of squares as shown in Example 12.1a.

Simply put, the factor A SS is calculated by considering factor A to be the sale factor in a single-factor analysis of variance of the data. That is, we obtain the sum for each level of factor A (ignoring the fact that the data are also categorized into levels of factor B); the sum of a level is what is in parentheses in Equation 12.20. Then we square each of these level sums and divide the sum of these squares by the number of data per level (i.e., bn). On subtracting the "correction term," C, we arrive at

Section 12.1


259

the factor A SS. If the data were in fact analyzed by a single-factor ANOV A, then the groups SS would indeed be the same as the factor A SS just described, and the groups DF would be what the two-factor ANOV A considers as factor A DF; but the error SS in the one-way ANOV A would be what the two-factor ANOY A considers as the within-cells SS plus the factor B SS and the interaction sum of squares, and the error DF would be the sum of the within-cells, factor B, and interaction degrees of freedom. For factor B computations, we simply ignore the division of the data into levels of factor A and proceed as if factor B were the single factor in a one-way ANOV A:

factor B as B, and B2. The variable, X, is situated on the vertical axis of the figure and on the horizontal axis we indicate A, and A2. The two cell means for B, (14.9 and 32.5 mg/lOO ml, which are indicated by black circles) are plotted and connected by a line; and the two cell means for B2 (12.1 and 27.8 mg/100 ml, which are indicated by black squares) are plotted and connected by a second line. The mean of all the data in each level of factor A is indicated with a plus sign, and the mean of all the data in each level of factor B is denoted by an open circle. Then the effect of factor A is observed as the vertical distance between the plus signs; the effect of factor B is expressed as the vertical distance between the open circles; and nonparallelism of the lines indicates interaction between factors A and B. Thus, the ANOV A results of Example 12.1 are readily seen in this plot: there is a large effect of factor A (which is found to be significant by the F statistic) and a small effect of factor B (which is found to be nonsignificant). There is a small interaction effect, indicated in the figure by the two lines departing a little from being parallel (and this effect is also concluded to be nonsignificant). Various possible patterns of such plots are shown in Figure 12.2. Such figures may be drawn for situations with more than two levels within factors. And one may place either factor A or factor B on the horizontal axis; usually the factor with the larger number of levels is placed on this axis, so there are fewer lines to examine.

(d) Model I ANOVA. Recall, from Section 10.H, the distinction between fixed and random factors. Example 12.1 is an ANOYA where the levels of both factors are fixed; we did not simply pick these levels at random. A factorial analysis of variance in which all (in this case both) factors are fixed effects is termed a Modell ANOVA. In such a model, the null hypothesis of no difference among the levels of a factor is tested using F = factor MS/error MS. In Example 12.2, the appropriate F tests conclude that there is a highly significant effect of the hormone treatment on the mean plasma calcium content, and that there is not a significantly different mean plasma calcium concentration between males and females. In addition, we can test for significant interaction in a Model I ANOY A by F = interaction MS/error MS and find, in our present example, that there is no significant interaction between the sex of the bird and whether it had the hormone treatment. This is interpreted to mean that the effect of the hormone treatment on calcium is not different in males and females (i.e., the effect of the hormone is not dependent on the sex of the bird). This concept of interaction (or its converse, independence) is analogous to that employed in the analysis of contingency tables (see Chapter 23). If, in a two-factor analysis of variance, the effects of one or both factors are significant, the interaction effect mayor may not be significant. Tn fact, it is possible to encounter situations where there is a significant interaction even though each of the individual factor effects is judged to be insignificant. A significant interaction implies that the difference among levels of one factor is not constant at all levels of the second factor. Thus, it is generally not useful to speak of a factor effect-even if its F is significant-if there is a significant interaction effect.

(e) Model II ANOVA. If a factorial design is composed only of factors with random levels, then we are said to be employing a Model I! ANOVA (a relatively uncommon situation). In such a case, where two factors are involved, the appropriate hypothesis testing for significant factor effects is accomplished by calculating F = factor MS/interaction MS (see Table 12.3). We test for the interaction effect, as before, by F = interaction MS/error MS, and it is generally not useful to declare factor effects significant if there is a significant interaction effect. The Model II ANOV A for designs with more than two factors will be discussed in Chapter 14. (f) Model III ANOV A. If a factorial design has both fixed-effect and random-effect factors, then it is said to be a mixed-model." or a Model II! ANOVA. The appropriate F statistics are calculated as shown in Table 12.3. Special cases of this will be discussed in Section 12.4. This book observes Voss's (1999) "resolution" of a controversy over the appropriate F for testing a factor effect in mixed models.

(g) Underlying Assumptions. The assumptions underlying the appropriate application of the two-factor analysis of variance are basically those for the single-factor ANOV A (Section 1O.lg): The data in each cell came at random from a normally distributed population of measurements and the variance is the same in all of the populations represented by the cells. This population variance is estimated by the within-cells mean square (i.e., the error mean square). Although these hypothesis tests are robust enough that minor deviations from these assumptions will not appreciably affect them, the probabilities associated with the calculated F values lose dependability as the sampled populations deviate from normality and homoscedasticity, especially if the populations have skewed distributions. If there is doubt about whether the data satisfy these assumptions, then conclusions regarding the rejection of a null hypothesis should not be made if the associated P is near the a specified for the test. Few alternatives to the ANOV A exist when the underlying assumptions are seriously violated. In a procedure analogous to that described in Section lO.lg for single-factor analysis of variance with heterogeneous group variances, Brown and Forsythe (1974b) present a two-factor ANOV A procedure applicable when the cell variances are not assumed to have come from populations with similar variances. In some cases an appropriate data transformation (Chapter 13) can convert a set of data so the extent of nonnormality and heteroscedasticity is small. As indicated at the end *The term mixed model was introduced by A. M. Mood in 1950 (David, 1995).

Section 12.1


263

of the introduction to this chapter, there appears to be no nonparametric procedures to be strongly recommended for factorial ANOV A, with the exception of that of Section 12.7. (h) Pooling Mean Squares. If it is not concluded that there is a significant interaction effect, then the interaction MS and the within-cells (i.e., the error) MS are theoretically estimates of the same population variance. Because of this, some authors suggest the pooling of the interaction and within-cells sums of squares and degrees of freedom in such cases. From these pooled SS and DF values, one can obtain a pooled mean square, which then should be a better estimate of the population random error (i.e., within-cell variability) than either the error MS or the interaction MS alone; and the pooled MS will always be a quantity between the interaction MS and the error MS. The conservative researcher who does not engage in such pooling can be assured that the probability of a Type I error is at the stated a level. But the probability of a Type II error may be greater than is acceptable to some. The chance of the latter type of error is reduced by the pooling described, but confidence in stating the probability of committing a Type I error may be reduced (Brownlee, 1965: 509). Rules of thumb for deciding when to pool have been proposed (e.g., Paull, 1950; Bozivich, Bancroft, and Hartley, 1956), but statistical advice beyond this book should be obtained if such pooling is contemplated. The analyses in this text will proceed according to the conservative nonpooling approach, which Hines (1996), Mead, Bancroft, and Han (1995), and Myers and Well (2003: 333) conclude is generally advisable. (i) Multiple Comparisons. If significant differences are concluded among the levels of a factor, then the multiple comparison procedures of Section 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, or 11.4 may be employed. For such purposes, s2 is the within-cells MS, u is the within-cells DF, and the n of Chapter 11 is replaced in the present situation with the total number of data per level of the factor being tested (i.e., what we have noted in this section as bn data per level of factor A and an data per level of factor B). If there is significant interaction between the two factors, then the means of levels should not be compared. Instead, multiple comparison testing may be performed among cell means.

G) Confidence Limits for Means. We may compute confidence intervals for population means of levels of a fixed factor by the methods in Section 10.2. The error mean square, s2, is the within-cells MS of the present discussion; the error degrees of freedom, u, is the within-cells DF; and n in Section 10.2 is replaced in the present context by the total number of data in the level being examined. Confidence intervals for differences between population means are obtained by the procedures of Section 11.2. This is demonstrated in Example 12.3. EXAMPLE 12.3

The appropriate hypothesis tests are the same as those in Section 12.1. The sums of squares, degrees of freedom, and mean squares may be calculated by some factorial ANOY A computer programs.

(b) Disproportional Replication; Missing Data. In factorial analysis of variance, it is generally advisable to have data with equal replication in the cells (Section 12.1), or at least to have proportional replication (Section 12.2a). If equality or proportionality is not the case, we may employ computer software capable of performing such analyses of variance with disproportional replication (see Section 14.5). Alternatively, if only a very few cells have numbers of data in excess of those representing equal or proportional replications, then data may be deleted, at random, within such cells, so that equality or proportionality is achieved. Then the ANOY A can proceed as usual, as described in Section 12.1 or 12.2a. If one cell is one datum short of the number required for equal or proportional replication, a value may be estimated" for inclusion in place of the missing datum, as follows (Shearer, 1973): a

"The number of replicates in each of the cells need not be checked against Equation 12.22 to determine whether proportional replication is present. One need check only one cell in each of a-I levels of factor A and one in each of b - 1 levels of factor B (Huck and Layne. 1974). tThe estimation of missing values is often referred to as imputation and is performed by some computer routines. However, there are many different methods for imputing missing values, especially when more than one datum is missing, and these methods do not all yield the same results.

Section 12.3

Two-Factor Analysis of Variance without Replication

where Xij! is the estimated value for replicate I in level i of factor A and level j of factor B; Ai is the sum of the other data in level i of factor A; B, is the sum of the other data in level j of factor B; L L L Xijl is the sum of all the known data, and N is the total number of data (including the missing datum) in the experimental design. For example. if datum XI24 had been missing in Example 12.1. it could have had a quantity inserted in its place, estimated by Equation 12.27. where a = 2. b = 2. N = 20, Ai = A I = the sum of all known data from animals receiving no hormone treatment; B, = B2 = the sum of all known data from males; and L L L Xijl = the sum of all 19 known data from both hormone treatments and both sexes. After the missing datum has been estimated, it is inserted into the data set and the ANOV A computations may proceed, with the provision that a missing datum is not counted in determining total and within-cells degrees of freedom. (Therefore. if a datum were missing in Example 12.1. the total OF would have been 18 and the within-cells OF would have been 15.) If more than one datum is missing (but neither more than 10% of the total number of data nor more data than the number of levels of any factor), then Equation 12.27 could be used iteratively to derive estimates of the missing data (e.g., using cell means as initial estimates). The number of such estimates would not enter into the total or within-cells degrees-of-freedom determinations. If only a few cells (say, no more than the number of levels in either factor) are each one datum short of the numbers required for equal or proportional replication, then the mean of the data in each such cell may be inserted as an additional datum in that cell. In the latter situation, the analysis proceeds as usual but with the total OF and the within-cells OF each being determined without counting such additional inserted data. Instead of employing these cell means themselves. however, they could be used as starting values for employing Equation 12.27 in iterative fashion. Another procedure for dealing with unequal. and nonproportional, replication is by so-called unweighted means analysis, which employs the harmonic mean of the nil'S. This will not be discussed here. None of these procedures is as desirable as when the data are equally or proportionally distributed among the cells. TWO-FACTOR ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE WITHOUT

REPLICATION

It is generally advisable that a two-factor experimental design have more than one datum in each cell, but situations are encountered in which there is only one datum for each combination of factors (i.e., n = 1 for all cells). It is sometimes feasible to collect additional data, to allow the use of the procedures of Section 12.1 or 12.2, but it is also possible to perform a two-factorial ANOV A with nonreplicated data. In a situation of no replication, each datum may be denoted by a double subscript, as Xij. where i denotes a level of factor A and j indicates a level of factor B. For a levels of factor A and b levels of factor B. the appropriate computations of sums of squares, degrees of freedom, and mean squares are shown directly below. These are analogous to equations in Section 12.1, modified by eliminating n and any summation within cells. II

Consequently, the within-cells sum of squares and degrees of freedom are both zero; that is, with only one datum per cell, there is no variability within cells. The variability among the N data that is not accounted for by the effects of the two factors is the remainder' variability: remainder SS remainder DF

total SS - factor A SS - factor B SS total DF - factor A DF - factor B DF

These sums of squares and degrees of freedom, and the relevant mean squares, are summarized in Table 12.4. Note that Equations 12.32 and 12.33 are what are referred to as "interaction" quantities when replication is present; with no replicates it is not possible to assess interaction in the population that was sampled.

(b) Multiple Comparisons and Confidence Limits. Tn a two-factor ANOY A with no replication, the multiple-comparison and confidence-limit considerations of Sections 12.1i and 12.1j may be applied. However, there is no within-cells (error) mean square or degrees of freedom in the absence of replication. If it can be assumed that there is no interaction between the two factors, then the remainder MS may be employed where s2 is specified in those sections, the remainder DF is used in place of u, a ~ the same as an, and b is the same as bn. If, however, there may be interaction, then multiple comparisons and confidence limits should be avoided. 12.4

ANALYSIS

OF VARIANCE

WITH

RANDOMIZED

BLOCKS OR REPEATED

The analysis of variance procedure of Section 10.1 (the completely randomized design) is for situations where the data are all independent of each other and the experimental units (e.g.,the pigs in Example 10.1) are assigned to the k treatments in a random fashion (that is, random except for striving for equal numbers in each treatment). The following discussion is of two types of ANOY A, for the same null and alternate hypotheses as in Section 10.1, in which each datum in one of the k groups is related to one datum in each of the other groups. (a) Randomized Blocks. To address the hypotheses of Example 10.1, each of fo animals from the same litter could be assigned to be raised on each of four diets. Th body weights of each set of four animals (i.e., the data for each litter) would be sai to constitute a block, for the data in a litter are related to each other (namely b having the same mother). With a experimental groups (denoted as k in ChapterlO and b blocks, there would be N = ab data in the analysis. The concept of block is an extension, for more than two groups, the concept of pairs (Section 9.1, whic deals with two groups). This experimental plan is called a randomized-complete-bloc design, and each block contains a measurement for each of the a treatments. Onl complete blocks will be considered here, so this will simply be called a randomized block design," When the analysis employs blocks of data within which the data ar related, the hypothesis testing of differences among groups can be more powe than in the completely randomized design. An illustration of a randomized-block ANOY A is in Example 12.4. The inten of the experiment shown is to determine whether there is a difference among thr anesthetic drugs in the time it takes for the anesthetic to take effect when injecte intramuscularly into cats of a specified breed. Three cats are obtained from each 0 five laboratories; because the laboratories may differ in factors such as the food an exercise the animals have had, the three from each laboratory are considered to b a block. Thus, the experiment has a = 3 treatment groups and b = 5 blocks, an the variable in anesthetic group i and block j is indicated as Xij. The sum of the dat in group i can be denoted as LJ=1 Xij, the total of the measurements in block j

Ljl= I Xij,

and the sum of all ab data as N = Lj'= I LJ= I Xij. In this example, there' only one datum in each of the ab cells (i.e., one per combination of treatment an block), a very common situation when working with randomized blocks. In Example 12.4, the interest is whether there is any difference among the effects the different anesthetic drugs, not whether there is any difference due to laborato source of the animals. (Indeed, the factor defining the blocks is sometimes referred t "The randomized-block (1926; David, 1995).

Each block consists of three cats from a single source, and each block is from a different source. Within a block, the cats are assigned one of the anesthetics at random, by numbering the cats 1,2, and 3 and assigning each of them treatment 1, 2, or 3 at random. For this experiment the randomly designated treatments, from 1 to 3, for each block were as follows, with the anesthetic's time for effect (in minutes) given in parentheses: Animal 2

0.005 < P < O.Ol [P = 0.0060] as a "nuisance factor" or "nuisance variable.") The anesthetics, therefore, are three levels of a fixed-effects factor, and the laboratories are five levels of a random-effects factor. So the completely randomized experimental design calls for a mixed-model (i.e., Model Ill) analysis of variance (Section 12.1f). Blocking by laboratory is done to account for more of the total variability among all N data than would be accounted for by considering the fixed-factor effects alone. This will decrease the mean square in the denominator of the F that assesses the difference among the treatments, with the intent of making the ANOV A more powerful than if the data were not collected in blocks. The assignment of an experimental unit to each of the animals in a block should be done at random. For this purpose, Appendix Table B.41 or other source of random numbers may be consulted. In the present example, the experimenter could arbitrarily assign numbers 1, 2, and 3 to each cat from each laboratory. The random-number table should then be entered at a random place, and for each block a random sequence of the numerals 1, 2, and 3 (ignoring all other numbers and any repetition of a l, 2, or 3) will indicate which treatments should be applied to the animals numbered 1,2, and 3 in that block. So, in Example 12.4, a sequence of animals numbered 3, 1,2 was obtained for the first block; 1,3,2 for the second; 3, 2, 1 for the third; and so on. The randomized-block experimental design has found much use in agricultural research, where b plots of ground are designated as blocks and where the environmental (for example, soil and water) conditions are very similar within each block (though not necessarily among blocks). Then a experimental treatments (e.g., fertilizer of pesticide treatment) are applied to random portions of each of the b blocks. (b) Randomized Blocks with Replication. It is common for the randomizedcomplete-block experimental design to contain only one datum per cell. That is what is demonstrated in Example 12.4, with the calculation of F executed as shown in the last column of Tables 12.5a and 12.5b. If there are multiple data per cell (what is known as the generalized randomized-block design), this would be handled

Section 12.4

273

as a mixed-model two-factor ANOV A with replication. Doing so would obtain the mean squares and degrees of freedom as indicated earlier in this chapter; and the appropriate F's would be those indicated in the last column of Table 12.3. A case where this would be applicable is where the experiment of Example 12.4 employed a total of six cats-instead of three-from each laboratory, assigning two of the six at random to each of the three treatments. (c) Repeated Measures. The hypotheses of Example 12.4 could also be tested using an experimental design differing from, but related to, that of randomized blocks. In an experimental procedure using what are called repeated measures, each of b experimental animals would be tested with one of the a anesthetic drugs; then, after the effects of the drug had worn off, one of the other anesthetics would be applied to the same animal; and after the effects of that drug were gone, the third drug would be administered to that animal. Thus, b experimental animals would be needed, far fewer than the ab animals required in the randomized-block experiment of Example 12.4, for each block of data contains a successive measurements from the same experimental animal (often referred to as an experimental "subject"). If possible, the application of the a treatments to each of the b subjects should be done in a random sequence, comparable to the randomization within blocks in Section 12.4a. Also, when collecting data for a repeated-measures analysis of variance, sufficient time should be allowed between successive treatments so the effect of a treatment is not contaminated with the effect of the previous treatment (i.e., so there is no "carryover effect" from treatment to treatment).* Thus, the arrangement of data from a repeated-measures experiment for the hypotheses of Example 12.4 would look exactly like that in that example, except that each of the five blocks of data would be measurements from a single animal, instead of from a animals, from a specified laboratory. There are some repeated-measures studies where the treatments are not administered in a random sequence to each subject. For example, we might wish to test the effect of a drug on the blood sugar of horses at different times (perhaps at 1, 2, and 5 hours) after the drug's administration. Each of b horses ("subjects") could be given the drug and its blood sugar measured before administering the drug and subsequently at each of the three specified times (so a would be 4). In such a situation, the levels of factor A (the four times) are fixed and are the same for all blocks, and carryover effects are a desired part of the study.' The repeated-measures experimental design is commonly used by psychological researchers, where the behavioral response of each of several subjects is recorded for each of several experimental circumstances. (d) Randomized-Block and Repeated-Measures Assumptions. In a randomizedblock or repeated-measures experiment, we assume that there are correlations among the measurements within a block or among measurements repeated on a subject. For the randomized-block data in Example 12.4, it may be reasonable to suppose that if an animal is quickly affected by one anesthetic, it will be quickly affected by each * Although the experiment should be conducted to avoid carryover effects, the times of administering the drug (first, second, or third) could be considered the levels of a third factor, and a three-factor ANOV A could be performed in what is referred to as a "crossover experimental design" (described in Section 14.1a). '[Kirk (1995: 255) calls randomized levels of factor A within blocks a "subjects-by-treatment" experimental design and uses the term subjects-bv-trials to describe a design where the sequence of application of the levels of factor A to is the same in each block.

of the others. And for the repeated-measures situation described in Section 12.4c, it might well be assumed that the effect of a drug at a given time will be related to the effect at a previous time. However, for the probability of a calculated F to be compared dependably to tabled values of F, there should be equal correlations among all pairs of groups of data. So, for the experiment in Example 12.4, the correlation between the data in groups 1 and 2 is assumed to be the same as the correlation between the data in groups 1 and 3, and the same as that between data in groups 2 and 3. This characteristic, referred to as compound symmetry, is related to what statisticians call sphericity (e.g., Huynh and Feldt, 1970), or circularity (e.g., Rouanet and Lepine, 1970), and it-along with the usual ANOV A assumptions (Section l2.1g)-is an underlying assumption of randomized-block and repeated-measures analyses of variance. Violation of this assumption is, unfortunately, common but difficult to test for, and the investigator should be aware that the Type J error in such tests may be greater than the specified a. An alternative procedure for analyzing data from repeated-measures experiments, one that does not depend upon the sphericity assumption, is multivariate analysis of variance (see Chapter 16), which has gained in popularity with the increased availability of computer packages to handle the relatively complex computations. This assumption and this alternative are discussed in major works on analysis of variance and multivariate analysis (e.g., Girden, 1992; Kirk, 1995; Maxwell and Delaney, 2004; O'Brien and Kaiser, 1985; and Stevens, 2002). If there are missing data, the considerations of Section 12.2b apply. If the experimental design has only one datum for each combination of the factors, and one of the data is missing, then the estimation of Equation 12.26 becomes {/

If more than one datum is missing in a block, the entire block can be deleted from the analysis. (e) More Than One Fixed-Effects Factor. There are many possible experimental designs when the effects of more than one factor are being assessed. One other situation would be where the experiment of Example 12.4 employed blocks as a random-effects factor along with two fixed-effects factors, perhaps the drug and the animal's sex. The needed computations of sums of squares, degrees of freedom, and mean squares would likely be performed by computer, and Appendix D (Section D.3b for this hypothetical example) would assist in testing the several hypotheses. 12.5

MULTIPLE COMPARISONS OF VARIANCE

AND CONFIDENCE INTERVALS IN TWO-FACTOR

ANALYSIS

If a two-factor analysis of variance reveals a significant effect among levels of a fixed-effects factor having more than two levels, then we can determine between which levels the significant difference(s) occur(s). If the desire is to compare all pairs of means for levels in a factor, this may be done using the Tukey test (Section 11.1). The appropriate SE is calculated by Equation 11.2, substituting for n the number of data in each level (i.e., there are bn data in each level of factor A and an data in levels of factor B); s2 is the within-cells MS and v is the within-cells degrees of freedom. If there is no replication in the experiment, then we are obliged to use the remainder MS in place of the within-cells MS and to use the remainder DF as u.

Section 12.6


275

The calculation of confidence limits for the population mean estimated by each significantly different level mean can be performed by the procedures of Section 11.2, as can the computation of confidence limits for differences between members of pairs of significantly different level means. If it is desired to compare a control mean to each of the other level means, Dunnett's test, described in Section 11.3, may be used; and that section also shows how to calculate confidence limits for the differences between such means. Scheffe's procedure for multiple contrasts (Section 11.4) may also be applied to the levels of a factor, where the critical value in Equation 11.18 employs either a or b in place of k (depending, respectively, on whether the levels of factor A or B are being examined), and the within-cells DF is used in place of N - k. In all references to Chapter 11, n in the standard-error computation is to be replaced by the number of data per level, and s2 and 1J are the within-cells MS and OF, respectively. Multiple-comparison testing and confidence-interval determination are appropriate for levels of a fixed-effects factor but are not used with random-effects factors. (a) If Interaction Is Significant. On concluding that there is a significant interaction between factors A and B, it is generally not meaningful to test for differences among levels of either of the factors. However, it may be desired to perform multiple comparison testing to seek significant differences among cell means. This can be done with any of the above-mentioned procedures, where n (the number of data per cell) is appropriate instead of the number of data per level. For the Scheffe test critical value (Equation 1].] 8), k is the number of cells (i.e., k = ab) and N - k is the withincells DF. (b) Randomized Blocks and Repeated Measures. In randomized-block and repeated-measures experimental designs, the sphericity problem mentioned in Section 12.4d is reason to recommend that multiple-comparison testing not use a pooled variance but, instead, employ the Games and Howell procedure presented in Section 11.1b (Howell, 1997: 471). In doing so, the two sample sizes (ns and nA) for calculating SE (in Equation 11.5) will each be b. An analogous recommendation when the Dunnett test (Section 11.3) is performed would be to use Equation 11.11a in favor of Equation 11.11. And for multiple contrasts, the procedures of Section 11.4a would be followed. A similar recommendation for confidence limits for each mean is to use the variance associated with that mean instead of a pooled variance. Confidence limits for the difference between two means would employ Equation 11.7.

12.6 SAMPLE SIZE, DETECTABLE DIFFERENCE, AND POWER IN TWO-FACTOR OF VARIANCE

ANALYSIS

The concepts and procedures of estimating power, sample size, and rrurnmum detectable difference for a single-factor ANOV A are discussed in Section] 0.3, and the same considerations can be applied to fixed-effects factors in a two-factor analysis of variance. (The handling of the fixed factor in a mixed-model ANOV A will be explained in Section 12.6e.) We can consider either factor A or factor B (or both, but one at a time). Let us say k' is the number of levels of the factor being examined. (That is, k' = a for factor A: k' = b for factor B.) Let us define n' as the number of data in each level. (That is, n' = bn for factor A; n' = an for factor B.) We shall also have s2 refer

in order to estimate the power of the analysis of variance in detecting differences among the population means of the levels of the factor under consideration. After any of the computations of cjJ have taken place, either as above or as below, then we proceed to employ Appendix Figure B.l just as we did in Section 10.3, with VI being the factor OF (i.e., k' 1), and V2 referring to the within-cells (i.e., error) OF. Later in this book there are examples of ANOV As where the appropriate denominator for F is some mean square other than the within-cells MS. In such a case, s2 and V2 will refer to the relevant MS and OF. (b) Sample Size Required. By using Equation 12.41 with a specified significance level, and detectable difference between means, we can determine the necessary minimum number of data per level, n', needed to perform the experiment with a desired power. This is done iteratively, as it was in Example 10.6. (c) Minimum Detectable Difference. In Example 10.7 we estimated the smallest detectable difference between population means, given the significance level, sample size, and power of a one-way ANOV A. We can pose the same question in the two-factor experiment, generalizing Equation 10.35 as (12.42)

8= n'

(d) Maximum Number of Levels Testable. The considerations of Example 10.8 can be applied to the two-factor case by using Equation 12.41 instead of Equation 10.34. (e) Mixed-Model ANOVA. All the preceding considerations of this section can be applied to the fixed factor in a mixed-model (Model III) two-factor analysis of variance with the following modifications. For factor A fixed, with replication within cells, substitute the interaction MS for the within-cells MS, and use the interaction DF for V2.

Nonparametric

Randomized Blocks

277

For factor A fixed, with no replication (i.e., a randomized block experimental design), substitute the remainder MS for the within-cells MS, and use the remainder DF for P2. If there is no replication, then n = I, and n' = b. (Recall that if there is no replication, we do not test for interaction effect.) 7 NONPARAMETRIC RANDOMIZED-BLOCK

OR REPEATED-MEASURES ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

Friedman's" test (1937, 1940) is a nonparametric analysis that may be performed on a randomized-block experimental design, and it is especially useful with data that do not meet the parametric analysis of variance assumptions of normality and hornoscedasticity, namely that the k samples (i.e., the k: levels of the fixed-effect factor) come from populations that are each normally distributed and have the same variance. Kepner and Robinson (1988) showed that the Friedman test compares favorably with other nonparametric procedures. If the assumptions of the parametric ANOV A are met, the Friedman test will be 3k/[ 7T( k + 1)1 as powerful as the parametric method (van Elteren and Noether, 1959). (For example, the power of the nonparametric test ranges from 64% of the power of the parametric test when k = 2, to 72% when k = 3, to 87% when k = 10, to 95% when k approaches 00.) If the assumptions of the parametric test are seriously violated, it should not be used and the Friedman test is typically advisable. Where k = 2, the Friedman test is equivalent to the sign test (Section 24.6). In Example 12.5, Friedman's test is applied to the data of Example 12.4. The data within each of the b blocks are assigned ranks. The ranks are then summed for each of the a groups, each rank sum being denoted as Ri. The test statistic, X;, is calculated as + 12 a (12.44) LRT-3b(a+1). ba(a + 1)i=1

X;=

Critical values of X;, for many values of a and b. are given In Appendix Table B.14. When a = 2, the Wilcoxon paired-sample test (Section 9.5) should be used; if b = 2, then the Spearman rank correlation (Section 19.9) should be employed. Appendix Table B.14 should be used when the a and b of an experimental design are contained therein. For a and b beyond this table, the distribution of X; may be considered to be approximated by the X2 distribution (Appendix Table B.1), with a-I degrees offreedom. Fahoome (2002) advised that the chi-square approximation is acceptable when b is at least 13 when testing at the 0.05 level of significance and at least 23 when (\' = 0.01 is specified. However, Iman and Davenport (1980) showed that this commonly used approximation tends to be conservative (i.e., it may have a * Milton Friedman (1912-2006), American economist and winner of the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science.

OF VARIANCE

Chapters 12 and 14 dealt with analysis-of-variance experimental designs that the statistician refers to as crossed. A crossed experiment is one where all possible combinations of levels of the factors exist; the cells of data arc formed by each level of one factor being in combination with each level of every other factor. Thus, Example 12.1 is a two-factor crossed experimental design, for each sex is found in combination with each hormone treatment. In Example 14. L each of the three factors is found in combination with each of the other factors. In some experimental designs, however, we may have some levels of one factor occurring in combination with the levels of one or more other factors, and other distinctly different levels occurring in combination with others. In Example 15.1 a, where blood-cholesterol concentration is the variable, there arc two factors: drug type and drug source. Each drug was obtained from two sources, but the two sources arc not the same for all the drugs. Thus, the experimental design is not crossed; rather, we say it is nested (or hierarchical). One factor (drug source) is nested within another factor (drug type). A nested factor, as in the present example, is typically a random-effects factor. and the experiment may be viewed as a modified one-way ANOYA where the levels of this factor (drug source) arc samples and the cholesterol measurements within a drug source are called a

"subsamplc. " Sometimes experiments arc designed with nesting in order to test a hypothesis about difference among the samples. More typical. however, is the inclusion of a random-effects nested factor in order to account for some within-groups variability and thus make the hypothesis testing for the other factor (usually a fixed-effects factor) more powerful. 15.1 NESTING WITHIN ONE FACTOR In the experimental design such as in Example 15.1 a, the primary concern is to detect population differences among levels of the fixed-effects factor (drug type). We can often employ a more powerful test by nesting a random-effects factor that can account for some of the variability within the groups of interest. The partitioning of the variability in a nested ANOY A may he ohserved in this example. (a) Calculations for the Nested ANOV A. Testing the hypotheses in Example 15.1 a involves calculating relevant sums of squares and mean squares. This is often done by computer: it can also be accomplished with a calculator as follows

(see Example 15.1b). In the hierarchical design described, we can uniquely designate each datum by using a triple-subscript notation, where Xijl indicates the lth datum in subgroup j of group i. Thus, in Example 15.1a, X222 = 108 mg/100 ml, X311 = 104 mg/lOO ml, and so on. For the general case, there are a groups, numbered 1 through a, and b is the number of subgroups in each group. For Example 15.1a, there are three levels of factor A (drug type), and b (the number of levels of factor B, i.e., sources for each drug) is 2. The number of data in subgroup j of group i may be denoted by nij (2 in this experiment), and the total number of data in group i is n, (in this example, 4). The total number of observations in the entire experiment is N = L7= 1 n, (which could also be computed as N = Lj/= 1 Lj= 1 nij). The sum of the data in subgroup j of group i is calculated as L~~l Xijl; group i is

The summary of this hierarchical analysis of variance is presented in Table 15.1. Recall that MS = SS/OF. Some similarities may be noted between Tables 12.1 and 15.1, but in the nested ANOV A of Table 15.1 we cannot speak of interaction between the two factors. Calculations for the data and hypotheses of Example 15.1a are shown in Example 15.1b. (b) Hypothesis Testing in the Nested ANOVA. For the data in Example 15.1a, we can test the null hypothesis that no difference in cholesterol occurs among subgroups (i.e., the source of the drugs has no effect on the mean concentration of blood cholesterol). We do this by examining F

= subgroups MS.

(15.14)

error MS For Example 15.1b, this is F = 0.50/1.50 = 0.33; since FO.05(J ),3.6 = 4.76, Hi, is not rejected. (The exact probability of an F at least this large if Ho is true is 0.80.) The null hypothesis that there is no difference in cholesterol with the administration of the three different drugs can be tested by F

(15.15)

which in the present example is F = 30.58/0.50 = 61.16. As FO.05(J ).2,3 = 9.55, Ho is rejected. (The exact probability is 0.0037.) In an experimental design having subgroups nested within groups, as shown here, the groups most often represent a

fixed-effects factor. But the hypotheses testing is the same if, instead, the groups are a random-effects factor. If we do not reject the null hypothesis of no difference among subgroups within groups, then the subgroups MS might be considered to estimate the same population variance as does the error MS. Thus, some statisticians suggest that in such cases a pooled mean square can be calculated by pooling the sums of squares and pooling the degrees of freedom for the subgroups variability and the error variability, for this will theoretically provide the ability to perform a more powerful test for differences among groups. (Pooling was previously discussed in Section 12.1h.) However, there is not widespread agreement on this matter, so the suggested procedure is to be conservative and not engage in pooling, at least not without consulting a statistician. If there are unequal numbers of subgroups in each group, then the analysis becomes more complex, and the preceding calculations are not applicable. This situation is generally submitted to analysis by computer, perhaps by a procedure referred to in Glantz and Slinker (2001). A hierarchical experimental design might have two (or more) layers of nesting with each subgroup composed of sub-subgroups, thus involving an additional step in the hierarchy. For instance, for the data of Example 15.1a, the different drugs define the groups, the different sources define the subgroups, and if different technicians or different instruments were used to perform the cholesterol analyses within each subgroup, then these technicians or instruments would define the sub-subgroups. Sokal and Rohlf (1995: 288-292) describe the calculations for a design with subsubgroups, although one generally resorts to computer calculation for hierarchical designs with more than the two steps in the hierarchy discussed in the preceding paragraphs. See Appendix D.4b for assistance in hypothesis testing for one such nested design.

ANOV A with nesting within a

.2 NESTING IN FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

Experimental designs are encountered where there are two or more crossed factors as well as one or more nested factors. For example, in Example 12.1 the two crossed factors are sex and hormone treatment, and five birds of each sex were given each hormone treatment. In addition, the experimenter might have obtained three syringes of blood (that is, three subsamples) from each bird, so that individual birds would be samples and the triplicate blood collections would be subsamples. The birds represent a nested, rather than a crossed, factor because the same animal is not found at every combination of the other two factors. The analysis-of-variance table would then look like that in Example 15.2. The computation of sums of squares could be obtained by computer, and the appropriate hypothesis testing will be that indicated in Appendix D.4c. Some available computer programs can operate with data where there is not equal replication. As shown in Appendix Table D.4c, in a factorial ANOV A with nesting, the determination of F's for hypothesis testing depends upon whether the crossed factors are fixed effects or random effects. The concept of hierarchical experimental designs could be extended further in this example by considering that each subsample (i.e., each syringe of blood) in Example 15.2 was subjected to two or more (i.e., replicate) chemical analyses. Then chemical analysis would be a factor nested within the syringe factor, syringe nested within animal, and animal nested within the two crossed factors. EXAMPLE 15.2 (Animal) Nested Example 12.1

An Analysis of Variance with a Random-effects Factor within the Two-factor Crossed Experimental Design of

For each of the four combinations of two sexes and two hormone treatments (a = 2 and b = 2), there are five animals (c = 5), from each of which three blood collections are taken (n = 3).

AND CONFIDENCE INTERVALS

Whenever a fixed-effects factor is concluded by an ANOV A to have a significan effect on the variable, we may turn to the question of which of the factor's levels are different from which others. If there are only two levels of the factor, then 0 course we have concluded that their population means are different by the ANOVA. But if there are more than two levels, then a multiple-comparison test must employed. The multiple-comparison procedures usable in nested experimental designs ar discussed in Chapter 11, with slight modifications such as those we saw in Section 12.5 and 14.6. Simply keep the following in mind when employing the tests of Sectio 11.1, 11.3, and 11.4: I. k refers to the number of levels being compared. (In Example I5.la, k = a, th number of levels in factor A. In Example 15.2, k = a when comparing levels 0 factor A, and k = b when testing levels of factor B.) 2. The sample size, n, refers to the total number of data from which a level mean' calculated. (In Example 15.1a, the sample size bn = 4 would be used in place 0 n. In Example 15.2, we would use ben = 30 to compare level means for facto A and aen = 30 for factor B.)

J. The mean square . .\"2. refers to the MS in the denominator of the F ratio appropriate to testing the effect in question in the ANOV A. (In Example 15.1 a. the subgroups [sources] MS would be used. In Example 15.2. the factor C MS would he uscd.) 4. The degrees of freedom. v, for the critical value of q or q' are the degrees of freedom associated with the mean square indicated in item J. (In Examples 15.la and 15.2. these would be 3 and 16. respcctivcly.) 5. The critical value of F in the Schcffc test has the same degrees of freedom as it does in the ANOV A for the factor under consideration. (In Example 15.la. these are 2 and J. In Example 15.2, they are 1 and 16.) Once a multiple-comparison test has determined where differences lie among level means. we can express a confidence interval for each different mean. as was done in Sections 11.2. 12.5. and 14.6. keeping in mind the sample sizes. mean squares. and degrees of freedom defined in the preceding list.

16.4 OTHER EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

Chapters 10, 12, 14, and 15 discussed various experimental designs categorized as analysis of variance (ANOY A), wherein a variable is measured in each of several categories, or levels, of one or more factors. The hypothesis testing asked whether the population mean of the variable differed among the levels of each factor. These are examples of what may be termed univariate analyses of variance, because they examine the effect of the factor(s) on only one variable. An expansion of this concept is an experimental design where more than one variable is measured on each experimental subject. In Example 10.1. 19 animals were allocated at random to four experimental groups, and each group was fed a different diet. Thus, diet was the experimental factor, and there were four levels of the factor. In that example, only one variable was measured on each animal: the body weight. But other measurements might have been made on each animal. such as blood cholesterol. blood pressure, or body fat. If two or more variables are measured on each subject in an ANOY A design, we have a multivariate analysis of variance (abbreviated MANOY A).* There arc several uses to which multivariate analysis of variance may be put (e.g., Hair ct al., 2006: 399-402). This chapter presents a brief introduction to this type of analysis, a multifaceted topic often warranting consultation with knowledgeable practitioners. More extensive coverage is found in many texts on the subject (e.g., Bray and Maxwell, 1985; Hair et al., 2006: Chapter 6; Hand and Taylor, 1987: Chapter 4; Johnson and Wichern, 2002: Chapter 6; Marcoulides and Hershberger, 1997: Chapters 3-4; Sharma, 1996: Chapters 11-12; Srivastava, 2002: Chapter 6; Stevens, 2002: Chapters 4-6; and Tabachnik and Fidell, 2001: Chapter 9). Other multivariate statistical methods are discussed in Chapter 20. The multivariate analysis-of-variance experimental design discussed here deals with a single factor. There are also MANOY A procedures for blocked, repeatedmeasures, and factorial experimental designs, as presented in the references just cited. 16.1

THE MULTIVARIATE

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Recall that univariate analysis of variance assumes that the sample of data for each group of data came from a population of data that were normally distributed, and univariate normal distributions may be shown graphically as in Figures 6.1 and 6.2. In "Sometimes the variables are referred variables or criterion variables. 316

such two-dimensional figures, the height of the curve, Y, representing the frequency of observations at a given magnitude of the variable X, is plotted against that value of X; and the highest point of the normal curve is at the mean of X. The simplest multivariate case is where there are two variables (call them XI and X2) and they can be plotted on a graph with three axes representing Y, XI, and X2. The two-variable extension of the single-variable normal curve is a surface representing a bivariate normal distribution, such as that shown in Figure 16.1.* The three-dimensional normal surface rises like a hill above a flat floor (where the floor is the plane formed by the two variables, XI and X2), and the highest point of the curved surface is at the means of XI and X2. A plot of more than three dimensions would be required to depict multivariate distributions with more than two measured variables. Multivariate normality requires, among other characteristics (e.g., Stevens, 2002: 262), that for each Xi (in this example, Xi and X2) there is a normal distribution of Y values. As shown in Figure 6.2a, univariate normal distributions with smaller standard deviations form narrower curves than those with larger standard deviations. Similarly, the hill-shaped bivariate graph of Figure 16.1 will be narrow when the standard deviations of XI and X2 are small and broad when they are large. Rather than drawing bivariate normal graphs such as Figure 16.1, we may prefer to depict these three-dimensional plots using two dimensions, just as mapmakers represent an elevated or depressed landscape using contour lines. Figure 16.2a shows the distribution of Figure 16.1 with a small plane passing through it parallel to the XI and X2 plane at the base of the graph. A circle is delineated where the small plane intersects the normal-distribution surface. Figure 16.2b shows two planes passing through the normal surface of Figure 16.1 parallel to its base, and their intersections form two concentric circles. If Figures l6.2a and 16.2b are viewed from above the surface, looking straight down toward the plane of XI and X2, those circles would appear as in Figures 16.3a and 16.3b, respectively. Three such intersecting planes would result in three circles, and so on. If the standard deviations "This three-dimensional 1872 (Stigler, 1999: 404).

of Xl and X2 are not the same, then parallel planes will intersect the bivariatenormal surface to form ellipses instead of circles. This is shown, for three planes, in Figure 16.4. In such plots, the largest ellipses (or circles, if XI and X2 have equal standard deviations) will be formed nearest the tails of the distribution. Only ellipses (and not circles) will be discussed hereafter, for it is unlikely that the two variables will have exactly the same variances (that is, the same standard deviations). If an increase in magnitude of one of the two variables is not associated with a change in magnitude of the other, it is said that there is no correlation between XI and X2. If an increase in magnitude of one of the variables is associated with either an increase or a decrease in the other, then the two variables are said to be correlated. (Chapter 19 provides a discussion of correlation.) If Xl and X2 are not correlated, graphs such as Figure 16.4 will show the long axis of all the ellipses parallel to either the Xl or X2 axis of the graph (Figures 16.4a and 16.4b, respectively). If, however, Xl and X2 are positively correlated, the ellipses appear as running from the lower left to the upper right of the graph (Figure 16.4c); and if the two variables are negatively correlated, the ellipses run from the lower right to the upper left (Figure 16.4d).

MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE HYPOTHESIS TESTING

At the beginning of the discussion of univariate analysis of variance (Chapter 10), it was explained that, when comparing a variable's mean among more than two groups, to employ multiple r-tests would cause a substantial inflation of a, the probability of a Type I error. In multivariate situations, we desire to compare two or more variables' means among two or more groups, and to do so with multiple ANOV As would also result in an inflated chance of a Type I error". Multivariate analysis of variance is a method of comparing the population means for each of the multiple variables of interest at the same time while maintaining the chosen magnitude of Type I error. A second desirable trait of MANOV A is that it considers the correlation among multiple variables, which separate ANOV As cannot do. Indeed, if the variables *For m variables, the probability of a Type I error will range from a, if all of the variables are perfectly correlated, to 1 - (1 - a)l1I, if there is no correlation among them. So, for example, if testing with two variables at the 5% significance level, P(Type I error) = 0.10 (Hair et al., 2006: 4(0), which can be seen from Table 10.1 by substituting m for C.

are correlated, MANOY A may provide more powerful testing than performing a series of separate ANOY As. (However, if the variables are not correlated, separate ANOYAs may be more powerful than MANOY A.) For example, there are two bivariate distributions depicted in Figure 16.5, with the distribution of variable Xl being very similar in the two groups and the distribution of X2 also being very similar in the two groups. Therefore, a univariate ANOY A (or a two-sample t-test) will be unlikely to conclude a difference between the means of the groups for variable Xl or for variable X2, but MANOY A may very well conclude the means of the two bivariate distributions to be different. Third, sometimes group differences for each of several variables are too small to be detected with a series of ANOY As, but a MANOY A will conclude the groups different by considering the variables jointly. Stevens (2002: 245) cautions to include in the analysis only variables for which there is good rationale, because very small differences between means for most of them may obscure substantial differences for some of them. In univariate ANOY A with k groups, a typical null hypothesis is Ho:

J.L1

=

J.L2

= ... =

J.Lk,

which says that all k population means are the same. And the corresponding hypothesis is

alternate

HA: The k: population means are not all equal. Recall that HA does not say that all means are different, only that at least one is different from the others. Thus, for example, Example 10.1 presented an experiment to ask whether the mean body weight of pigs is the same when the animals are raised on four different feeds. And He: H/l:

J.L1

=

J.L2

=

J.L3

J.L4

All four population means are not equal.

In a MANOY A with two variables (Xl and X2) and k groups, the null hypothesis may be stated as Ho:

J.Lll

=

fLl2

= ... =

fLlk

and

J.L2l

=

fL22

= ... =

J.L2b

Section 16.2

where fLij denotes the population mean of variable i in group j. This Hi, says that the means of variable 1 are the same for all k groups and the means of variable 2 are the same for all k groups. The corresponding MANOY A alternate hypothesis is HA:

The k populations do not have the same group means for variable 1 and the same group means for variable 2.

Thus, Hi, is rejected if any of the fLlj'S are concluded to differ from each other or if any ofthe fL2/S are concluded to differ from each other. Example 16.1 is similar to Example 10.1, except it comprises two variables (Xl and X2): the weight of each animal's body fat and the dry weight of each animal without its body fat. The null hypothesis is that mean weight of body fat is the same on all four diets and the mean fat-free dry body weight is the same on all of these diets. (It is not being hypothesized that mean body-fat weight is the same as mean fat-free dry body weight!) In this example, Ho: fLll and HA:

=

i-v:

= fL13 = fLl4

and

fL2l

= fL22 = fL23 = fL24

The four feeds do not result in the same mean weight of body fat and the same mean fat-free dry body weight.

If, in the sampled populations, one or more of the six equals signs in Hi, is untrue, then Hi, should be rejected. There are several methods for comparing means to test MANOY A hypotheses. This chapter will refer to four test statistics employed for this purpose and encountered in MANOY A computer programs. None of these four is considered "best" in all situations. Each captures different characteristics of the differences among means; thus, the four have somewhat different abilities to detect differences in various circumstances. The computations of these test statistics are far from simple and-especially for more than two variables-cannot readily be expressed in algebraic equations. (They are represented with much less effort as matrix calculations, which are beyond the scope of this book.) Therefore, we shall depend upon computer programs to calculate these statistics and shall not attempt to demonstrate the numerical manipulations. It can be noted, however, that the necessary calculations involve total, groups, and error sums of squares (SS, introduced in Section 10.1) and sums of cross products (to be introduced in Section 17.2). And, just as mean squares are derived from sums of squares, quantities known as "covariances" are derived from sums of crossproducts. The four common MANOY A test statistics are the following.* They are all given by most MANOY A computer software; they often result in the same or very similar conclusions regarding Ho and operate with similar power (especially with large samples); and they yield identical results when only one variable is being analyzed (a univariate ANOY A) or when k = 2. • Wilks' lambda. Wilks' A (capital Greek lambda), also called Wilks' likelihood ratio (or Wilks' U),t is the oldest and most commonly encountered multivariate analysis-of-variance statistic, dating from the original formulation of the "Each of the four MANGY A statistics is a function of what are called eigenvalues, or roots, of matrices. Matrix algebra is explained in many tests on multivariate statistics, and an introduction to it is given in Section 20.1. tNamed for American statistician Samuel Stanley Wilks (1906-1964), who made numerous contributions to theoretical and applied statistics, including to MANGY A (David and Morrison, 2006).

(e.g., Fort or X2), Hi, is rejected for small, instead of large, values of A. Tables of critical values have been published (e.g., Rencher, 2002: 161,566-573), but computer programs may present A transformed into a value of F or X2 (tables of which are far more available) with the associated probability (P); as elsewhere, large values of For X2 yield small P's. In Example 16.1, A is an expression of the amount of variability among fat weights and among lean dry body weights that is not accounted for by the effect of the four times of year. • Pillai's trace. This statistic, based on Pillai (1955), is also called the Pillai-Bartlett trace (or V). * Many authors recommend this statistic as the best test for general use (see Section 16.2a). Large values of V result in rejection of H«. There are tables of critical values of this statistic (e.g., Rencher, 2002: 166-167, 578-581), but it is often transformed to a value of F. • Lawley-Hotelling trace. This statistic (sometimes symbolized by U) was developed by Lawley (1938) and modified by Hotelling (1951). Tables of critical values exist for this (e.g., Rencher, 2002: 167, 582-686), but it is commonly transformed into values of F. • Roy's maximum root. This is also known by similar names, such as Roy's largest, or greatest, root and sometimes denoted by (J (lowercase Greek theta). This statistic (Roy, 1945) may be compared to critical values (e.g., Rencher, 2002: 165,574-577), or it may be converted to an F. Wilks' A is a very widely used test statistic for MANOV A, but Olson (1974, 1976, 1979) concluded that Pillai's trace is usually more powerful (see Section 16.2b), and others have found that the Pillai statistic appears to be the most robust and most desirable for general use. If the four MANOV A test statistics do not result in the same conclusion about Ho, further scrutiny of the data may include examination of scatter plots (see Section 17.1), with axes as in Figures 16.5 and 16.6, for correlation among variables. Correlation will suggest favoring the conclusion reached by Pillai's trace, and noncorrelation will suggest relying on Roy's statistic for superior power. In Example 16.1, all four test statistics conclude that Ho is to be rejected. (a) Assumptions. As in univariate ANOV A (Section 10.1), the underlying mathematical foundations of MANOV A depend upon certain assumptions. Although it is unlikely that all of the assumptions will be exactly met for a given set of data, it is important to be cognizant of them and of whether the statistical procedures employed are robust to departures from them. A very important underlying assumption in MANOV A is that the data represent random samples from the populations of interest and that the observations on each subject are independent. In Example 16.1, the body-fat weights of sparrows in each month are assumed to have come at random from the population of body-fat weights of all sparrows from that month from that location, and the lean dry weights at each month are assumed to have come randomly from a population of such weights. Also, the body-fat weight of each subject (i.e., each sparrow) must be independent of the body-fat weight of each other subject, and the lean dry body weights of all the subjects must be independent of each other. MANOV A is invalidated by departure from the assumption of random and independent data. * A trace is the result of a specific mathematical operation on a matrix. See Section 20.1 for more information on matrices.

Section 16.2

Multivariate

Analysis of Variance Hypothesis Testing

325

There are statistical tests for this assumption, such as that which is analogous to the Bartlett test of the homogeneity of variances in the univariate ANOV A (Section 10.6) (Box, 1949, 1950) but which is seriously affected by nonnormality (e.g., Olson. 1974; Stevens, 2002: 271) and thus is not generally recommended. Data transformations (Chapter 13) may be useful to reduce nonnormality or to reduce heterogeneity of variances and covariances. Although MANOV A is typically robust to departures from the variability and variance-correlations assumptions, the Pillai trace (according to Olson, 1974, 1976) is generally the most robust of the four methods.

(b) Power.

The power of a MANOV A depends upon a complex set of characteristics, including the extent to which the underlying assumptions (see Section 16.2a) are met. In genera!, increased sample size is associated with increased power, but power decreases with increase in the number of variables. Thus, if it is desired to employ an experimental design with several variables, larger samples will be needed than would be the case if there were only two variables. Also, as with ANOV A, the power of MANOV A is greater when the population differences between means are larger and when the variability within groups is small. The magnitude of correlations between variables can cause MANOV A to be either more or less powerful than separate ANOV As. Some MANOV A computer programs calculate power, and Rencher (2002: Section 4.4) and Stevens (2002: 192-2(2) discuss the estimation of power and of the sample size required in MANOV A. Many computer programs provide a calculation of power, but recall (e.g., Section 10.3) that power estimated from a set of data should be considered as applying to future data sets. Differences in power among the four test statistics are often not great, but there can be differences. If the group means differ in only one direction (i.e., they are uncorrelated, as in Figure 16.6), a relatively uncommon situation, Roy's statistic is the most powerful of the four, followed-in order of power-by the Lawley-Hotelling trace, Wilks' A, and Pillai's trace. However, in the more common situation where the group means differ among more than one dimension (i.e., the variables are correlated, as in Figure 16.5), then the relative powers of these statistics are in the reverse order: The Pillai trace is the most powerful, followed by Wilks' A, the Lawley-Hotelling trace, and then Roy's statistic. In intermediate situations, the four statistics tend more toward the latter ordering than the former.

(c) Two-Sample Hypotheses. The preceding four procedures may be used in the case of only two groups, for when k = 2 all four will yield the same results. But another test encountered for two-group multivariate analysis is Hotelling's T2 (Hotelling, 1931). This is analogous to the univariate two-group situation, where either ANOVA (Section 10.1) or Student's t (Section 8.1) may be employed. T2 is related to the MANOV A statistics of Section 16.2 as follows (Rencher, 2002: 130)*:

FURTHER ANALYSIS

When a MANOY A rejects H«, there are procedures that might be employed to expand the analysis of difference among groups (e.g., Bray and Maxwell, 1985: 40-45; Hand and Taylor, 1987: Chapter 5; Hair et al., 2006: 422-426); Hummel and Sligo, 1971; Stevens, 2002: 217-225; Weinfurt, 1995). One approach is to perform a univariate ANOY A on each of the variables (Rencher, 2002: 162-164, followed perhaps by multiple comparisons; see Chapter 11) to test the difference among means for each variable separately. However, this procedure will ignore relationships among the variables, and other criticisms have been raised (e.g., Weinfurt, 1995). Multiplecomparison tests are described in some of the references cited in this discussion. In univariate ANOY A, one can reject Ho and have none of the !-L'S declared different by further analysis (Chapter 11). Similarly, a MANOYA may reject Ho with subsequent ANOYAs detecting no differences (either because of lack of power or because the interrelations among variables are important in rejection of the multivariate Ho). Some computer programs perform ANOY As along with a MANOY A. If k = 2 and Ho is rejected by MANOY A or Hotelling's T2 test, then two-sample t tests and univariate ANOY As will yield identical results. 16.4

OTHER EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

The data of Example 16.1 are subjected to a multivariate analysis of variance composed of one factor (time of year) and two variables (weight of fat and fat-free dry body weight). This is the same experimental design as the ANOY A of Example 10.1 except that two variables, instead of one, are measured on each animal. A MANOY A may also involve more than two variables. For example, the blood· cholesterol concentration might have been a third variable measured for each of the animals, and the null hypothesis regarding the four factor levels (months) would be Ho:

Other sets of data may be the result of consideration of more than one variable and more than one factor. For example, measurements of two or more variables, such as those in Example 16.1, might have been collected for sparrows collected at more than one time of year and at more than one geographic location. This would be a multivariate factorial experimental design (which could include an examination of factor interactions), and multivariate versions of repeated-measures and hierarchical analyses of variance are also possible, as is multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOV A). These are multivariate extensions of the considerations of Chapters 12, 14, and 15 and are discussed in some of the references cited immediately preceding Section 16.1. Multivariate one-sample testing (analogous to the univariate testing in Section 7.1) and paired-sample testing (analogous to Section 9.1) are possible (e.g., Rencher, 2002: Sections 5.3.2 and 5.7.1). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), introduced in Section 12.9, also may be extended to experimental designs with multiple dependent variables. This is done via MANCOV A, for which computer routines are available.

THE EFFECT OF CODING DATA

Techniques that consider relationships between two variables are described in this and the following two chapters. Chapter 20 presents the expansion of such techniques to analyze situations where more than two variables may be related to each other. 17.1

REGRESSION VERSUS CORRELATION* The relationship between two variables may be one of functional dependence of one on the other. That is, the magnitude of one of the variables (the dependent variable) is assumed to be determined by-that is, is a function of-the magnitude of the second variable (the independent variable). whereas the reverse is not true. For example, in the relationship between blood pressure and age in humans, blood pressure may be considered the dependent variable and age the independent variable; we may reasonably assume that although the magnitude of a person's blood pressure might be a function of age, age is not determined by blood pressure. This is not to say that age is the only biological determinant of blood pressure, but we do consider it to be one determining factor." The term dependent docs not necessarily in.ply a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. (See Section 17.4.) Such a dependence relationship is called a regression. The term simple regression refers to the simplest kind of regression, one in which only two variables are considered. :!: "The historical developments of regression and correlation are strongly related, owing their discovery-the latter following the former-to Sir Francis Galton. who first developed these procedures during I ~75-1 ~Wi (Walker. 1929: 103-104, 1~7): see also the first footnote in Section 19.1. He first used the term regression in I HilS (Desmond. 2()()()). "Some authors refer to the independent variable as the predictor. regressor. explanatory. or exogenous variable and the dependent variable as the response, criterion, or endogenous variable. :i In the case of simple regression. the adjective linear may be used to refer to the relationship between the two variables being a straight line. but to a statistician it describes thc relationship of the parameters discussed in Section 17.2.

Regression versus Correlation

Data amenable to simple regression analysis consist of pairs of data measured on a ratio or interval scale. These data are composed of measurements of a dependent, variable (Y) that is a random effect and an independent variable (X) that is either a fixed effect or a random effect. * (See Section JO.lf for a review of these concepts.) It is convenient and informative to graph simple regression data using the ordinate (Y axis) for the dependent variable and the abscissa (X axis) for the independent variable. Such a graph is shown in Figure 17.1 for the n = 13 data of Example 17.1, where the data appear as a scatter of 13 points, each point representing a pair of X and Y values. t One pair of X and Y data may be designated as (Xl, Yj), another as (X2, Y2), another as (X3, Y3), and so on, resulting in what is called a scatter plot of all n of the (Xi, Yi) data. (The line passing through the data in this figure will be explained in Section 17.2.) EXAMPLE 17.1 Wing Lengths of 13 Sparrows of Various Ages. The Data Are Plotted in Figure 17.1.

*On rare occasions, we want to describe a regression relationship where the dependent variable (Y) is recorded on a nominal scale. This requires logistic regression, a procedure discussed in Section 24.1R. "Royston (1956) observed that "the basic idea of using co-ordinates to determine the location of

a point in space dates back to the Greeks at least, although it was not until the time of Descartes that mathematicians systematically developed the idea." The familiar system of specifying the location of a point by its distance from each of two perpendicular axes (now commonly called the X and Y axes) is referred to as Cartesian coordinates, after the French mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650), who wrote under the Latinized version of his name, Renatus Cartesius. His other enduring mathematical introductions included (in 1637) the use of numerals as exponents, the square root sign with a vinculum (i.e., with a horizontal line: F), and the use of letters at the end of the alphabet (e.g., X, Y, Z) to denote variables and those near the beginning (e.g., a, b, c) to represent constants (Asirnov, 19R2: 117: Cajori, 1928: 205, 20R. 375).

,7.7 REGRESSION WITH REPLICATION AND TESTING FOR LINEARITY If, in Example 17.1, we had wing measurements for more than one bird for at least some of the recorded ages, then we could test the null hypothesis that the population regression is linear.* (Note that true replication requires that there are multiple birds at a given age, not that there are multiple wing measurements on the same bird.) Figure 17.9 presents the data of Example 17.8a. A least-squares, best-fit, linear regression equation can be calculated for any set of at least two data, but neither the equation itself nor the testing for a significant slope (which requires at least three data) indicates whether Y is, in fact, a straight-line function of X in the population sampled.

We occasionally encounter the suggestion that for data such as those in Figure 17.9 the mean Y at each X be utilized for a regression analysis. However, to do so would be to discard information, and such a procedure is not recommended (Freund, 1971). "Thornby (1972) presents a procedure to test the hypothesis of linearity not multiple observations of Y. But the computation is rather tedious.

Example 17.8b appropriately analyzes data consisting of multiple Y values at each X value, and Figure 17.9 presents the data graphically. For each of the k: unique Xi values, we can speak of each of ru values of Y (denoted by Yij) using the double subscript on i exactly as in the one-way analysis of variance (Section 10.1). In Example 17.8a, nl = 3, n2 = 4, n3 = 3, and so on; and XII = 50 em, Yii = 108 mm; X12 = 50 em, YI2 = 110 mm; X13 = 50 em, Y13 = 106 mm; and so on through XS5 = 70 em, Y55 = 159 mm. Therefore, k

The total, regression, and residual degrees of freedom are N - 1, 1, and N - 2, respectively. As shown in Section 17.3, the analysis of variance for significant slope involves the partitioning Aofthe total variability of Y (i.e., Yij - Y) into that variability due to regression (Yi - Y) ~nd that variability remaining (i.e., residual) after the regression line is fitted (Yij - Vi). However, by considering the k groups of Y values, we can also partition the total variability exactly as we did in the one-way analysis of variance (Sections 10.1a and 10.1b), by describing variability among groups (Y, - Y) and within groups (Yij - Vi):

The variability among groups (Yi - Y) can also be partitioned. Part of this variability ("Vi - Y) results from the linear regression fit to the data, and the rest (Yi - 1\) is due to the deviation of each group of data from the regression line, as shown in Figure 17.10. Therefore, deviations-from-linearity

and deviations-from-linearity (Yi )7i). This partitioning of sums of squares and degrees of freedom is summarized in Table 17.3.* If the population relationship between Y and X is a straight line (i.e., "He The population regression is linear" is a true statement), then the deviations-fromlinearity MS and the within-groups MS will be estimates of the same variance; if the relationship is not a straight line (Ho is false), then the deviations-from-linearity MS will be significantly greater than the within-groups MS. Thus, as demonstrated in Example 17.8b, F = deviations-from-linearity within-groups MS

MS

provides a one-tailed test of the null hypothesis of linearity. (If all ni's are equal, then performing a regression using the k Y's will result in the same b and a as will the calculations using all N Y/s but the significance test for f3 will be much less powerful and the preceding test for linearity will not be possible.) The power for the test for linearity will be greater for larger numbers of replicate Y's at each X. If the null hypothesis of linearity is not rejected, then the deviations-from-linearity MS and the within-groups MS may be considered to be estimates of the same population variance. The latter will be the better estimate, as it is based on more degrees of freedom; but an even better estimate is the residual MS, which is s~-x, for it constitutes a pooling of the deviations MS and the within-groups MS. Therefore, if a regression is assumed to be linear, s~-x is the appropriate variance to use in the computation of standard errors (e.g., by Equations 17.20,17.26-17.29) and confidence intervals resulting from them, and this residual mean square (s~-x) is also appropriate in testing the hypothesis He: f3 = 0 (either by Equation 17.14 or by Equations 17.20 and 17.21), as demonstrated in Example 17.8b. If the population regression is concluded not to be linear, then the investigator can consider the procedures of Section 17.10 or 20.14 or of Chapter 21. If, however, it is desired to test He: f3 = 0, then the within-groups MS should be substituted for the residual MS (s~.x); but it would not be advisable to engage in predictions with the linear-regression equation. *Some authors refer to deviations from linearity as "lack of fit" and to within-groups variability as "error" or "pure error."

Section 17.9

Regression through the Origin

(a) Regression versus Analysis of Variance. Data consisting of replicate values of Y at each of several values of X (such as in Example I7.X) could also he submitted to a single-factor analysis of variance (Chapter 10). This would be done by considering the X's as levels of the factor and the Y's as the data whose means are to he compared (i.e., Y here is the same as X in Chapter 10). This would test Hi; fil = fi2 = ... = fit: instead of H«: (3 = 0, where k is the number of different values of X (c.g., k = ) in Example 17.X). When there are only two levels of the ANOYA factor (i.e .. two different X's in regression), the power or testing these two hypotheses is the same. Otherwise. the regression analysis will he more powerful than the ANOY A (Cottingham, Lennon, and Brown, 2(0)). POWER AND SAMPLE SIZE IN REGRESSION Although there are hasic differences between regression and correlation (see Section 17.1), a set of data for which there is a statistically significant regression coefficient (i.c., He: (3 = 0 is rejected. as explained in Section 17.3) would also yield a statistically significant correlation coefficient (i.e .. we would reject H(): p = 0, to be discussed in Section 19.2). In addition, conclusions about the power of a significance test for a regression coefficient can be obtained by estimating power associated with the significance test for the correlation coefficient that would have been obtained from the same set of data. After performing a regression analysis for a set of data, we may obtain the sample correlation coefficient. r, either from Equation 19.1. or. more simply. as

In this type of regression analysis. both variables must be measured on a ratio scale. for only such a scale has a true zero (see Section 1.1).

Tests of hypotheses about the slope of the line are performed, as explained earlier in this chapter, with the exception that the preceding values are used; n - 1 is used as degrees of freedom whenever n - 2 is used for regressions not assumed to pass through the origin. Some statisticians (e.g., Kvalseth, 1985) caution against expressing a coefficient of determination, ,2, for this kind of regression. Bissell (1992) discusses potential difficulties with, and alternatives to, this regression model. A regression line forced through the origin does not necessarily pass through point (X, Y).

DATA TRANSFORMATIONS

IN REGRESSION

As noted in Section 17.2d, the testing of regression hypotheses and the computation of confidence intervals-though not the calculation of a and h-depend upon the assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity, with regard to the values of Y, the dependent variable. Chapter 13 discussed the logarithmic, square-root, and arcsine transformations of data to achieve closer approximations to these assumptions. Consciously striving to satisfy the assumptions often (but without guaranty) appeases the others. The same considerations are applicable to regression data. Transformation of the independent variable will not affect the distribution of Y, so transformations of X generally may be made with impunity, and sometimes they conveniently convert a curved line into a straight line. However, transformations of Y do affect least-squares considerations and will therefore be discussed. Acton (1966: Chapter 8); Glantz and Slinker (2001: 150-154 ); Montgomery, Peck, and Vining (2001: 173-193); and Weisberg (2005: Chapter 7) present further discussions of transformations in regression. If the values of Yare from a Poisson distribution (i.e., the data are counts, especially small counts), then the square-root transformation is usually desirable: Y' =

Jy

+ 0.5,

(17.63)

where the values of the variable after transformation (Y') are then submitted regression analysis. (Also refer to Section 13.2.) If the Y values are from a binomial distribution (e.g.. they are proportions percentages), then the arcsine transformation is appropriate: Y'

Chapter 17


The most commonly used transformation in regression is the logarithmic transformation (see also Section 13.1), although it is sometimes employed for the wrong reasons. This transformation, Y' = logY, (17.65) or Y'

= 10g(Y + 1),

(17.66)

is appropriate when there is heteroscedasticity owing to the standard deviation of Y at any X increasing in proportion to the value of X. When this situation exists, it implies that values of Y can be measured more accurately at low than at high values of X. Figure 17.11 shows such data (from Example 17.9) before and after the transformation. EXAMPLE 17.9 mation of Y

Many scatter plots of data imply a curved, rather than a straight-line, dependence of Yon X (e.g., Figure 17.11a). Often, logarithmic or other transformations of the values of Y and/or X will result in a straight-line relationship (as Figure 17.11b) amenable to linear regression techniques. However, if original, nontransformed values of Yagree with our assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity, then the data resulting from any of the preceding transformations will not abide by these assumptions. This is often not considered, and many biologists employing transformations do so simply to straighten out a curved line and neglect to consider whether the transformed data might indeed be analyzed legitimately by least-squares regression methods. If a transformation may not be used validly to straighten out a curvilinear regression, then Section 20.15 (or perhaps Chapter 21) may be applicable.

Section 13.4 mentions some other, less commonly employed, data transformations. Iman and Conover (1979) discuss rank transformation (i.e., performing a regression of the ranks of Y on the ranks of X). (a) Examination of Residuals. Since the logarithmic transformation is frequently proposed and employed to try to achieve homoscedasticity, we should consider how a justification for such a transformation might be obtained. If a regressi~n is fitted by least squares, then the sample residuals (i.e., the values of Yi - Yi) may be plotted against their corresponding X's, as in Figure 17.12 (see Draper and Smith, 1998: 62-64). If homoscedasticity exists, then the residuals should be distributed evenly above and below zero (i.e., within the shaded area in Figure 17.12a).

(c) Data for which there was likely an error in the regression calculations, or an additional variable is needed in the regression model. (d) Data for which a linear regression does not accurately describe the relationship between Y and X, and a curvilinear relationship should be considered.

If there is heteroscedasticity due to increasing variability in Y with increasing values of X. then the residuals will form a pattern such as in Figure 17.12h. and a logarithmic transformation might he warranted. If the residuals form a pattern such as in Figure 17.12c. we should suspect that a calculation error has occured or. that an additional important variable should he added to the regression model (see Chapter 20). The pattern in Figure 17.12d indicates that a linear regression is an improper model to describe the data; for example. a quadratic regression (see Section 21.2) might he employed. Glejser (1969) suggests fitting the simple linear regression (17.67) where E, = lYi - Yil. A statistically significant b greater than zero indicates Figure 17.12h to he the case, and the logarithmic transformation may be attempted. Then. after the ap~tion of the transformation. a plot of the new residuals (i.e .. log Yi - log Yi) should be examined and Equation 17.67 fitted. where E,

has a b not significantly different from zero,

then we may assume that the transformation was justified. An outlier (see Section I7.2d) will appear on plots such as Figure 17.12 as a point very far outside the pattern indicated by the shaded area. Tests for normality in the distribution ~of residuals may be made by using the methods of Section 6.6 (employing Yi - Yi in place of Xi in that section); graphical examination of normality (as in Figure 6.11) is often convenient.

The Effect of Coding Data

361

THE EFFECT OF CODING DATA Either X or Y data, or both, may be coded prior to the application of regression analysis, and coding may facilitate computations, especially when the data are very large or very small in magnitude. As shown in Sections 3.5 and 4.8, coding may consist of adding a constant to (or subtracting it from) X, or multiplying (or dividing) X by a constant; or both addition (or subtraction) and multiplication (or division) may be applied simultaneously. Values of Y may be coded in the same fashion; this may even be done simultaneously with the coding of X values, using either the same or different coding constants. If we let M x and My represent constants by which X and Y, respectively, are to be multiplied, and let Ax and A y be constants then to be added to MxX and MyY, respectively, then the transformed variables, [Xl and [Y], are ( 17.(8) [X] = MxX + Ax and [Y]

=

MyY

+ Ay.

(17.69)

As shown in Appendix C, the slope, /J, will not be changed by adding constants to X and/or Y, for such transformations have the effect of simply sliding the scale of one or both axes. But if multiplication factors are used in coding, then the resultant slope, [17], will be equal to (17 ) (M yj M x). Note that coding in no way alters the value of r2 or the tor F statistics calculated for hypothesis testing. A common situation involving multiplicative coding factors is one where the variables were recorded using certain units of measurement, and we want to determine what regression statistics would have resulted if other units of measurement had been used. For the data in Examples 17.1, 17.2, and 17.3, a = 0.715 em, and b = 0.270 ern/day, and Syx = 0.218 ern. If the wing length data were measured in inches, instead of in centimeters, there would have to be a coding by multiplying by 0.3937 in./cm (for there are 0.3937 inches in one centimeter). By consulting Appendix C, with My = 0.3937 in./cm, Ay = 0, Mx = I, and Ax = 0, we can calculate that if a regression analysis were run on these data, where X was recorded in inches, the slope would be [b] = (0.270 cm/day)(O.3937 in./cm) = 0.106 in.zday: the Y intercept would be [a] = (0.715 cm)(0.3937 in./cm) = 0.281 in.: and the standard error of estimate would be Sy·x = (0.3937 in./cm)(0.218 cm) = 0.086. A situation employing coding by both adding a constant and multiplying a constant is when we have temperature measurements in degrees Celsius (or Fahrenheit) and wish to determine the regression equation that would have resulted had the data been recorded in degrees Fahrenheit (or Celsius). The appropriate coding constants for use in Appendix C are determined by knowing that Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures are related as follows: degrees

A regression equation may be calculated for each of two or more samples of data to compare the regression relationships in the populations from which the samples came. We may ask whether the slopes of the regression lines arc significantly different (as opposed to whether they may he estimating the same population slope, (3). Then, if it is concluded that the slopes of the lines are not significantly different. we may want to test whether the several sets of data are from populations in which the population Y intercepts, as well as the slopes, are the same. In this chapter, procedures for testing differences among regression lines will be presented, as summarized in Figure 18.1. 18.1 COMPARING TWO SLOPES

l

The comparison of the slopes of two regression lines is demonstrated in Example 1H.l. The regression relationship to he studied is the amount of water lost by salamanders maintained at various environmental temperatures. Using the methods of Section 17.2 or 17.7, a regression line is determined using data from each of two species of salamanders. The regression line for 26 animals of species I is 10.57 + 2.97X, and that for 30 animals of species 2 is 24.91 + 2.17 X; these two regression lines are shown in Figure IH.2. Temperature, the independent variable (X), is measured in degrees Celsius, and the dependent varia hie (Y) is measured in microliters (J.LI) of water per gram of body weight per hour. Example 18.1 shows the calculations of the slope of each of the two regression lines. In this example, the slope of the line expresses water loss. in J.Ll/g/hr. for each temperature increase of L'C. The raw data (the 26 X and Y data for species I and the 30 pairs of data for species 2) are not shown. hut the sums of squares (2:x2 and 2:i) and sum of crossproducts (LXY) for each line are given in this example. (The calculation of the Y intercepts is not shown.) As shown is Example 18.1, a simple method for testing hypotheses about equality of two population regression coefficients involves the use of Student's t in a fashion analogous to that of testing for differences between two population means (Section 8.1).

However, if a computer program is not used, the preceding t test generally involves less computational effort. (a) Power and Sample Size in Comparing Regressions. In Section 17.8 it was explained that the procedure for consideration of power in correlation analysis (Section 19.4) could be used to estimate power and sample size in a regression analysis. Section 19.6 presents power and sample-size estimation when testing for difference between two correlation coefficients. Unfortunately, utilization of that procedure for comparing two regression coefficients is not valid-unless one has the 2 rare case of (Lx = (Lx2)2 and = (Ll)2 (Cohen, 1988: 110).

COMPARING TWO ELEVATIONS

If He: f31 = f32 is rejected, we conclude that two different populations of data have been sampled. However, if two population regression lines are not concluded to have different slopes (i.e., Ho: f31 = f32 is not rejected), then the two lines are assumed to be parallel. In the latter case, we often wish to determine whether the two population regressions have the same elevation (i.e., the same vertical position on a graph) and thus coincide. To test the null hypothesis that the elevations of the two population regression lines are the same, the following quantities may be used in a t test, as shown in Example 18.2: sum of squares of X for common regression (18.12) sum of crossproducts

for common regression (18.13)

sum of squares of Y for common regression (18.14) residual SS for common regression (18.15)

and the relevant critical value of t is that for v = OF(" Example 18.2 and Figure 18.3 consider the regression of human systolic blood pressure on age for men over 40 years old. A regression equation was fitted for data for men in each of two different occupations. The two-tailed null hypothesis is that in the two sampled populations the regression elevations are the same. This also says that blood pressure is the same in both groups, after accounting for the effect of age. In the example, the Ho of equal elevations is rejected, so we conclude that men in these two occupations do not have the same blood pressure. As an alternative to this t-testing procedure, the analysis of covariance of Section 18.4 may be used to test this hypothesis, but it generally requires more computational effort unless a computer package is used.

If it is concluded that two population regressions do not have different slopes but do have different elevations, then the slopes computed from the two samples are both estimates of the common population regression coefficient, and the Y intercepts of the two samples are (18.19) and (18.19a) and the two regression equations may be written as (18.20) and (18.20a)

For data such as those in Example 18.2 and Figure 18.3, it might have been the case that one occupation was considered to be more stressful, and we may want to determine whether men in that occupation had higher blood pressure than men in the other occupation. ....••

This t test of elevations is preferable to testing for difference between the two population Y intercepts. Difference between Y intercepts would be tested with the null hypothesis Ho : al = a2, using the sample statistics al and a2, and could proceed with t = al - a2

(the latter two equations are a special case of Equations 18.27 and 18.28). However, a test for difference between Y intercepts is generally not as advisable as a test for difference between elevations because it uses a point on each line that may lie far from the observed range of X's. There are many regressions for which the Y intercept has no importance beyond helping to define the line and in fact may be a sample statistic prone to misleading interpretation. In Figure 18.3, for example, discussion of the Y intercepts (and testing hypotheses about them) would require a risky extrapolation of the regression lines far below the range of X for which data were obtained. This would assume that the linear relationship that was determined for ages above 40 years also holds between X = 0 and X = 40 years, a seriously incorrect assumption in the present case dealing with blood pressures. Also, because the Y intercepts are so far from the mean values of X, their standard errors would be very large, and a test of He: al = a2 would lack statistical power. COMPARING POINTS ON TWO REGRESSION LINES

If the slopes of two regression lines and the elevations of the two lines have not been concluded to be different, then the two lines are estimates of the same population regression line. If the slopes of two lines are not concluded to be different, but their elevations are declared different, the~ the population lines are assumed to be parallel, and for a given Xi, the corresponding Yi on one line is different from that on the other line. If the slopes of two population regression lines are concluded different, then the lin~s are intersecting rather than para!leJ. In such cases we may wish to test whether a Y on one line is the same as the Y on the second line at a particular X. For a two-tailed test, we can state the null hypothesis as Ho: fLy\ = fLY2 and the alternate as HA: fLy\ i:- fLy2' The test statistic is ~ t

One-tailed testing is also possible. However, it should be applied with caution, as it assumes that each of the two predicted Y's has associated with it the same variance. Therefore, the test works best when the two lines have the same X, the same ~x2, and the same n. 18.4

COMPARING MORE THAN TWO SLOPES If the slopes of more than two regression equations are to be compared, the null hypothesis Ho: 131 = 132 = ... = 13k may be tested, where k is the number of regressions. The alternate hypothesis would be that, in the k sampled populations, all k slopes are not the same. These hypotheses are analogous to those used in testing whether the means are the same in k samples (Chapter 10). The hypothesis about equality of regression slopes may be tested by a procedure known as analysis of covariance (which was introduced in Section 12.10). Analysis of covariance (AN COY A) encompasses a large body of statistical methods, and various kinds of A COY A are presented in many comprehensive texts, including some of the books cited in the introduction of Chapter 16. The following version of analysis of covariance suffices to test for the equality (sometimes called homogeneity) of regression coefficients (i.e., slopes). Just as an analysis of variance for H«: ILl = IL2 = ... = ILk assumes that all k population variances are equal

The basic calculations necessary to compare k regression lines require quantities already computed: L x2, L xy, L y2 (i.e., total SS), and the residual SS and DF for each computed line (Table 18.1). The values of the k residual sums of squares may then be summed, yielding what we shaIl caIl the pooled residual sum of squares, SSp; and the sum of the k residual degrees of freedom is the pooled residual degrees of freedom, DFp. The values OfLX2, LXY, and Ll for the k regressions may each be summed, and from these sums a residual sum of squares may be calculated. The latter quantity will be termed the common residual sum of squares, SSe. TABLE 18.1: Calculations

.5 COMPARING MORE THAN TWO ELEVATIONS

Consider the case where it has been concluded that all k population slopes underlying our k samples of data are equal (i.e., Ho: 131 = 132 = ... = 13k is not rejected). In this situation, it is reasonable to ask whether all k population regressions are, in fact, identical; that is, whether they have equal elevations as well as slopes, and thus the lines all coincide. The null hypothesis of equality of elevations may be tested by a continuation of the analysis of covariance considerations outlined in Section 18.4. We can combine the data from all k samples and from the summed data compute ~ x2, ~ xy, ~ a residual sum of squares, and residual degrees of freedom; the latter will be called the total residual sum of squares (SSt) and total residual degrees of freedom (OFt). (See Table 18.1.) The null hypothesis of equal elevations is tested with

l,

SSt - SSe k - 1

F=

SSe

(18.31 )

OFe with k - 1 and OFc degrees of freedom. An example of this procedure is offered in Example 18.4. If the null hypothesis is rejected, we can then employ multiple comparisons to determine the location of significant differences among the elevations, as described in Section 18.6. If it is not rejected, then all k sample regressions are estimates of the same population regression, and the best estimate of that underlying population regression is given by Equation 18.24 using Equations 18.9 and 18.21. .6 MULTIPLE COMPARISONS

AMONG

SLOPES

If an analysis of covariance concludes that k population slopes are not all equal, we may employ a multiple-comparison procedure (Chapter 11) to determine which f3's are different from which -others, For example, the Tukey test (Section 11.1) may be employed to test for differences between each pair of 13 values, by Ho: 138 = f3A and HA: f3B =F f3A, where A and B represent two of the k regression lines.

The degrees of freedom for determining the critical value of q are the pooled residual DF (i.e., DFp in Table 18.1). Although it is not mandatory to have first performed the analysis of covariance before applying the multiple-comparison test, such a procedure is commonly followed. The confidence interval for the difference between the slopes of population regressions A and B is (18.35) where qa.lf.k is from Appendix Table 18.1).

If the null hypothesis H« : 131 = 132 = ... = 13k has not been rejected and the null hypothesis of all k elevations being equal has been rejected, then multiple-comparison procedures may be applied (see Chapter 11) to conclude between which elevations there are differences in the populations sampled.

Occasionally, when the above null hypothesis is rejected it is desired to ask whether points on the several regression lines differ at a specific value of X. This can be done, as a multisample extensio? of Section 18.3, by modifying Equations 18.27 and 18.28. For each line the value of Y is computed at the specified X, as

If this F is not significant, then all k sample regressions are concluded to estimate the same population regression, and the best estimate of that population regression is that given by Equation 18.24. Some statistical workers prefer this test to those of the preceding sections in this chapter. However, if the null hypothesis is rejected, it is still necessary to employ the procedures of the previous sections if we wish to determine whether the differences among the regressions are due to differences among slopes or among elevations.

19.12 INTRAClASS CORRELATION 19.13 CONCORDANCE CORRELATION 19.14 THE EFFECT OF CODING

Chapter 17 introduced simple linear regression, the linear dependence of one variable (termed the dependent variable, Y) on a second variable (called the independent variable, X). In simple linear correlation, we also consider the linear relationship between two variables. but neither is assumed to be functionally dependent upon the other. An example of a correlation situation is the relationship between the wing length and tail length of a particular species of bird. Section 17.1 discussed the difference between regression and correlation. Recall that the adjective simple refers to there being only two variables considered simultaneously. Chapter 20 discusses correlation involving more than two variables. Coefficients of correlation are sometimes referred to as coefficients of association.

19.1 THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT

Some authors refer to the two variables in a simple correlation analysis as XI and X2. Here we employ the more common designation of X and y, which does not. however, imply dependence of Y on X as it does in regression; nor does it imply a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. Indeed, correlation analysis yields the same results regardless of which variable is labeled X and which is Y. The correlation coefficient (sometimes called the simple correlation coefficient.* indicating that the relationship of only two variables is being examined) is "It is also called the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient because of the algebraic expression of the coefficient. and the pioneering work on it, by Karl Pearson (I X57 -1936). who in I X96 was the lirst to refer to this measure as a correlation coefficient (David, 1995: Seal. 1967). This followed the major elucidation of the concept of correlation by Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911,

The symbol r can be traced to Galton's I X77-18X8 discussion of regression in heredity studies (he later used r to indicate the slope of a regression line), and Galton developed correlation from regression. Indeed, in the early history of correlation, correlation coefficients were called Galton functions. The basic concepts of correlation, however, predated Galton's and Pearson's work by several decades (Pearson, 1920; Rodgers and Nicewander, 1988; Stigler, 1989; Walker, 1929: 92-102, 106, 109-110. 187).

less than -1.0. Inspection of this equation further will reveal also that r has no units of measurement, for the units of both X and Y appear in both the numerator and denominator and thus cancel out arithmetically. A regression coefficient, b, may lie in the range of -00 :s b :s 00, and it expresses the magnitude of a change in Yassociated with a unit change in X. But a correlation coefficient is unitless and -1 :s r :s 1. The correlation coefficient is not a measure of quantitative change of one variable with respect to the other, but it is a measure of strength of association between the two variables. That is, a large value of I r I indicates a strong association between X and Y. The coefficient of determination, r2, was introduced in Section 17.3 as a measure of how much of the total variability in Y is accounted for by regressing Yon X. In a correlation analysis, r2 (occasionally called the correlation index) may be calculated simply by squaring the correlation coefficient, r. It may be described as the amount of variability in one of the variables (either Y or X) accounted for by correlating that variable with the second variable.* As in regression analysis, r2 may be considered to be a measure of the strength of the straight-line relationship." The calculation of rand r2 is demonstrated in Example 19.1a. Either r or r2 can be used to express the strength of the relationship between the two variables. * As in Section 17.3a, 1 - ,2 may be referred to as the coefficient of nondetermination. A term found in older literature is coefficient of alienation: ~,given by Galton in 1889 and named by T. L. Kelley in 1919 (Walker, 1929: 175). t Ozer (1985) argued that there are circumstances where Irl is a better coefficient of determination than ,.2.

Hypotheses about the Correlation Coefficient

For convenience, we may utilize Appendix Table B.18 to avoid having to perform the computation of Equation 19.8 to transform r to z." For the hypothesis H«: P = PO, then we calculate a normal deviate, as 2

(Fisher, 1925b: 162), an approximation that improves as n increases. TnExample 19.1a, r = 0.870 was calculated. If we had desired to test Ho: p = 0.750, we would have proceeded as shown in Example 19.2. Recall that the critical value of a normal deviate may be obtained readily from the bottom line of the t table (Appendix Table B.3), because 20'(2) = (a(2).00' EXAMPLE 19.2 r

Sometimes only one of the two variables may be assumed to have been obtained randomly from a normal population. It may be possible to employ a data transformation (see Section 17.10) to remedy this situation. If that cannot be done, then the hypothesis Ho: P = 0 (or its associated one-tailed hypotheses) may be tested, but none of the other testing procedures of this chapter (except for the * As noted at the end of Section 19.7, there is a slight and correctable small, however, this correction will be insignificant and may be ignored.

respectively, where Fa = Fa(2),II,II and v = n - 2 (Muddapur, 1988).* This is shown in Example 19.3. Fisher's transformation may be used to approximate these confidence limits, although the confidence interval will generally be larger than that from the foregoing procedure, and the confidence coefficient may occasionally (and undesirably) be less than 1 - a (Jeyaratnam, 1992). By this procedure, we convert r to z (using Equation 9.8 or Appendix Table B.18); then the 1 a confidence limits may be computed for (19.16)

r

or, equivalently, (19.17) The lower and upper confidence limits, L, and L2, are both z values and may be transformed to r values, using Appendix Table B.19 or Equation 19.9. Example 19.3 demonstrates this procedure. Note that although the confidence limits for ~ are symmetrical, the confidence limits for p are not. 19.4

POWER AND SAMPLE SIZE IN CORRELATION

(a) Power in Correlation. If we test He: p = 0 at the a significance level, with a sample size of n, then we may estimate the probability of correctly rejecting Ho when PO is in fact a specified value other than zero. This is done by using the Fisher z transformation for the critical value of r and for the sample r (from Appendix Table B.18 or Equation 19.8); let us call these two transformed values Za and z, respectively. Then, the power of the test for Ho: P = 0 is 1 f3( 1 ), where f3( 1) is the one-tailed probability of the normal deviate Z{3(I)

We desire to reject Ho: P = a 99% of the time when Ipi 2: 0.5 and the hypothesis is tested at the 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, f3( 1) = 0.01 and (from the last line of Appendix Table B.3) and Z{3(l) = 2.3263; 0'(2) = 0.05 and Z,,(2) = 1.9600; and, for r = 0.5, Z = 0.5493.

instead of from Equation 19.18; here, zo is the Fisher transformation of PO. One-tailed hypotheses may be addressed using a( 1) in place of 0'(2) in Equation 19.20. (d) Sample Size for Confidence Limits. After we calculate a sample correlation coefficient, r, as an estimate of a population correlation coefficient, p, we can estimate how large a sample would be needed from this population to determine a confidence interval for p that is no greater than a specified size. The confidence limits in Example 19.5b, determined from a sample of n = 12, define a confidence interval having a width of 0.963 - 0.592 = 0.371. We could ask how large a sample from this population would be needed to state a confidence interval no wider than 0.30. As shown in Example 19.5b, this sample size may be estimated by the iterative process (introduced in Section 7.7a) of applying Equations 19.12 and 19.13. Because the desired size of the confidence interval (0.30) is smaller than the confidence-interval width obtained from the sample of size 12 in Example 19.3 (0.371), we know that a sample larger than 12 would be needed. Example 19.5b shows the confidence interval calculated for n = 15 (0.31), which is a little larger than desired; a confidence interval is calculated for n = 16, which is found to be the size desired (0.30). If the same process is used for determining the sample size needed to obtain a confidence interval no larger than 0.20, it is estimated that n would have to be at least 30.

Hypotheses (either one-tailed or two-tailed) about two correlation be tested by the use of

nl = n i-

then Equation 19.22 reduces to (T Z I - Z2

= ) n : 3'

(19.23)

where n is the size of each sample. The use of the Fisher z transformation both normalizes the underlying distribution of each of the correlation coefficients, '1 and r2, and stabilizes the variances of these distributions (Winterbottom, 1979). The multisample hypothesis test recommended by Paul (1988), and presented in Section 19.7, may be used for the two-tailed two-sample hypothesis mentioned previously. It tends to result in a probability of Type I error that is closer to the specified a; but, as it also tends to be larger than 0', I do not recommend it for the two-sample casco The preferred procedure for testing the two-tailed hypotheses, Ho: PI = P2 versus HA: PI = P2, is to employ Equation 19.21, as shown in Example 19.6.* One-tailed hypotheses may be tested using one-tailed critical values, namely Za( I). *A IZI -

null hypothesis such as 110: PI - P2 = PO, where Po # 0, might be tested hy substituting (0 for the numerator in Equation 19.21, but no utility for such a test is apparent.

Occasionally we want to test for equality of two correlation coefficients that are not independent. For example, if Sample 1 in Example 19.6 were data from a group of 98 young birds, and Sample 2 were from 95 of these birds when they were older (three of the original birds having died or escaped), the two sets of data should not be considered to be independent. Procedures for computing rl and ri- taking dependence into account. are reviewed by Steiger (1980). (a) Common Correlation Coefficient. As in Example 19.6, a conclusion that PI = P2 would lead us to say that both of our samples came from the same population of data, or from two populations with identical correlation coefficients. In such a case, we may combine the information from the two samples to calculate a better estimate of a single underlying p. Let us call this estimate the common, or weighted, correlation coefficient. We obtain it by converting

The test for difference between correlation coefficients is most powerful for = rn, and the proceding estimation is for a sample size of n in both samples. Sometimes the size of one sample is fixed and cannot be manipulated, and we then ask how large the second sample must be to achieve the desired power.

If Ho: PI = P2 = '" = Pk is not rejected, then all samples might be combined and one value of r calculated to estimate the single population p.

If correlations are not independent, then they may be compared as described by Steiger (1980). (b) Overcoming Bias. Fisher (1958: 205) and Hotelling (1953) have pointed out that the z transformation is slightly biased, in that each z will be a little inflated. This minor systematic error is likely to have only negligible effects on our previous considerations, but it is inclined to have adverse effects on the testing of multisample hypotheses, for in the latter situations several values of z.. and therefore several small errors, are being summed. Such a hypothesis test and the estimation of a common correlation coefficient are most improved by correcting for bias when sample sizes are small or there are many samples in the analysis. Several corrections for bias are available. Fisher recommended subtracting r

2(n - 1) from z, whereas Hotelling determined as subtracting

a test that performs better than one employing

(19.35) with k - 1 degrees of freedom. Example 19.10 demonstrates this test. If the multisample null hypothesis is not rejected, then p, the underlying population correlation coefficient, may be estimated by calculating Zw via Equation 19.32 and converting it to rw. As an improvement, Paul (1988) determined that n, - 1 should be used in place of n, - 3 in the latter equation if P is less than about 0.5. Similarly, to compare P to a specified value, PO, ru - 1 would be used instead of n, - 3 in Equation 19.34 if P is less than about 0.5.

MULTIPLE COMPARISONS AMONG CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS If the null hypothesis of the previous section (Ho: PI = P2 = ... = pd is rejected, it is typically of interest to determine which of the k correlation coefficients are different from which others. This can be done, again using Fisher's z transformation (Levy, 1976). In the fashion of Section 11.1 (where multiple comparisons were made among means), we can test each pair of correlation coefficients, re and rA, by a Tukey-type test, if ne = nil: q

RANK CORRELATION

If we have data obtained from a bivariate population that is far from normal, then the correlation procedures discussed thus far are generally inapplicable. Instead, we may operate with the ranks of the measurements for each variable. Two different rank correlation methods are commonly encountered, that proposed by Spearman (1904) and that of Kendall' (1938). And, these procedures are also applicable if the data are ordinal. Example 19.12 demonstrates Spearman's rank correlation procedure. After each measurement of a variable is ranked, as done in previously described nonparametric testing procedures, Equation 19.1 can be applied to the ranks to obtain the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, rs.

If n ;:::10 and z transformation may be used for Spearman coefficients, just as it was in Sections 19.2 through 19.6, for testing several additional kinds of hypotheses (including multiple comparisons), estimating power and sample size, and setting confidence limits around Ps. But in doing so it is recommended that 1.060j(n - 3) be used instead of lj(n - 3) in the variance of z (Fieller, Hartley, and Pearson, 1957, 1961). That is, Ps :s 0.9, then the Fisher

(c) The Kendall Rank Correlation Coefficient. In addition to some rarely encountered rank-correlation procedures (e.g., see Kruskal, 1958), the Kendall *In this discussion, r,1 will be referred to as an unbiased estimate of a population correlation coefficient, PI', although that is not strictly true (Daniel, 1990: 365; Gibbons and Chakraborti, 2003: 432; Kruskall, 1958), i"Zimmerman (l994b) presented a rank-correlation procedure that he asserted is slightly more powerful than the Spearman r,1 method. Martin Andres, Herranz Tejedor, and Silva Mato (1995) showed a relationship between the Spearman rank correlation and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test of Section 8.11. The Spearman statistic is related to the coefficient of concordance, W (Section 19.13), for two groups of ranks: W = (rs

rank-correlation method is often used* (see, e.g., Daniel, 1990: 365-381; Kend and Gibbons. 1938. 1990: 3-8; Siegel and Castellan, 1988: 245-254). The sampl Kendall correlation coefficient is commonly designated as T (lowercase Greek tau, an exceptional use of a Greek letter to denote a sample statistic)." The correlation statistic T for a set of paired X and Y data is a measure of the extent to which the order of the X's differs from the order of the Y's. Its calculation will not be shown here, but this coefficient may be determined-with identical results-either from the data or from the ranks of the data. For example, these six ranks of X's and six ranks of V's are in exactly the same order: X: Y:

1 1

2

3

4

5

6

2 3 4 5 6

and T would be calculated to be 1, just as rs would be 1, for there is perfect agreement of the orders of the ranks of X's and V's. However, the following Y ranks are in the reverse sequence of the X ranks: X:

1

2

3

Y:

and T would be - 1,just as r~ would be. for there is an exact reversal of the relationship between the X's and Y's. And. just as with r., T will be closer to zero the further the X and Y ranks are from either perfect agreement or an exact reversal of agreement; but the values of T and r\ will not be the same except when T = - 1 or 1. The performances of the Spearman and Kendall coefficients for hypothesis testing are very similar, but the former may be a little better, especially when n is large (Chow. Miller, and Dickinson. 1974). and for a large n the Spearman measure is also easier to calculate than the Kendall. Jolliffe (1981) describes the use of the runs-up-and-down test of Section 25.8 to perform nonparametric correlation testing in situations where rs and T are ineffective. 19.10

WEIGHTED RANK CORRELATION

The rank correlation of Section 19.9 gives equal emphasis to each pair of data. There are instances, however, when our interest is predominantly in whether there is correlation among the largest (or smallest) ranks in the two populations. In such cases we should prefer a procedure that will give stronger weight to intersample agreement on which items have the smallest (or largest) ranks, and Quade and Salama (1992) refer to such a method as weighted rank correlation (a concept they introduced in Salama and Quade, 1982). In Example 19.14, a study has determined the relative importance of eight ecological factors (e.g., aspects of temperature and humidity, diversity of ground cover, abundance of each of several food sources) in the success of a particular species of bird in a particular habitat. A similar study ranked the same ecological factors for a second species in that habitat, and the desire is to ask whether the same ecological factors arc most important for both species. We want to ask whether there is a positive correlation between the factors most important to one species and the factors most important to the other species. Therefore, a one-tailed weighted correlation analysis is called for. "The idea of this correlation measure was presented as early as IR99 in a posthumous publication of the German philosopher. physicist. and psychologist Gustav Theodor Fechner (lHOl-ISH7) (KruskaL 19SH). :'It is much less frequently designated as T. t, ri, or T.

< P < 0.01

A correlation analysis performed on the pairs of ranks would result in a Spearman rank correlation coefficient of rs = 0.548, which is not significantly different from zero. (The one-tailed probability is 0.05 < P < 0.10.) Iman (1987) and 1man and Conover (1987) propose weighting the ranks by replacing them with the sums of reciprocals known as Savage scores (Savage, 1956). For a given sample size. n, the ith Savage score is

Thus, for example, if n = 4, then SI = 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 2.083,S2 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 1.083,S3 = 1/3 + 1/4 = 0.583, and S4 = 1/4 = 0.250. A check on arithmetic is that 2:.7=1S, = n; for this example, n = 4 and 2.083 + 1.083 + 0.583 + 0.250 = 3.999. Table 19.1 gives Savage scores for n of 3 through 20. Scores for larger n are readily computed; but. as rounding errors will be compounded in the summation, it is wise to employ extra decimal places in such calculations. If there are tied ranks, then we may use the mean of the Savage scores for the positions of the tied data. For example. if n = 4 and ranks 2 and 3 are tied. then use (1.083 + 0.583 )/2 = 0.833 for both S2 and S3.

The top-down correlation coefficient, r j , is 1.0 when there is perfect agreement among the ranks of the two sets of data. If the ranks arc completely opposite in the two samples, then rr = -1.0 only if n = 2; it approaches -0.645 as n increases. If we wished to perform a test that was especially sensitive to agreement at the bottom, instead of the top, of the list of ranks, then the foregoing procedure would be performed by assigning the larger Savage scores to the larger ranks. If there are more than two groups of ranks. then see the procedure at the end of Section 20.16. CORRELATION WITH NOMINAL-SCALE

DATA

(a) Both Variables Are Dichotomous. Dichotomous normal-scale data are data recorded in two nominal categories (e.g., observations might be recorded as male or female, dead or alive, with or without thorns), and Chapters 23 and 24 contain discussions of several aspects of the analysis of such data. Data collected for a dichotomous variable may be presented in the form of a table with two rows and two columns (a "2 X 2 contingency table"; see Section 23.3). The data of Example 19.15, for instance, may be cast into a 2 X 2 table, as shown. We shall set up such tables by havingf andf22 be the frequencies of agreement between the two variables (where hi is the frequency in row i and column j). Many measures of association of two dichotomous variables have been suggested (e.g., Conover, 1999: Section 4.4: Everitt, 1992: Section 3.6; Gibbons and Chakraborti, 2003: Section 14.3).

* Procedures other than the use of Savage scores may be used to assign differential weights to the ranks to be analyzed; some give more emphasis to the lower ranks and some give less (Quade and Salama. 1l)l)2). Savage scores are recommended as an intermediate strategy. ;-A term coined by Karl Pearson (Walker. 1l)5R).

employ the X2 statistic of Section 23.3. However, they have drawbacks, among them the lack of the desirable property of ranging between and 1. [They are indeed zero when X2 = (i.e., when there is no association between the two variables), but the coefficients can never reach 1, even if there is complete agreement between the two varia bles.] The Cramer, or phi, coefficient" (Cramer, 1946: 44),

does range from to 1 (as does cf>2, which may also be used as a measure of associationj." It is based upon X2 (uncorrected for continuity), as obtained from Equation 23.1, or, more readily, from Equation 23.6. Therefore, we can write (19.59) where K is the sum of the frequencies in row i and Cj is the sum of column j. This measure is preferable to Equation 19.58 because it can range from - 1 to + 1, thus expressing not only the strength of an association between variables but also the direction of the association (as does r). If cf> = 1, all the data in the contingency table lie in the upper left and lower right cells (i.e.,/12 = 121 = 0). In Example 19.15 this would mean there was complete agreement between the presence of both the disease and the insect; either both were always present or both were always absent. If III = [n = 0, all the data lie in the upper right and lower left cells of the contingency table, and cf> = -1. The measure cf> may also be considered as a correlation coefficient, for it is equivalent to the r that would be calculated by assigning a numerical value to members of one category of each variable and another numerical value to members of the second category. For example, if we replace each" +" with 0, and each" -" with 1, in Example 19.15, we would obtain (by Equation 19.1) r = 0.55.+ *Harald Cramer (1893-1985) was a distinguished Swedish mathematician (Leadbetter, 1988). This measure is commonly symbolized by the lowercase Greek phi 4>-pronounced "fy" as in "simplifyt= and is a sample statistic, not a population parameter as a Greek letter typically designates. (It should, of course, not be confused with the quantity used in estimating the power of a statistical test, which is discussed elsewhere in this book.) This measure is what Karl Pearson called "mean square contingency" (Walker, 1929: 133).

The statistic cp is also preferred over the previous coefficients of this section beca it is amenable to hypothesis testing. The significance of cp (i.e., whether it indicat that an association exists in the sampled population) can be assessed by consideri the significance of the contingency table. If the frequencies are sufficiently large ( Section 23.6), the significance of X~ (chi-square with the correction for continuity may be determined. The variance of cp is given by Kendall and Stuart (1979: 572). The Yule coefficient of association (Yule 1900, 1912),*

variance of Q is given by Kendall and Stuart (1979: 571). A better measure is that of lves and Gibbons (1967). It may be expressed as a correlation coefficient, rn

=

(19.61)

(.fll + 122) + (.f12 + hd of positive and negative values of rn (which can range from -1 to

The interpretation + 1) is just as for cp. The expression of significance of rn involves statistical testing which will be described in Chapter 24. The binomial test (Section 24.5) may be utilized, with a null hypothesis of He: p = 0.5, using cases of perfect agreement and cases of disagreement as the two categories. Alternatively, the sign test (Section 24.6), the Fisher exact test (Section 24.16), or the chi-square contingency test (Section 23.3) could be applied to the data. Tetrachoic correlation is a situation where each of two nominal-scale variables has two categories because of an artificial dichotomy (Glass and Hopkins, 1996: 136-137; Howell, 2007: 284-285; Sheskin, 2004: 997-1000).; For example, data might be collected to ask whether there is a correlation between the height of children, recorded as "tall" or "short," and their performance on an intelligence test, recorded as "high" or "low." Underlying each of these two dichotomous variables is a spectrum of measurements, and observations are placed in the categories by an arbitrary definition of tall, short, high, and low. (If there are more than two categories of one or both variables, the term polychoric correlation may be used.) Therefore, the categories of X and the categories of Y may be considered to represent ordinal scales of measurement. The tetrachoic correlation coefficient, r, is an estimate of what the correlation coefficient, r, of Section 9.1 would be if the continuous data (ratio-scale or intervalscale) were known for the underlying distributions; it ranges from -1 to 1. It is rarely encountered, largely because it is a very poor estimate (it has a large standard error and is adversely affected by non normality). The calculation of r., and its use in hypothesis testing, is discussed by Sheskin (2004: 998-1000). (b) One Variable Is Dichotomous. Point-biserial correlation is the term used for a correlation between Y, a variable measured on a continuous scale (i.e., a ratio or *Q is one of several measures of association discussed by British statistician George Udny Yule (1871-1951). He called it Q in honor of Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet (1796-1874), a pioneering Belgian statistician and astronomer who was a member of more than 100 learned societies, including the American Statistical Association (of which he was the first foreign member elected after its formation in 1839); Quetelet worked on measures of association as early as 1832 (Walker, 1929: 130-131). tThis coefficient was developed by Karl Pearson (1901).

interval scale, not an ordinal scale), and X, a variable recorded in two nominal-scale categories. * Although this type of correlation analysis has been employed largely in the behavioral sciences (e.g., Glass and Hopkins, 1996: 364-365, 368-369; Howell, 1997: 279-283,2007: 277-281; Sheskin, 2004: 990-993), it can also have application with biological data. If it is Y, instead of X, that has two nominal-scale categories, then logistic regression (Section 24.18) may be considered. Example 19.16 utilizes point-biserial correlation to express the degree to which the blood-clotting time in humans is related to the type of drug that has been administered. In this example, the data of Example 8.1 are tabulated denoting the use of one drug (drug B) by an X of 0 and the use of the other drug (drug G) by an X of l. The dichotomy may be recorded by any two numbers, with identical results, but employing 0 and 1 provides the simplest computation. Then a point-biserial correlation coefficient, Fpb, is calculated by applying Equation 19.1 or, equivalently, Equation 19.2 to the pairs of X and Y data. The sign of Fpb depends upon which category of X is designated as 0; in Example 19.16, rpb is positive, but it would have been negative if drug B had been recorded as 1 and drug Gas O. The coefficient rpb can range from -1 to 1, and it is zero when the means of the two groups of Y's are the same (i.e., Y I = Yo; see the next paragraph). A computation with equivalent results is

where Yo is the mean of all no of the Y data associated with X = 0, YI is the mean of the n I Y data associated with X = 1, N = no + n I, and Sy is the standard deviation of all N values of y.t By substituting rph for rand N for n, Equations 19.3 and 19.4 may be used for a point-biserial correlation coefficient, and hypothesis testing may proceed as in Section 19.2. Hypothesis testing involving the population point-biserial correlation coefficient, Pph, yields the same results as testing for the difference between two population means (Section 8.1). If an analysis of this kind of data has been done by a t test on sample means, as in Example 8.1, then determination of the point-biserial correlation coefficient may be accomplished by

If variable X consists of more than two nominal-scale categories and Y is a continuous variable, then the expression of association between Y and X may be called a point-polyserial correlation (Olsson, Orasgow, and Oorans, 1982), a rarely encountered analytical situation not discussed here. Biserial correlation involves a variable (Y) measured on a continuous scale and differs from point-biserial correlation in the nature of nominal-scale variable X (Glass and Hopkins, 1996: 134-136; Howell, 1997: 286-288,2007: 284-285; Sheskin, 2004: 995-997). In this type of correlation, the nominal-scale categories are artificial. For "This procedure was presented and named by Karl Pearson in 1901 (Glass and Hopkins. 1996: 133). -t Although this is a correlation, not a regression, situation, it can be noted that a regression line (calculated via Section 17.1) would run from Yo to Y I. and it would have a slope of Y I - Yo and a Y intercept of Yo.

example, mice in a diet experiment might be recorded as heavy or light in weight by declaring a particular weight as being the dividing point between "heavy" and "light" (and X behaves like an ordinal-scale variable). This correlation coefficient, rh, may be obtained by Equation 9.1 or 9.2, as is rpb, and will be larger than rph except that when rph is zero, rb is also zero. Because X represents an ordered measurement scale, X = 0 should be used for the smaller measurement (e.g., "light" in the previous example) and X = 1 for the larger measurement (e.g., "heavy') If there are more than two ranked categories of

Intraclass Correlation

X, the term polyserial correlation may be applied (Olsson, Drasgow, and Dorans, 1982). However, the calculated biserial correlation coefficient is adversely affected if the distribution underlying variable X is not normal; indeed, with nonnormality, Irbl can be much greater than 1. The correlation ri. is an estimate of the correlation coefficient of Section 9.1 that would have been obtained if X were the measurements from the underlying normal distribution. The calculation of, and hypothesis testing with, this coefficient is discussed by Sheskin (2004: 995-996). INTRAClASS CORRElATION

In some correlation situations it is not possible to designate one variable as X and one as Y. Consider the data in Example 19.17, where the intent is to determine whether there is a relationship between the weights of identical twins. Although the weight data clearly exist in pairs, the placement of a member in each pair in the first or in the second column is arbitrary, in contrast to the paired-sample testing of Section 9.1, where all the data in the first column have something in common and all the data in the second column have something in common. When pairs of data occur as in Example 19.17, we may employ intraclass correlation, a concept generally approached by analysis-of-variance considerations (specifically, Model II single-factor ANOV A (Section 10.1£). Aside from assuming random sampling from a bivariate normal distribution, this procedure also assumes that the population variances are equal. If we consider each of the pairs in our example as groups in an ANOV A (i.e., k = 7), with each group containing two observations (i.e., n = 2), then we may calculate mean squares to express variability both between and within the k groups (see Section 10.1). Then the intraclass correlation coefficient is defined as _ groups MS T]

(19.65)

a statistic associated with groups DF and error DF for the numerator and denominator, respectively.* If the measurements are equal within each group, then error MS = 0, and n = 1 (a perfect positive correlation). If there is more variability within groups than there is between groups, then rt will be negative. The smallest it may be, however, is - 1/ (n - 1); therefore, only if n = 2 (as in Example 19.17) can rt be as small as -1. We are not limited to pairs of data (i.e., situations where n = 2) to speak of intraclass correlation. Consider, for instance, expanding the considerations of Example 19.17 into a study of weight correspondence among triplets instead of twins. Indeed, n need not even be equal for all groups. We might, for example, ask whether there is a relationship among adult weights of brothers; here, some families might "If desired,

CONCORDANCE CORRELATION

If the intent of collecting pairs of data is to assess reproducibility or agreement of data sets, an effective technique is that which Lin (1989, 1992, 2000) refers to as concordance correlation. For example, the staff of an analytical laboratory might wish to know whether measurements of a particular substance are the same using two different instruments, or when performed by two different technicians. Tn Example 19.18, the concentration of lead was measured in eleven specimens of brain tissue, where each specimen was analyzed by two different atomic-absorption spectrophotometers. These data are presented in Figure 19.2. If the scales of the two axes are the same, then perfect reproducibility of assay would be manifested by the data falling on a 45° line intersecting the origin of the graph (the line as shown in Figure 19.2), and concordance correlation assesses how well the data follow that 45° line. The concordance correlation coefficient, r., is _ 2~xy re - -----=----~'-------=-

(19.76)

This coefficient can range from -1 to +1, and its absolute value cannot be greater than the Pearson correlation coefficient, r; so it can be stated that - 1 :::;- I r I :S rc:::; I r I :::; 1; and rc = 0 only if r = O. Hypothesis testing is not recommended with rc (Lin, 1992), but a confidence interval may be obtained for the population parameter Pc of which rc is an estimate. To do so, the Fisher transformation (Equation 19.8) is applied to rc to obtain a transformed value we shall call Zc; and the standard error of Zc is obtained as

Lin (1989) has shown that this method of assessing reproducibility is superior to comparison of coefficients of variation (Section 8.8), to the paired-t test (Section 9.1), to regression (Section 17.2), to Pearson correlation (Section 19.1), and to intrac1ass correlation (Section 19.12). And he has shown the foregoing hypothesis test to be robust with n as small as 10; however (Lin and Chinchilli, 1996), the two coefficients to be compared should have come from populations with similar ranges of data. Lin (1992) also discusses the sample-size requirement for this coefficient; and Barnhart, Haber, and Song (2002) expand concordance correlation to more than two sets of data. 14 THE EFFECT OF CODING Except for the procedures in Sections 19.11 and 19.12, coding of the raw data will have no effect on the correlation coefficients presented in this chapter, on their z transformations, or on any statistical procedures regarding those coefficients and transformations. See Appendix C for information about the use of coding in Sections 19.11 and 19.12. EXERCISES .1.

The previous three chapters discussed the analyses of regression and correlation relationships between two variables tsinuik: regression and correlation). This chapter will extend those kinds of analyses to regressions and correlations examining the intcrrclationships among three or more variables tmultiple regression and correlation). In multiple regression, one of the variables is considered to be functionally dependent upon at least one of the others. Multiple correlation is a situation when none of the variables is deemed to he dependent on another." The computations required for multiple-regression and multiple-correlation analyses would be very arduous. and in many cases prohibitive. without the computer capability that is widely available for this task. Therefore. the mathematical operations used to obtain regression and correlation coefficients. and to perform relevant hypothesis tests. will not he emphasized here. Section 20.1 summarizes the kinds of calculations that a computer program will typically perform and present. but that information is not necessary for understanding the statistical procedures discussed in the remainder of this chapter. including the interpretation of the results of the computer's work. Though uncommon. there are cases where the dependent varia hie is recorded on a nominal scale (not on a ratio or interval scale), most often a scale with two nominal categories (c.g .. male and female. infected and not infected. successful and unsuccessful). The analyses of this chapter arc not applicable for such data. Instead. a procedure known as logistic regression (Section 24.18) may he considered.

Multiple regression is a major topic in theoretical and applied statisncs; only an introduction is given here, and consultation with a statistical expert is often advisable.* 20.1

INTERMEDIATE

COMPUTATIONAL

STEPS

There are certain quantities that a computer program for multiple regression and/or correlation must calculate. Although we shall not concern ourselves with the mechanics of computation, intermediate steps in the calculating procedures are indicated here so the user will not be a complete stranger to them if they appear in the computer output. Among the many different programs available for multiple regres- . sion and correlation, some do not print all the following intermediate results, or they may do so only if the user specifically asks for them to appear in the output. Consider n observations of M variables (the variables being referred to as Xl through XM: (see Example 20.1a)). If one of the M variables is considered to be dependent upon the others, then we may eventually designate that variable as Y, but the program will perform most of its computations simply considering all M variables as X's numbered 1 through M. The sum of the observations of each of the M variables is calculated as 11

For simplicity, let us refrain from indexing the ~'s and assume that summations are always performed over all n sets of data. Thus, the sums of the variables could be denoted as (20.2) Sums of squares and sums of cross products are calculated just as for simple regression, or correlation, for each of the M variables. The following sums. often referred to as raw sums of squares and raw sums of cross products, may be presented in computer output in the form of a matrix, or two-dimensional array: ~Xf

The final major manipulation necessary before the important regression or correlation statistics of the following sections can be obtained is the computation of the inverse of a matrix. The process of inverting a matrix will not be explained here; it is to two-dimensional algebra what taking the reciprocal is to ordinary, onedimensional algebra.* While inverting a matrix of moderate size is too cumbersome to be performed easily by hand, it may be readily accomplished by computer. A "The plural of matrix is matrices. As a shorthand notation, statisticians may refer to an entire matrix by a boldface letter, and the inverse of the matrix by that letter's reciprocal.

or, equivalently, (20.10) From manipulations of these types of arrays, a computer program can derive the sample statistics and components of analysis of variance described in the following sections. If partial correlation coefficients are desired (Section 20.7), the matrix inversion takes place as shown. If partial regression analysis is desired (Sections 20.2-20.4), then inversion is performed only on the M - 1 rows and M - 1 columns corresponding to the independent variables in either Matrix 20.5 or 20.6. THE MULTIPLE-REGRESSION

EQUATION

Recall, from Section 17.2, that a simple linear regression for a population variables is the relationship Yi

= (\' +

f3Xi.

of paired (17.1)

In this relationship, Y and X represent the dependent and independent variables, respectively; f3 is the regression coefficient in the sampled population; and (\' (the Y intercept) is the predicted value of Y in the population when X is zero. And the subscript i in this equation indicates the ith pair of X and Y data in the sample. In some situations, however, Y may be considered dependent upon more than one variable. Thus, (20.11 ) 20.3,20.5, and 20.6 might be referred to by the symbols X, x, and r, respectively; and Matrices 20.7 and 20.R could be written, respectively, as c = x-I and d = r-I. David (2006) gives A. C. Aitken primary credit for introducing matrix algebra into statistics in 1931.

Here.: denotes the ith independent varia blc. and Xi; specifics the /t h obscrvat ion of variable i. In this particular multiple regression model. we have one dependent variable and two independent variables.' The two population parameters f31 and {32are termed portia! regression coejficients; {31 expresses how much Y would change for a unit change in XI, if X2 were held constant. It is sometimes said that {31 is a measure of the relationship of Y to XI after "controlling for" X2: that is. it is a measure of the extent to which Y is related to XI after removing the effect of X2. Similarly. {32describes the rate of change of Y as X2 changes. with XI being held constant. {31and {32are called partial regression coefficients. then. because each expresses only part of the dependence relationship. The Y intercept. a. is the value of Y when both XI and X2 are zero. Whereas Equation 17.1 mathematically represents a line (which may be presented on a two-dimensional graph), Equation 20.11 defines a plane (which may be plotted on a three-dimensional graph). ;\ regression with 171 independent variables defines an /11dimensional surface. sometimes referred to as a "response surface" or "hyperplane." The population data whose relationship is described by Equation 20.11 will probably not all lie exactly on a plane, so this equation may be expressed as (20.12)

the "residual." or "error." is the amount by which Y; differs from what is predicted by Cy + {3IXlj + {3?X2;. where the sum of all f'S is zero. the f's arc assumed to be normally distributed. and each partial regression coefficient. {3i. estimates the change of Y in the population when there is a change of one unit (c.g., a change of I centimeter.

XI. and X2) in Equation 20.11. we can compute sample statistics to estimate the population parameters in the model. The multiple-regression function derived from a sample of data would he fj.

Cohen ct al., 2D03: Section 0.2.3; Ryan. 1l)l)7: Sections 3.2.4 and 4.2.1). Coding. such as described in Appendix C. should be attempted with rounding-error in polynomial regression.

that will perform polynomial regression with the input of only Y and X data (with the program calculating the powers of X instead of the user having to submit them as computer input). The power, m, for fitting a polynomial to the data may be no greater than n - 1*; but m's larger than 4 or 5 are very seldom warranted. The appropriate maximum m may be determined in one of two ways. One is the backward-elimination multiple-regression procedure of Section 20.6b. This would involve beginning with the highest-order term (the term with the largest m) in which

* If In = n - 1, the curve will fit perfectly to the data (i.e., R2 = 1). For example, it can be observed that for two data (n = 2), a linear regression line (m = 1) will pass perfectly through the two data points; for n = 3, the quadratic curve from a second-order polynomial regression (m = 2) will fit perfectly through the three data points; and so on.

Section 21.1

we have any interest. But, except for occasional second- or third-order equations, this m is difficult to specify meaningfully before the analysis.

The other procedure, which is more commonly used, is that of f(~rward-selection multiple regression (Section 20.6c). A simple linear regression (Yi = a + bXi) is fit to the data as in Figure 21.1 a. Then a second-degree polynomial (known as a quadratic equation, "Vi = a + b i X, + b2X;) is fit, as shown in Figure 21.1b. The next step would be to fit a third-degree polynomial (called a cubic equation, = a + b, Xi + b2X; + b3XI), and the stepwise process of adding terms could continue beyond that. But at each step we ask whether adding the last term significantly improved the polynomial-regression equation. This "improvement" may be assessed by the t test for Ho: f3j = 0 (Section 20.4), where bj, the sample estimate of {3j, is the partial-regression coefficient in the last term added.* At each step of adding a term, rejection of H«: f3 = 0 for the last term added indicates that the term significantly improves the model; and it is recommended practice that, at each step, each previous (i.e., lower-order) term is retained even if its b is no longer significant. If the Ho is not rejected, then the final model might be expressed without the last term, as the equation assumed to appropriately describe the mathematical relationship between Y and X. But, as done in Example 21.1, some would advise carrying the analysis one or two terms beyond the point where the preceding Ho is not rejected, to reduce the possibility that significant terms are being neglected inadvertently. For example, it is possible to not reject Ho: f33 = 0, but by testing further to reject He: f34 = O. A polynomial regression may be fit through the origin using the considerations of Section 20.13. After arriving at a final equation in a polynomial regression analysis, it may be desired to predict values of Y at a given value of X. This can be done by the procedures of Section 20.8, by which the precision of a predicted Y (expressed by a standard error or confidence interval) may also be computed. Indeed, prediction is often the primary goal of a polynomial regression (see Section 20.15) and biological interpretation is generally difficult, especially for m > 2. It is very dangerous to extrapolate by predicting Y's beyond the range of the observed X's, and this is even more unwise than in the case of simple regression or other multiple regression. It should also be noted that use of polynomial regression can be problematic, especially for m larger than 2, because Xi is correlated with powers of Xi (i.e., with X;, and so on), so the analysis may be very adversely affected by multicollinearity (Section 20.4a). The concept of polynomial regression may be extended to the study of relationships of Y to more than one independent variable. For example, equations such as these may be analyzed by considering them to be multiple regt~ssions:

Yi

with a numerator OF of 1 and a denominator OF that is the residual OF for the m-degree model, and this gives results the same as from the t test.

In these examples, the term XI X2 represents interaction between the two independent variables. Because there is more than one independent variable, there is no clear sequence of adding one term at a time in a forward-selection procedure, and some other method (such as in Section 20.6e) would have to be employed to strive for the best set of terms to compose the multiple-regression model. QUADRATIC REGRESSION

The most common polynomial regression is the second-order,

or quadratic, regression: (21.5)

with three population parameters, 0', {31, and {32, to be estimated by three regression statistics, a, bi, and b2, respectively, in the quadratic equation (21.6) The geometric shape of the curve represented by Equation 21.6 is a parabola. An example of a quadratic regression line is shown in Figure 21.2. If bz is negative as shown in Figure 21.2, the parabola will be concave downward. If b: is positive (as shown in Figure 21.1 b), the curve will be concave upward. Therefore, one-tailed hypotheses may be desired: Rejection of Hi: {32 ::::: 0 would conclude a parabolic relationship in the population that is concave downward ({32 < 0), and rejecting H«: {32 :5 0 would indicate the curve is concave upward in the population ({32 > 0). (a) Maximum and Minimum Values of Vi. A common interest in polynomial regression analysis, especially where m = 2 (quadratic), is the determination of a maximum or minimum value of Yi (Bliss 1970: Section 14.4; Studier, Dapson, and Bigelow, 1975). A maximum value of Yi is defined as one that is greater than those Yi's that are close to it; and a minimum Yi is one that is less than the nearby Vi's. If, in a quadratic regression (Equation 21.6), the coefficient b2 is negative, then there will be a maximum, as shown in Figure 21.2. If b2 is positive, there will be a minimum (as is implied in Figure 21.1 b). It may be desired to determine what the maximum or minimum value of Yi is and what the corresponding value of Xi is. The maximum or minimum of a quadratic equation is at the following value of the independent variable: =b, (21.7) Xo= -2b2 A

GOODNESS OF FIT

This chapter and the next concentrate on some statistical methods designed for use with nominal-scale data. As nominal data are counts of items or events in each of several categories, procedures for their analysis are sometimes referred to as enumeration statistical methods. This chapter deals with methods that address how well a sample of observations from a population of data conforms to the population's distribution of observations expressed by a null hypothesis. These procedures, which compare frequencies in a sample to frequencies hypothesized in the sampled population. are called goodness-of-fit tests. In testing such hypotheses, the widely used chi-square statistic" (X2) will be discussed, as will the more recently developed loglikelihood ratio introduced in Section 22.7. Goodness of fit for ordered categories (as contrasted with nominal-scale categories) is addressed by the Kolrnogorov-Smirnov test of Section 22.8 or by the Watson test of Section 27.5.

"The symbol for chi-square is X2, where the Greek lowercase letter chi (X) is pronounced as the "ky" in "sky" (see Appendix A). Some authors use the notation X2 instead of X2. which avoids employing a Greek letter for something other than a population parameter; hut this invites confusion with the designation of X2 as the square or an observation; X: so the symbol X2 will he used in this book. Karl Pearson (llJ()O) pioneered the use of this statistic for goodness-or-fit analysis, and David (1995) credits him with the first use of the terms chi-squared and goodness offif at that time. Pearson and R. A Fisher subsequently expanded the theory and application of chi-square (Lancaster. I%\): Chapter I). Chi-squured is the term commonly preferred to chi-square by British writers. Karl Pearson (I K57 -llJ36) was a remarkable British mathematician. Walker (195K) notes that Pearson has been referred to as "the founder or the science of statistics": she called Pearson's development of statistical thinking and practice "an achievement of fantastic proportions" and said of his influence on others: "Few men in all the history of science have stimulated so many other people to cultivate and enlarge the fields they had planted.' Karl Pearson, Walter Frank, and Francis Galton founded the British journal Biometrika, which was first issued in October IlJOI and which still influences statistics in many areas. Pearson edited this journal for 35 years. succeeded for 30 years by his son, Egon Sharpe Pearson, himself a powerful contributor to statistical theory and application (see Bartle: t. IlJKI).

Chi-Square Goodness of Fit for Two Categories

467

CHI-SQUARE GOODNESS OF FIT FOR TWO CATEGORIES It is often desired to obtain a sample of nominal scale data and to infer whether the population [rom which it carne conforms to a specified distribution. For example. a plant geneticist might raise 100 progeny from a cross that is hypothesized to result in a 3: I phenotypic ratio of yellow-flowered to green-flowered plants. Perhaps this sample of 100 is composed of H4 yellow-flowered plants and 16 greenflowered plants. although the hypothesis indicates 1 for several f; 'soFor such data, or for ordinal data, the test appropriate for ungrouped continuous data (using D) is conservative (e.g., Noether, 1963; Pettitt and Stephens, 1977), meaning that the testing is occurring at an a smaller-perhaps much smaller-than that stated, and the probability of a Type II error is inflated; that is, the power of the test is reduced. Therefore, use of dmax is preferred to using D for grouped or ordinal data." , Example 22.13 shows how the data of Example 22.10 would look had the investigator recorded them in 5-meter ranges of trunk heights. Note that power is lost (and Ho is not rejected) by grouping the data, and grouping should be avoided or minimized whenever possible. When applicable (that is, when the categories are ordered), the Kolmogorov: Smirnov test is more powerful than the chi-square test when n is small or when f;

Enumeration data may be collected simultaneously for two nominal-scale variables. These data may be displayed in what is known as a contingency table, where the r rows of the table represent the r categories of one variable and the c columns indicate the c categories of the other variable; thus, there are rc "cells" in the table. (This presentation of data is also known as a cross tabulation or cross classification.i Example 23.1 a is of a contingency table of two rows and four columns, and may be referred to as a 2 x 4 ("two by four") table having (2) ( 4) = 8 cells. A sample of 300 people has been obtained from a specified population (let's say members of an actors' professional association), and the variables tabulated are each person's sex and each person's hair color. In this 2 x 4 table, the number of people in the sample with each of the eight combinations of sex and hair color is recorded in one of the eight cells of the table. These eight data could also be recorded in a 4 X 2 contingency table, with the four hair colors appearing as rows and the two sexes as columns, and that would not change the statistical hypothesis tests or the conclusions that result from them. As with previous statistical tests, the total number of data in the sample is designated as n.

The hypotheses to be tested in this example may be stated in any of these three ways: H«: In the sampled population,

a person's hair color is independent of that person's sex (that is, a person's hair color is not associated with the person's sex), and HA: In the sampled population, a person's hair color is not independent of that person's sex (that is, a person's hair color is associated with the person's sex), or He: In the sampled population, the ratio of males to females is the same for people having each of the four hair colors, and HA: In the sampled population, the ratio of males to females is not the same for people having each of the four hair colors; or

In order to test the stated hypotheses, have been collected in a variety of ways:

• It could have been stipulated, in advance of collecting the data, that a specified number of males would be taken at random from all the males in the population and a specified number of females would be taken at random from all the females in the population. Then the hair color of the people in the sample would be recorded for each sex. That is what was done for Example 23.1 a, where it was decided, before the data were collected, that the sample would consist of 100 males and 200 females. • It could have been stipulated, in advance of collecting the data, that a specified number of people with each hair color would be taken at random from all persons in the population with that hair color. Then the sex of the people in the sample would be recorded for each hair color. • It could have been stipulated, in advance of collecting, that a sample of n people would be taken at random from the population, without specifying how many of each sex would be in the sample or how many of each hair color would be in the sample. Then the sex and hair color of each person would be recorded. For most contingency-table situations, the same statistical testing procedure applies to anyone of these three methods of obtaining the sample of n people, and the same result is obtained. However, when dealing with the smallest possible contingency table, namely one with only two rows and two columns (Section 23.3), an additional sampling strategy may be encountered that calls for a different statistical procedure. Section 23.8 will introduce procedures for analyzing contingency tables of more than two dimensions, where frequencies are tabulated simultaneously for more than two variables. 23.1

CHI-SQUARE ANALYSIS OF CONTINGENCY

TABLES

The most common procedure for analyzing contingency table data uses the chi-square statistic.* Recall that for the computation of chi-square one utilizes observed and expected frequencies (and never proportions or percentages). For the goodness-of-fit analysis introduced in Section 22.1, fi denoted the frequency observed in category i of the variable under study. In a contingency table, we have two variables under consideration, and we denote an observed frequency asfij. Using the double subscript, fij refers to the frequency observed in row i and column j of the contingency table. In Example 23.1, the value in row 1 column 1 is denoted as /11, that in row 2 column 3 as /2], and so on. Thus.jj ] = 32,[12 = 43,[13 = 16, ... '[23 = 64, and h4 = 16. The total frequency in row i of the table is denoted as R, and is obtained as R = LJ"= 1 fij· Thus, RI = /11 + [v: + /13 + /14 = 100, which is the total number of males in the sample, and R2 = hi + /22 + /23 + h4 = 200, which is the total number of females in the sample. The column totals, Ci, are obtained by analogous "The early development of chi-square analysis of contingency tables is credited to Karl Pearson (1904) and R. A. Fisher (1922). In 1904, Pearson was the first to use the term "contingency table" (David, 1995).

Once X2 has been calculated, its significance can be ascertained from Appendix Table B.l, but to do so we must determine the degrees of freedom of the contingency table. The degrees of freedom for a chi-square calculated from contingency-table data are* (23.5) v= (r - l)(c - 1). In Example 23.1, which is a 2 X 4 table, u = (2 1) (4 - 1) = 3. The calculated statistic is 9.987 and the critical value is X~.()5.3 = 7.815, so the null hypothesis is rejected. It is good to calculate expected frequencies and other intermediate results to at least four decimal places and to round to three decimal places after arriving at the value of X2. Barnett and Lewis (1994: 431-440) and Simonoff (2003: 228-234) discuss outliers in contingency-table data.

(a) Comparing Proportions.

Hypotheses for data in a contingency table with only two rows (or only two columns) often refer to ratios or proportions. In Example 23.1. the null hypothesis could have been stated as, "I n the sampled population, the sex ratio is the same for each hair color" or as "In the sampled population, the proportion of males is the same for each hair color." The comparison of two proportions is discussed in Sections 23.3b and 24.10; and the comparison of more than two proportions is further discussed in Sections 24.13-24.1 S. 23.2

In an historical review of rectangular presentations of data, Friendly (2002) credits the English astronomer Edmond (a.k.a. Edmund) Halley (1656-1742), famous for his lfill2 observation of thc comet that bears his name. with the first use of rectangular areas in the data representation for two independent variables (which. however, were not variables for a contingency table). Further developments in the visual LIse of rectangular areas took place in France and Germany in the early 17XOs: a forerunner of mosaic graphs was introduced in 11144by French civil engineer Charles Joseph Minard (1791 -(1170), and what resembled the modern mosaic presentation was first used in IX77 by German statistician Georg von Mayr (11141-1925).

(a) Mutual Independence. We can test more than one null hypothesis using rnultidimensional contingency-table data. An overall kind of hypothesis is that which states mutual independence among all the variables. Another way of expressing this Ho is that there are no interactions (either three-way or two-way) among any of the variables. For this hypothesis, the expected frequency in row i, column j, and tier Lis (23.10) where n is the total of all the frequencies in the entire contingency table. In Example 23.8 this null hypothesis would imply that presence or absence of the disease occurred independently of species and location. For three dimensions, this_

which is a simple extension of the chi-square calculation for a two-dimensional table (by Equation 23.1). The degrees of freedom for this test are the sums of the degrees of freedom for all interactions: lJ =

(r - l)(e

+ (r - l)(e - 1) + (r - l)(t - 1) + (e - 1)(t - 1), (23.12)

= ret - r - e - t + 2.

(23.13)

(b) Partial Independence. If the preceding null hypothesis is not rejected, then we conclude that all three variables are mutually independent and the analysis proceeds no further. If, however, Ho is rejected, then we may test further to conclude between which variables dependencies and independencies exist. For example, we may test whether one of the three variables is independent of the other two, a situation known as partial independenee.* For the hypothesis of rows being independent of columns and tiers, we need total frequencies for rows and total frequencies for combinations of columns and tiers. Designating the total frequency in columnj and tier l as (CT)jl, expected frequencies are calculated as

For the null hypothesis of columns being independent of rows and tiers, we compute expected frequencies using column totals, Cj, and the totals for row and tier combinations, (RTk ~ Cj(RT)it (23.17) !ijl = n and lJ

= ret - rt - e + 1.

(23.18)

And, for the null hypothesis of tiers being independent of rows and columns, we use tier totals, T[, and the totals for row and column combinations, (RC)ir (23.19) lJ

= ret - re - t + 1.

(23.20)

* A different hypothesis is that of conditional independence, where two of the variables are said to be independent in each level of the third (but each may have dependence on the third). This is discussed in the references cited at the beginning of this section.

Chapter 23

Contingency Tables

In Example 23.9, all three pairs of hypotheses for partial independence are tested. In one of the three (the last), Hi, is not rejected; thus we conclude that presence of disease is independent of species and location. However, the hypothesis test of Example 23.8 concluded that all three variables are not independent of each other. Therefore, we suspect that species and location are not independent. The independence of these two variables may be tested using a two-dimensional contingency table, as described earlier, in Section 23.3, and demonstrated in Example 23.10. In the present case, the species-location interaction is tested by way of a 2 x 2 contingency table, and we conclude that these two factors are not independent (i.e., species occurrence depends on geographic location). In general, hypotheses to be tested should be stated before the data are collected. But the hypotheses proposed in Example 23.10 were suggested after the data were examined. Therefore, instead of accepting the present conclusion of the analysis in Example 23.10, such a conclusion should be reached by testing this pair of hypotheses upon obtaining a new set of data from the population of interest and stating the hypotheses in advance of the testing.

While some authors have chosen this procedure over chi-square testing and it is found in some statistical computer packages, others (e.g., Haber, 1984; Hosmane, 1987; Koehler, 1986; Larntz, 1978; Rudas, 1986; and Stelzl, 20(0) have concluded that X2 is preferable. With X2 in contrast to G, the probability of a Type I error is generally closer to CI'.

DATA

This chapter will concentrate on nominal-scale data that come from a population with only two categories. As examples. members of a mammal litter might be classified as male or female. victims of a disease as dead or alive. trees in an area as "deciduous" or "evergreen." or progeny as color-blind or not color-blind. A nominal-scale variable having two categories is said to be dichotomous. Such variables have already been discussed in the context of goodness of fit (Chapter 22) and contingency tables (Chapter 23). The proportion of the population belonging to one of the two categories is denoted as p (here departing from the convention of using Greek letters for population parameters). Therefore. the proportion of the population belonging to the second class is I - p . and the notation q = I - P is commonly employed. For example. if 0.5 (i.e .. 50%) of a population were male. then we would know that 0.5 (i.e .• 1 - 0.5) of the population were female. and we could write p = 0.5 and q = 0.5; if 0.4 (i.e., 40%) of a population were male. then 0.6 (i.c., 60%) of the population were female, and we could write p = 0.4 and q = 0.6. If we took a random sample of ten from a population where p = q = 0.5, then we might expect that the sample would consist of five males and five females. However, we should not be too surprised to find such a sample consisting of six males and four females. or four males and six females. although neither of these combinations would be expected with as great a frequency as samples possessing the population sex ratio of 5 : 5. It would, in fact. be possible to obtain a sample of ten with nine males and one female, or even one consisting of all males, but the probabilities of such samples being encountered by random chance are relatively low. 518

Section 24.1

Binomial Probabilities

519

If we were to obtain a large number of samples from the population under consideration, the frequency of samples consisting of no males, one male, two males, and so on would be described by the binomial distribution (sometimes referred to as the "Bernoulli distribution"*). Let us now examine binomial probabilities. BINOMIAL PROBABILITIES

Consider a population consisting of two categories, where p is the proportion of individuals in one of the categories and q = 1 - p is the proportion in the other. Then the probability of selecting at random from this population a member of the first category is p, and the probability of selecting a member of the second category is q.t For example, let us say we have a population of female and male animals, in proportions of p = 0.4 and q = 0.6, respectively, and we take a random sample of two individuals from the population. The probability of the first being a female is p (i.e., 0.4) and the probability of the second being a female is also p. As the probability of two independent (i.e., mutually exclusive) events both occurring is the product of the probabilities of the two separate events (Section 5.7), the probability of having two females in a sample of two is (p )(p) = p2 = 0.16; the probability of the sample of two consisting of two males is (q) (q) = q2 = 0.36. What is the probability of the sample of two consisting of one male and one female? This could occur by the first individual being a female and the second a male (with a probability of pq) or by the first being a male and the second a female (which would occur with a probability of qp). The probability of either of two mutually exclusive outcomes is the sum of the probabilities of each outcome (Section 5.6), so the probability of one female and one male in the sample is pq + qp = 2pq = 2( 0.4) (0.6) = 0.48. Note that 0.16 + 0.36 + 0.48 = 1.00. Now consider another sample from this population, one where n = 3. The probability of all three individuals being female is ppp = p3 = (0.4)3 = 0.064. The probability of two females and one male is ppq (for a sequence of 'i' 'i' 0") + pqp (for ~ o"'i') + qpp (for o"~ ~), or 3p2q = 3(0.4)2(0.6) = 0.288. The probability of one female and two males is pqq (for ~ 0" 0") + qpq (for 0" 'i' 0") + qqp (for 0" o"'i' ), or 3pq2 = 3( 0.4) (0.6)2 = 0.432. And, finally, the probability of all three being males is qqq = q3 = (0.6)3 = 0.216. Note that p3 + 3p2q + 3pq2 + q3 = 0.064 + 0.288 + 0.432 + 0.216 = 1.000 (meaning that there is a 100% probability-that is, it is certain -that the three animals will be in one of these three combinations of sexes). If we performed the same exercise with n = 4, we would find that the probability of four females is p4 = (0.4)4 = 0.0256, the probability of three females (and one male) is 4p3q = 4(0.4 )3(0.6) = 0.1536, the probability of two females is 6p2q2 = 0.3456, "The binomial formula in the following section was first described, in 1676, by English scientistmathematician Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), more than 10 years after he discovered it (Gullberg, 1997: 776). Its first proof, for positive integer exponents, was given by the Swiss mathematician Jacques (also known as Jacob, Jakob, or James) Bernoulli (1654-1705), in a 1713 posthumous publication; thus, each observed event from a binomial distribution is sometimes called a Bernoulli trial. Jacques Bernoulli's nephew, Nicholas Bernoulli (1687-1759), is given credit for editing that publication and writing a preface for it. but Hald (1984) explains that in 1713 Nicholas also presented an improvement to his uncle's binomial theorem. David (1995) attributes the first use of the term binomial distribution to G. U. Yule, in 1911. tThis assumes "sampling with replacement." That is, each individual in the sample is taken at random from the population and then is returned to the population before the next member of the sample is selected at random. Sampling without replacement is discussed in Section 24.2. If the population is very large compared to the size of the sample. then sampling with and without replacement are indistinguishable in practice.

Chapter 24

Dichotomous Variables

the probability of one female is 4pq3 = 0.3456, and the probability of no females (i.e., all four are male) is q4 = 0.1296. (The sum of these five terms is 1.0000, a good arithmetic check.) If a random sample of size n is taken from a binomial population, then the probability of X individuals being in one category (and, therefore, n X individuals in the second category) is (24.1)

«:"

In this equation, pX refers to the probability of sample consisting of X items, each having a probability of p, and n - X items, each with probability q. The binomial coefficient,

(n)X

is the number of ways X items of one kind can be arranged with n X items of a second kind, or, in other words, it is nCX, the number of possible combinations of n items divided into one group of X items and a second group of n - X items. (See Section 5.3 for a discussion of combinations and Equation 5.3 explaining the factorial notation, "!".) Therefore, Equation 24.1 can be written as P(X)

= X!(n n~ X)!pxqn-x.

(24.3)

Thus, (n)pXqn-X is the Xth term in the expansion of (p + qY, and Table 24.1 x shows this expansion for powers up through 6. Note that for any power, n, the sum of the two exponents in any term is n. Furthermore, the first term will always be v". the second will always contain q, the third will always contain pn-2q2, and so on, with the last term always being q", The sum of all the terms in a binomial expansion will always be 1.0, for p + q = 1, and (p + q)n = 111 = 1. As for the coefficients of these terms in the binomial expansion, the Xth term of the nth power expansion can be calculated by Equation 24.3. Furthermore, the examination of these coefficients as shown in Table 24.2 has been deemed interesting for centuries. This arrangement is known as Pascal's triangle," We can see from this

*Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and physicist and one of the founders of probability theory (in 1654, immediately before abandoning mathematics to become a religious recluse). He had his triangular binomial coefficient derivation published in 1665,although knowledge of the triangular properties appears in Chinese writings as early as 1303 (Cajori, 1954; David, 1962; Gullberg 1997: 141; Struik, 1967: 79). Pascal also invented (at age 19) a mechanical adding and subtracting machine which, though patented in 1649, proved too expensive to be practical to construct (Asimov, 1982: 130-131). His significant contributions to the study of fluid pressures have been honored by naming the international unit of pressure the pascal, which is a pressure of one

Also note that the sum of all coefficients for the nth power binomial expansion is Z", Appendix Table 8.26a presents binomial coefficients for much larger n's and X's, and they will be found useful later in this chapter. Thus, we can calculate probabilities of category frequencies occurring in random samples from a binomial population. If, for example, a sample of five (i.e., n = 5) is taken from a population composed of 50% males and 50% females (i.e., p = 0.5 and q = 0.5) then Example 24.1 shows how Equation 24.3 is used to determine the probability of the sample containing 0 males, 1 male, 2 males, 3 males, 4 males, and 5 males. These probabilities are found to be 0.03125, 0.15625, 0.31250, 0.31250, 0.15625, and 0.03125, respectively. This enables us to state that if we took 100 random samples of five animals each from the population, about three of the samples [i.e., (0.03125)(100) = 3.125 of them] would be expected to contain all females, about 16 [i.e., (0.15625)(100) = 15.625] to contain one male and four females, 31 [i.e., (0.31250)(100)] to consist of two males and three females, and so on. If we took 1400 random samples of five, then (0.03125) (1400) = 43.75 [i.e., about 44] of them would be expected to contain all females, and so on. Figure 24.1a shows graphically newton per square meter (where a newton-named for Sir Isaac Newton-is the unit of force representing a one-kilogram mass accelerating at the rate of one meter per second per second). Pascal is also the name of a computer programming language developed in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth. The relationship of Pascal's triangle to n ex was first published in 1685 by the English mathematician John Wallis (1616-1703) (David, 1962: 123-124).

For calculating binomial probabilities for large n, it is often convenient to employ logarithms. For this reason, Appendix Table B.40, a table of logarithms of factorials, is provided. Alternatively, it is useful to note that the denominator of Equation 24.3 cancels out much of the numerator, so that it is possible to simplify the computation of P(X), especially in the tails of the distribution (i.e., for low X and for high X), as shown in Example 24.3. If p is very small, then the use of the Poisson distribution (Section 25.1), should be considered.* The mean of a binomial distribution of counts X is /LX

Thus, if we have a binomially distributed population where p (e.g., the proportion of males) = 0.5 and q (e.g., the proportion of females) = 0.5 and we take 10 samples from that population, the mean of the 10 X's (i.e., the mean number of males per sample) would be expected to be np = (10) (0.05) = 5 and the standard deviation of the 10 X's would be expected to be Jnpq = )(10)(0.5)(0.5) = 1.58. Our concern typically is with the distribution of the expected probabilities rather than the expected X's, as will be explained in Section 24.3. 24.2

THE HYPERGEOMETRIC

DISTRIBUTION

Binomial probabilities (Section 24.1) may result from what is known as "sampling with replacement." This means that after an item is randomly removed from the *A

(This assumes that after the item is returned to the population it has the same chance of being selected again as does any other member of the population; in many biological situations-such as catching a mammal in a trap-this is not so.) Sampling with replacement ensures that the probability of selecting an item belonging to a specific one of the binomial categories remains constant. If sampling from an actual population is performed without replacement, then selecting an item from the first category reduces p and increases q (and, if the selected item were from the second category, then q would decrease and p would increase). Binomial probabilities may also arise from sampling "hypothetical" populations (introduced in Section 2.2), such as proportions of heads and tails from all possible coin tosses or of males and females in all possible fraternal twins. Probabilities associated with sampling without replacement follow the hypergeometric distribution instead of the binomial distribution. The probability of obtaining a sample of n items from a hypergeometric distribution, where the sample consists of X items in one category and n - X items in a second category, is

Here, NT is the total number of items in the population, N) in category 1 and N2 in category 2. For example, we could ask what the probability is of forming a sample consisting of three women and two men by taking five people at random from a group of eight women and six men. As N) = 8, N2 = 6, NT = 14, n = 5, and X = 3, the probability is

= 0.4196. If the population is very large compared to the size of the sample, then the result of sampling with replacement is indistinguishable from that of sampling without replacement, and the hypergeometric distribution approaches-and is approximated by-the binomial distribution. Table 24.3 compares the binomial distribution with p = 0.01 and n = 100 to three hypergeometric distributions with the same p and n but with different population sizes. It can be seen that for larger NT the hypergeometric is closer to the binomial distribution.

If, in the population, p = 0, then obviously any sample from that population would have p = 0; and if p = 1.0, then each and *Placing the symbol "," above a letter is statistical convention for denoting an estimate of the quantity which that letter denotes.

When sampling from finite populations, the data follow the hypergeometric (Section 24.2), rather than the binomial, distribution.

Goodness of Fit for the Binomial Distribution

Section 24.4

529

GOODNESS OF FIT FORTHE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION (a) When p Is Hypothesized to Be Known. In some biological situations the population proportions, p and q, might be postulated, as from theory. For example, theory might tell us that 50% of mammalian sperm contain an X chromosome, whereas 50% contain a Y chromosome, and we can expect a 1 : 1 sex ratio among the offspring. We may wish to test the hypothesis that our sample came from a binomially distributed population with equal sex frequencies. We may do this as follows, by the goodness-of-fit testing introduced in Chapter 22. Let us suppose that we have tabulated the sexes of the offspring from 54 litters of five animals each (Example 24.5). Setting p = q = 0.5, the proportion of each possible litter composition can be computed by the procedures of Example 24.1, using Equation 24.3, or they can be read directly from Appendix Table B.26b. From these proportions, we can tabulate expected frequencies, and then can subject observed and expected frequencies of each type of litter to a chi-square goodness-of-fit analysis (see Section 22.1), with k - 1 degrees of freedom (k being the number of classes of X). In Example 24.5, we do not reject the null hypothesis, and therefore we conclude that the sampled population is binomial with p = 0.5.

Computation of the values of! requires the values of P(X), as obtained in Example 24.1.

To avoid bias in this chi-square computation, no expected frequency should be less than 1.0 (Cochran, 1954). If such small frequencies occur, then frequencies i~ the appropriate extreme classes of X may be pooled to arrive at sufficiently large Ii values. Such pooling was not necessary in Example 24.5, as no Ii was less than 1.0. But it will be shown in Example 24.6. A

X = 0 denotes a sample with no left-handed persons, X = 1 a sample with one left-handed person, and so on; f is the observed number of sampl~s, and f is the number of samples expected if the null hypothesis is true. Each f is computed by multiplying 75 by P( X), where P( X) is obtained from Equation 24.3 by substituting p and q for p and q, respectively. A

The G statistic (Section 22.7) may be calculated in lieu of chi-square, with the summation being executed over all classes except those where not only /i = 0 but also all more extreme /i 's are zero. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic of Section 22.8 could also be used to determine the goodness of fit. Heterogeneity testing (Section 22.6) may be performed for several sets of data hypothesized to have come from a binomial distribution. If the preceding null hypothesis had been rejected, we might have looked in several directions for a biological explanation. The rejection of H« might have indicated that the population p was, in fact, not 0.5. Or, it might have indicated that the underlying distribution was not binomial. The latter possibility may occur when membership of an individual in one of the two possible categories is dependent upon another individual in the sample. In Example 24.5, for instance, identical twins (or other multiple identical births) might have been a common occurrence in the species in question. In that case, if one member of a litter was found to be female, then there would be a greater-than-expected chance of a second member of the litter being female. (b) When p Is Not Assumed to Be Known. Commonly, we do not postulate the value of p in the population but estimate it from a sample of data. As shown in Example 24.7, we may do this by calculating

~ p=

(24.28) n

It then follows that q = 1 - p. The values of p and q may be substituted in Equation 24.3 in place of p and q, respectively. Thus, expected frequencies may be calculated for each X, and a chi-square goodness-of-fit analysis may be performed as it was in Example 24.5. In such a procedure, however, v is k - 2 rather than k - 1, because two constants

Chapter 24

532


(n and j)) must be obtained from the sample, and v is, in general, determined as k minus the number of such constants. The G statistic (Section 22.7) may be employed when p is not known, but the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (Section 22.8) is very conservative in such cases and should be avoided. The null hypothesis for such a test would be that the sampled population was distributed binomially, with the members of the population occuring independently of one another. 24.5

THE BINOMIAL TEST AND ONE-SAMPLE TEST OF A PROPORTION

With the ability to determine binomial probabilities, a simple procedure may be employed for goodness-of-fit testing of nominal data distributed between two categories. This method is especially welcome as an alternative to chi-square goodness of fit where the expected frequencies are small (see Section 22.5). If p is very small, then the Poisson distribution (Section 25.l) may be used; and it is simpler to employ when n is very large. Because the binomial distribution is discrete, this procedure is conservative in that the probability of a Type I error is s; 0:'. (a) One-Tailed Testing. Animals might be introduced one at a time into a passageway at the end of which each has a choice of turning either to the right or to the left. A substance, perhaps food, is placed out of sight to the left or right; the direction is randomly determined (as by the toss of a coin). We might state a null hypothesis, that there is no tendency for animals to turn in the direction of the food, against the alternative, that the animals prefer to turn toward the food. If we consider p to be the probability of turning toward the food, then the hypothesis (one-tailed) would be stated as Ho: P s; 0.5 and HA: p > 0.5, and such an experiment might be utilized, for example, to determine the ability of the animals to smell the food. We may test Hi, as shown in Example 24.7. In this procedure, we determine the probability of obtaining, at random, a distribution of data deviating as much as, or more than, the observed data. In Example 24.7, the most likely distribution of data in a sample of twelve from a population where p ; in fact, was 0.5, would be six left and six right. The samples deviating from a 6 : 6 ratio even more than our observed sample (having a 10 : 2 ratio) would be those possessing eleven left, one right, and twelve left, zero right.

EXAMPLE 24.7

A One-Tailed

Binomial Test

Twelve animals were introduced, one at a time, into a passageway at the end of which they could turn to the left (where food was placed out of sight) or to the right. We wish to determine if these animals came from a population in which animals would choose the left more often than the right (perhaps because they were able to smell the food). Thus, n = 12, the number of animals; X is the number of animals turning left; and p is the probability of animals in the sampled population that would turn left. /

As this probability is less than 0.05, reject Ho. (b) The test using a confidence limit This test could also be performed by using the upper confidence limit of P as a critical value.

as extreme as, or more extreme than, that observed is shown in Example 24.8, where the expected frequencies, P(X), are obtained either from Appendix Table B.26b or by Equation 24.3. If the resultant probability is less than or equal to a, then Ho is rejected. A simple procedure for computing this P when Po = 0.5 is shown in Section 24.6. Alternatively, a critical value for the one-tailed binomial test may be found using the confidence-limit determinations of Section 24.8. This is demonstrated in Example 24.7b, using a one-tailed F for the confidence interval presented in Section 24.8a. If H»: P > 0.5 (as in Example 24.7), then Equation 24.35 is used to obtain the upper critical value as the critical value for the test. If the alternative hypothesis had been H A: P > 0.5, then Equation 24.29 would have been appropriate, calculating the lower confidence limit to be considered the critical value. Or the needed upper or lower confidence limit could be obtained using a one-tailed Z for the procedure of Section 24.8c. Employing the confidence limits of Section 24.8b is not recommended. A simpler alternative, demonstrated as Example 24.8c, is to consult Appendix Table B.27 to obtain the lower confidence limit, Ca(, ).n' for one-tailed probabilities, 0'( 1).If Hj\: P < 0.5, then Ho is rejected if X::::; Ca(, ).n' where X = np. If HA: P > 0.5 (as in Example 24.7), then Ho is rejected if X > n - Ca(, )./1' (b) Two-Tailed Testing. The preceding experiment might have been performed without expressing an interest specifically in whether the animals were attracted toward the introduced substance. Thus, there would be no reason for considering a preference for only one of the two possible directions, and we would be dealing with two-tailed hypotheses, Ho: P = 0.5 and H A: P 0.5. The testing procedure would be identical to that in Example 24.7, except that we desire to know P( X ::::;2 or X ;::::10). This is the probability of a set of data deviating in either direction from the expected as much as or more than those data observed. This is shown in Example 24.8. The general two-tailed hypotheses are He: P = Po and H A: P PO. If Po = 0.5, a simplified computation of P is shown in Equation 24.5. Instead of enumerating the several values of P( X) required, we could determine critical values for the two-tailed binomial test as the two-tailed confidence limits described in Section 24.8. If the observed p lies outside the interval formed by L, and L2, then Ho is rejected. This is demonstrated in Example 24.8b, using the confidence limits of Section 24.8a. If the hypothesized P is 0.5, then VI and V2 are the same for L, and L2; therefore, the required critical value of F is the same for both confidence limits. This is shown in Example 24.8a, where VI = v!'. V2 = vi, and FO.05(2).14.12 is used for both L I and L2. The confidence-limit calculation of Section 24.8c can also be used, but employing Section 24.8b is not recommended. A simpler two-tailed binomial test is possible using Appendix Table B.27, as demonstrated in Example 24.8c. If the observed count, X = pn, is either es Ca(2 ).v or ;::::n - Ca(2).n, then Hi, is rejected.

Then we examine the binomial distribution for the observed proportion, from our sample.

For a two-tailed test of H«: P = Po versus HA: P Po, there are two critical values of X, one that cuts off 0'/2 of the binomial distribution in each tail.

As noted earlier (e.g., Sections 7.7 and 8.7), this is not an estimate of the power of the test already performed; it is an estimate of the power of this test performed on a new set of data obtained from the same population. It has been noted in the preceding discussions of the binomial distribution that normal approximations to that distribution are generally poor and inadvisable. However, rough estimates of power are often sufficient in planning data collection. If n is not small and the best estimate of the population proportion, p ; is not near 0 or 1, then an approximation of the power of a binomial or sign test can be calculated as

Chapter 24

Dichotomous Variables a and the minimum difference between Po and P that is desired to be detected with a given power. If P is not very near 0 or 1, this may be done with a normal approximation, with the understanding that this will result only in a rough estimate. Depending upon the hypothesis to be tested, Equation 24.31, 24.31a, or 24.31b may be used to estimate power for any sample size (n) that appears to be a reasonable guess. If the calculated power is less than desired, then the calculation is repeated with a larger n; if it is greater than that desired, the calculation is repeated with a smaller n. This repetitive process (called iteration) is performed until the specified power is obtained from the equation, at which point n is the estimate of the required sample size. An estimate of the required n may be obtained without iteration, when one-tailed testing is to be performed. Equations 24.31 a and 24.31 b can be rearranged as follows (Simonoff, 2003, 59-60): ForHo:p$poversusHA:p >po,

Levin and Chen (1999) have shown that these two equations provide values of n that tend to be underestimates, and they present estimates that are often better. If p is not very near 0 or 1, we can specify a, power, and n, and employ iteration to obtain a rough estimate of the smallest difference between Po and p that can be detected in a future experiment. A reasonable guess of this minimum detectable difference, Po - p, may be inserted into Equation 24.31, 24.31a, or 24.31b (depending upon the hypothesis to be tested), and the calculated power is then examined. If the power is less than that specified, then the calculation is performed again, using a larger value of Po - P; if the calculated power is greater than the specified power, the computation is performed again, using a smaller Po - p. This iterative process, involving increasing or decreasing Po - P in the equation, is repeated until the desired power is achieved, at which point the PO - P used to calculate that power is the minimum detectable difference sought. Or, to estimate the minimum detectable difference for one-tailed testing, either Equation 24.32 or 24.32a (depending upon the hypotheses) may be rearranged to give

Confidence Limits for a Population Proportion

543

.8 CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR A POPULATION PROPORTION

Confidence intervals for the binomial parameter, p, can be calculated by a very large number of methods. * Among them are the following: (a) Clopper-Pearson Interval. A confidence interval for p may be computed (Agresti and Coull, 1998; Bliss, 1967: 199-201; Brownlee, 1965: 148-149; Fleiss, Levin, and .Paik, 2003: 25) using a relationship between the F distribution and the binomial distribution (Clopper and Pearson, 1934). As demonstrated in Example 24.14a, the lower confidence limit for P is LI

with v; = 2(X + 1), which is the same as V2 + 2, and v; = 2(n - X), which is equal to VI - 2. The interval specified by L I and L2 is one of many referred to as an "exact" confidence interval, because it is based upon an exact distribution (the binomial distribution) and not upon an approximation of a distribution. But it is not exact in the sense of specifying an interval that includes p with a probability of exactly 1 - £Y. Indeed, the aforementioned interval includes p with a probability of at least I - £Y, and the probability might be much greater than 1 - £Y. (So a confidence interval calculated in this fashion using £Y = 0.05, such as in Example 24.14a, will contain p with a probability of 95% or greater.) Because this interval tends to be larger than necessary for 1 - £Y confidence, it is said to be a conservative confidence interval (although the conservatism is less when n is large). (b) Wald Interval. This commonly encountered approximation for the confidence interval, based upon the normal distribution," is shown in Exercise 24.14b: A

P ± Z,,(2)

~

pq ----;;.

(24.36)

But this approximation can yield unsatisfactory results, especially when p is near 0 or 1 or when n is small. (Although the approximation improves somewhat as n or pq increases, it still performs less well than the method discussed in Section 24.8c.) One problem with this confidence interval is that it overestimates the precision of estimating p (and thus is said to be "liberal." That is, the interval includes pless "Many of these are discussed by Agresti and Coull (1998); Blyth (1986); Bohning (1994); Brown, Cai. and DasGupta (2002); Fujino (1980); Newcombe (1998a); and Vollset (1993). "Brownlee (1965: 136) credits Abraham de Moivre as the first to demonstrate, in 1733, the approximation of the binomial distribution by the normal distribution. Agresti (20()2: 15) refers to this as one of the first confidence intervals proposed for any parameter. citing Laplace (1812: 283).

than 1 - a of the time (e.g., less than 95% of the time when a = 0.05). Another objection is that the calculated confidence interval is always symmetrical around p (that is, it has a lower limit as far from p as the upper limit is), although a binomial distribution is skewed (unless P = 0.50; see Figure 24.1). This forced symmetry can result in a calculated L1 that is less than 0 or an L2 greater than 1, which would be unreasonable. Also, when p is 0 or 1, no confidence interval is calculable; the upper and lower confidence limits are both calculated to be p. Though it is commonly encountered, many authors* have noted serious disadvantages of Equation 24.36 (even with application of a continuity correction), have strongly discouraged its use, and have discussed some approximations that perform much better. (c) Adjusted Wald Interval. A very simple, and very good, modification of the Wald interval (called an "adjusted Wald interval" by Agresti and Caffo, 2000, and Agresti "See, for example; Agresti and Caffo (2000); Agresti and Coull (1998); Blyth (1986); Brown, Cai, and DasGupta (200t, 2002); Fujino (1980); Newcombe (1998a); Schader and Schmid (1990); and Vollset (1993). Fleiss, Levin, and Paik (2003: 28-29) present a normal approximation more complicated than, but apparently more accurate than, Equation 24.36.

Equation 24.36,1 as shown in Example 24.14c; then, p = X/n, and q = 1 - p. The probability of this confidence interval containing the population parameter is much closer to 1 - a than the intervals in Sections 28.4a and 28.4b, although that probability may be a little below or a little above 1 - a in individual cases. And . neither L\ nor L2 is as likely as with the nonadjusted Wald interval to appear less than 0 or greater than 1. (d) Which Interval to Use. Because n is fairly large in Example 24.14, and ji and q are close to 0.5, the confidence limits do not vary appreciably among the aforementioned procedures. However, the following general guidelines emerge from the many studies performed on confidence intervals for the binomial parameter, p, although there is not unanimity of opinion: • If it is desired that there is probability of at least 1 - a that the interval from L, to L2 includes p, even if the interval might be very conservative (i.e., the probability might be much greater than 1 - a), then the Clopper-Pearson interval (Section 24.8a) should be used. • If it is desired that the probability is close to 1 - a that the interval from L, to L2 includes p ; even though it might be either a little above or a little below 1 - a, then the adjusted Wald interval (Section 24.8c) is preferable. Another approximation is that of Wilson (1927) and is sometimes called the "score interval" (with different, but equivalent, formulas given by Agresti and Coull, 2000 and Newcombe, 1998a); and it yields results similar to those of the adjusted Wald interval. • The nonadjusted Wald interval (Section 24.8b) should not be used. • None of these confidence-interval calculations works acceptably when X = 0 (that is, when p = 0) or when X = 1 (that is, when p = 1). The following exact confidence limits (Blyth, 1986; Fleiss, Levin, and Paik, 2003: 23; Sprent and Smeeton, 2001: 81; Vollset, 1993) should be used in those circumstances': IfX=O: IfX=l:

(24.37) (24.38)

One-tailed confidence intervals can be determined via the considerations presented in Sections 6.4a and 7.3a and the use of a one-tailed critical value for F or Z. *The symbol above the X and n is called a tilde (pronounced "til-duh"); X is read as "X tilde" n as "n tilde." tFor a 95% confidence interval, Za(2) = 1.9600, Zk05(2) = 3.8416, and Z3.05(2/2 = 1.9208; so it is often recommended to simply use X + 2 in place of X and n + 4 in place of n, which yields very good results. For the data of Example 24.14, this would give the same confidence limits as in Example 24.14c: Ll = 0.357 and L2 = 0.513. +The notation 'ifX represents the nth root of X, which may also be written as X 1/", so 'Va( 1) may be seen written as r a( 1)]1/ ", It can also be noted that negative exponents represent reciprocals: x :» = 1/ X", This modern notation for fractional and negative powers was introduced by Sir Isaac ewton (1642-1727) in 1676, although the notion of fractional powers was conceived much earlier, such as by French writer icole Oresme (ca. 1323-1382) (Cajori, 1928-1929: Vol. I: 91,354, 355).

and

Section 24.8


547

There are computer programs and published tables that provide confidence limits for p, but users of them should be confident in the computational method employed to obtain the results. (e) Confidence Limits with Finite Populations. It is usually considered that the size of a sampled population (N) is very much larger than the size of the sample (n), as if the population size was infinite. If, however, n is large compared to N (i.e., the sample is a large portion of the population), it is said that the population is finite. As n approaches N, the estimation of p becomes more accurate, and the calculation of confidence limits by the adjusted Wald method (or by the Wald method) improves greatly by converting the lower confidence limit, L J, to i L, )c and the upper confidence limit, L2, to (L2 )c, as follows (Burstein, 1975): (Ld, ~

The more (N - n) / (N - 1) differs from 1.0, the more the confidence limi ts from Equations 24.39 and 24.40 will be preferable to those that do not consider the sample population to be finite. (f) Sample Size Requirements. A researcher may wish to estimate, for a given how large a sample is necessary to produce a confidence interval of a specified width. Section 24.8b presents a procedure (although often a crude one) for calculating a confidence interval for p when p is not close to 0 or 1. That normal approximation can be employed, with p and q obtained from an existing set of data, to provide a rough estimate of the number of data (n) that a future sample from the same population must contain to obtain a confidence interval where both LJ and L2 are at a designated distance, 8, from p:

(Cochran, 1977: 75-76; Hollander and Wolfe, 1999: 30), where ZO.05(2) is a two-tailed normal deviate. If we do not have an estimate of p, then a conservative estimate of the required n can be obtained by inserting 0.5 for and for in Equation 24.41. If the sample size, n, is not a small portion of the population size, N, then the required sample size is smaller than the n determined by Equation 24.41 and can be estimated as n (24.42) nl = ------1 + (n - 1)/ N

p

q

(Cochran, 1977: 75-76). For the confidence intervals of Sections 24.8a and 24.8c, a much better estimate of the needed sample size may be obtained by iteration. For a given a value of n may be proposed, from Equation 24.41 or otherwise. (Equation 24.41 will yield an underestimate of n.) Then the confidence limits are calculated. If the confidence interval is wider than desired, perform the calculation again with a larger n; and if it is

p,

narrower than desired, try again with a smaller n. This process can be repeated unti an estimate of the required n is obtained for the interval width desired. 24.9

CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FOR A POPULATION MEDIAN

The confidence limits for a population median" may be obtained by considering a binomial distribution with p = 0.5. The procedure thus is related to the binomial and sign tests in earlier sections of this chapter and may conveniently use Appendix Table B.27. That table gives Ca,/z, and from this we can state the confidence interval for a median to be P( Xi :::;population median :::;Xi)

and (24.45) (e.g., MacKinnon, 1964), if the data are arranged in order of magnitude (so that Xi is the smallest measurement and X, is the largest). The confidence limits, therefore, are LI = Xi and L2 = Xj. Because of the discreteness of the binomial distribution, the confidence will typically be a little greater than the 1 - 0' specified. This procedure is demonstrated in Example 24.14a. EXAMPLE 24.14a

Let us determine a 95% confidence interval for the median of the population from which each of the two sets of data in Example 3.3 came, where the population median was estimated to be 40 mo for species A and 52 mo for species B. For species A, n = 9, so (from Appendix Table B.27) CO.05(2).9 = 1 and n - C005(2).9 = 9 - 1 = 8. The confidence limits are, therefore, Xi and Xi, where i = 1 + 1 = 2 and j = 8; and we can state P(X2:::;

For example, in Example 23.3 the column totals (the total data for each species) are fixed and the proportion of mice afflicted with the parasite are PI = 18/24 = 0.75 for species 1 and P2 = 10/25 = 0.40 for species 2.

The decision of which one of the three pairs of hypotheses to use should be made on the basis of the biological question being asked and is to be made prior to the collection of the data.

If the preceding hypotheses pertain to a sample of n I proportions and a second sample of n2 proportions, then the t test of Section 8.1 can be used in conjunction with the data transformation of Section 13.3.

Confidence Limits for the Difference Between Proportions

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPORTIONS

When a proportion (jJ I) is obtained by sampling one population, and a proportion (jJ2) is from another population, confidence limits for the difference between the two population proportions (PI - P2) can be calculated by many methods.* The most common are these: (a) Wald Interval. A confidence interval may be expressed in a fashion analogous to the Wald interval for a single proportion (which is discussed in Section 24.8b): PI A

-

+ P2q2 --

pA 2 ± Z a(2) ~Plql -nl

(24.52)

,

o:

Pz.

where PI = XI/nl,P2 = X2/n2,qAI = 1 - pAI,andqA2 = 1 Though commonly used, this calculation of confidence limits yields poor results, even when sample sizes are large. These confidence limits include PI - P2 less than 1 - Q' of the time (e.g., less than 95% of the time when expressing a 95% confidence interval), and thus they are said to be "liberal." The confidence limits include PI - P2 much less than 1 - Q' of the time when PI and P2 are near 0 or 1. Also, Equation 24.52 produces confidence limits that are always symmetrical around PI - P2, whereas (unless PI - P2 = 0.50) the distance between the lower confidence limit (LJ) and PI - P2 should be different than the distance between PI - P2 and the upper limit (L2). This unrealistic symmetry can produce a calculated LI that is less than 0 or greater than 1, which would be an unreasonable result. Tn addition, when both PI and /h are either 0 or 1, a confidence interval cannot be calculated by this equation. Therefore, this calculation (as is the case of Equation 24.36 in Section 24.8b) generally is not recommended. (b) Adjusted Wald Interval. Agresti and Caffo (2000) have shown that it is far preferable to employ an "adjusted" Wald interval (analogous to that in the onesample situation of Section 24.8c), where Equation 24.52 is employed by substituting" Xi = Xi + Z~(2)/ 4 for Xi and fii = niZ~(2j12 for ni. As shown in Example 24.15a, the adjusted confidence interval is obtained by using Pi = Xjni in place of Pi in Equation 24.52. This adjusted Wald confidence interval avoids the undesirable severe liberalism obtainable with the unadjusted interval, although it can be slightly conservative (i.e., have a probability of a little greater than 1 of containing PI - P2) when PI and P2 are both near 0 or 1. Newcombe (1998b) discussed a confidence interval that is a modification of the one-sample interval based upon Wilson (1927) and mentioned in Section 24.8d. It is said to produce results similar to those of the adjusted Wald interval. Q'

(c) Sample Size Requirements. If the statistics PI and P2 are obtained from sampling two populations, it may be desired to estimate how many data must be collected from those populations to calculate a confidence interval of specified width for PI - P2· The following may be derived from the calculation of the Wald interval * A large number of them arc discussed by Agresti and Caffo (2000), Agresti and Coull ()998), Blyth (1986), Hauck and Anderson (1986), Newcombe (1998b), and Upton (1982). iFora95%confidenceintcrval,Z;(2)/4 = (1.9600)2/4 = 0.9604andZ;(2/2 = (1.9600)2/2 = 1.9208, so using Xi + 1 in place of Xi and n, + 2 in place of n, yields very good results.

This is an underestimate of the number of data needed, and a better estimate may be obtained by iteration, using the adjusted Wald interval (Section 24.11b). For the given PI and a speculated value of n is inserted into the computation of the adjusted Wald interval in place of nl and n2. If the calculated confidence interval is wider than desired, the adjusted Wald calculation is performed again with a larger n; if it is narrower than desired, the calculation is executed with a smaller n. This process is repeated until n is obtained for the interval width desired. The iteration using the adjusted Wald equation may also be performed with one of the future sample sizes specified, in which case the process estimates the size needed for the other sample.

These power computations are based on approximations to the Fisher exact test (Section 24.16) and tend to produce a conservative result.

Estimating the sample size needed in a future comparison of two proportions, with a specified power, has been discussed by several authors,* using a normal approximation. Such an estimate may also be obtained by iteration analogous to that of Section 24.7c.

"See, for example, Casagrande, Pike, and Smith (1978); Cochran and Cox (1957: 27); and Fleiss, Levin, and Paik (2003: 72). Also, Hornick and Overall (1980) reported that the following computation of Cochran and Cox (1957: 27) yields good results and appears not to have a tendency to be conservative: (24.61) where the arcsines are expressed in radians.

EXAMPLE 24.16 Two Proportions

Estimation of Power in a Two-Tailed Test Comparing

We propose to test He: PI = P2 versus HA: PI =I- P2, with a = 0.05, nl = 50, and = 45, where in the sampled populations PI = 0.75 and P2 = 0.50. The power of the test can be estimated as follows. We first compute (by Equation 24.55): n2

p = (50)(0.75) 50

+ (45)(0.50) + 45

= 0.6316

and

q = 1 - P = 0.3684.

= 0.0000 + [1.0000 - 0.2843] = 0.72. The estimation procedure uses Equation 24.54, 24.59, or 24.60, depending upon the null hypothesis to be tested. The power is thus determined for the difference (PI - P2) desired to be detected between two population proportions. This is done using equal sample sizes (nj = n2) that are a reasonable guess of the sample size that is required from each of the two populations. If the power thus calculated is less than desired, then the calculation is repeated using a larger sample size. If the calculated power is greater than the desired power, the computation is performed again but using a smaller sample size. Such iterative calculations are repeated until the specified power has been obtained, and the last n used in the calculation is the estimate of the sample size required in each of the two samples. The samples from the two populations should be of the same size (n I = n2) for the desired power to be calculated with the fewest total number of data (nj + n2). FIeiss, Tytun, and Ury (1980), Levin and Chen (1999), and Ury and Fleiss (1980) discuss the estimation of n I and tt: when acquiring equal sample sizes is not practical.

Comparing More Than Two Proportions

Section 24.13

555

In a similar manner, n, a, and power may be specified, and the minimum detectable difference (PI - P2) may be estimated. This is done by iteration, using Equation 24.54,24.59, or 24.60, depending upon the null hypothesis to be tested. A reasonable guess of the minimum detectable difference can be entered into the equation and, if the calculated power is less than that desired, the computation is repeated with a larger (PI - P2); if the calculated power is greater than that desired, the computation is repeated by inserting a smaller PI - P2 into the equation; and when the desired power is obtained from the equation, the PI - P2 last used in the calculation is an expression of the estimated minimum detectable difference. Ury (1982) described a procedure for estimating one of the two population proportions if n, a, the desired power, and the other population proportion are specified. ~4.13 COMPARING MORE THAN TWO PROPORTIONS

I I

Comparison of proportions may be done by contingency-table analysis. For example, the null hypothesis of Example 23.1 could be stated as, "The proportions of males and females are the same among individuals of each of the four hair colors." Alternatively, an approximation related to the normal approximation is applicable (if n is large and neither P nor q is very near 1). Using this approximation, one tests He: Pl = P2 = ... = Pk against the alternative hypothesis that all k proportions are not the same, as (24.62) (Pazer and Swanson, 1972: 187-190). Here, k

2: Xi

[5=

(24.63)

k

i= I

is a pooled proportion, q = 1 - Zj, and X2 has k - 1 degrees of freedom. Example 24.17 demonstrates this procedure, which is equivalent to X2 testing of a contingency table with two rows (or two columns). We can instead test whether k p's are equal not only to each other but to a specified constant, Po (i.e., H«: PI = P2 = ... = Pk = po)· This is done by computing X2

=

±

i=l

(Xi - niPo)2, niPo(l

- po)

which is then compared to the critical value of X2 for k (rather than k - 1) degrees of freedom (Kulkarni and Shah, 1995, who also discuss one-tailed testing of Ha, where HA is that Pi =1=Po for at least one i). If each of the several proportions to be compared to each other is the mean of a set of proportions, then we can use the multisample testing procedures of Chapters 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15. To do so, the individual data should be transformed as suggested in Section 13.3, preferably by Equation 13.7 or 13.8, if possible.

Section 24.14 MULTIPLE COMPARISONS

Multiple Comparisons for Proportions

557

FOR PROPORTIONS

(a) Comparisons of All Pairs of Proportions. If the null hypothesis Ho: PI = = ... = Pk (see Section 24.13) is rejected, then we may desire to determine specifically which population proportions are different from which others. The following procedure (similar to that of Levy, 1975a) allows for testing analogous to the Tukey test introduced in Section 11.1. An angular transformation (Section 13.3) of each sample proportion is to be used. If but not X and n, is known, then Equation 13.5 may be used. If, however, X and n are known, then either Equation 13.7 or 13.8 is preferable. (The latter two equations give similar results, except for small or large where Equation 13.8 is probably better.) As shown in Example 24.18, the multiple comparison procedure is similar to that in Chapter 11 (the Tukey test being in Section 11.1). The standard error for each comparison is, in degrees,*

Overall conclusion: P4 = PI = P2 and P3 = P4 = PI, which is the kind of ambiguous result described at the end of Section 11.1. By chi-square analysis (Example 23.6) it was concluded that P3 =1=P4 = PI = P2; it is likely that the present method lacks power for this set of data. Equation 13.8 is used for the transformations. For sample 3, for example, X/en + 1) = 16/81 = 0.198 and (X + l)/(n + 1) = 17/81 = 0.210, so P3 = ~[arcsin .)0.198 + arcsin .)0.210] = ~[26.4215 + 27.2747] = 26.848. If we use Appendix Table B.24 to obtain the two needed arcsines, we have 1 P3 = 2[26.42 + 27.27] = 26.845. "The constant 820.70 square degrees results from (1800 /27T)2, which follows from the variances reported by Anscombe (1948) and Freeman and Tukey (1950).

Use of the normal approximation to the binomial is possible in multiple-comparison testing (e.g., Marascuilo, 1971: 380-382); but the preceding procedure is preferable, even though it-and the methods to follow in this section-may lack desirable power. (b) Comparison of a Control Proportion to Each Other Proportion. A procedure analogous to the Dunnett test of Section 11.3 may be used as a multiple comparison test where instead of comparing all pairs of proportions we desire to compare one proportion (designated as the "control") to each of the others.

Trends Among Proportions

TRENDSAMONG PROPORTIONS In a 2 x c contingency table (2 rows and c columns), the columns may have a natural quantitative sequence. For example, they may represent different ages, different lengths of time after a treatment, different sizes, different degrees of infection, or different intensities of a treatment. In Example 24.19, the columns represent three age classes of women, and the data are the frequencies with which the 104 women in the sample exhibit a particular skeletal condition. The chi-square contingency-table analysis of Section 23.1 tests the null hypothesis that the occurrence of this condition is independent of age class (i.e., that the population proportion, p, of women with the condition is the same for all three age classes). It is seen, in Example 24.19a, that this hypothesis is rejected, so we conclude that in the sampled population there is a relationship between the two variables (age class and skeletal condition).

In addition, we may ask whether the difference among the three age classes follows a linear trend; that is, whether there is either a greater occurrence of the condition of interest in women of greater age or a lesser occurrence with greater age. The question of linear trend in a 2 x n contingency table may be addressed by the method promoted by Armitage (1955, 1971: 363-365) and Armitage, Berry, and Matthews (2002: 504-509). To do so, the magnitudes of ages expressed by the age classes may be designated by consecutive equally spaced ordinal scores: X. For example, the "young," "medium," and "older" categories in the present example could be indicated by X's of 1, 2, and 3; or by 0, 1, and 2; or by - 1, 0, and 1; or by 0.5, 1, and 1.5; or by 3, 5, and 7; and so on. The computation for trend is made easier if the scores are consecutive integers centered on zero, so scores of -1,0, and 1 are used in Example 24.19. (If the number of columns, c, were 4, then X's such as - 2, -1,1, and 2, or 1, 0, 2, and 3 could be used.) The procedure divides the contingency-table chi-square into component parts, somewhat as sum-of-squares partitioning is done in analysis of variance. The chisquare of Equation 23.1 may be referred to as the total chi-square, a portion of which can be identified as being due to a linear trend:

and the remainder is identified as not being due to a linear trend: chi-square for departure from linear trend

(24.73)

Associated with these three chi-square values are degrees of freedom of c 1 for X2, 1 for X~ and c - 2 for X~.* This testing for trend among proportions is more powerful than the chi-square test for difference among the c proportions, so a trend might be identified even if the latter chi-square test concludes no significant difference among the proportions. If, in Example 24.19, the data in the second column (16 and 28) were for older women and the data in the third column (18 and 14) were for medium-aged women, the total chi-square would have been the same, but X~ would have been 0.899 [P = 0.34], and it would have been concluded that there was no linear trend with age. In Example 24.19, the presence of a physical condition was analyzed in reference to an ordinal scale of measurement ("young," "medium," and "older"). In other situations, an interval or ratio scale may be encountered. For example, the three columns might have represented age classes of known quantitative intervals. If the three categories were equal intervals of "20.0-39.9 years," "40.0-59.9 years,"and "60.0-79.9 years," then the X's could be set as equally spaced values (for example, as -1,0, and 1) the same as in Example 24.19. However, if the intervals were unequal in size, such as "20.0-29.9 years," "30.0-49.9 years,"and "50.0-79.9 years," then the X's should reflect the midpoints of the intervals, such as by 25, 40, and 65; or (with the subtraction of25 years) by 0,15, and 40; or (with subtraction of 40 years) by -15,0, and 25. THE FISHER EXACT TEST In the discussion of 2 X 2 contingency tables, Section 23.3c described contingency tables that have two fixed margins, and Section 23.3d recommended analyzing such tables using a contingency-corrected chi-square (X~ or X~), or a procedure known as the Fisher exact test,' The test using chi-square corrected for continuity is an approximation of the Fisher exact test, with X~ the same as X~ or routinely a better approximation than X~. The Fisher exact test is based upon hypergeometric probabilities (see Section 24.2). The needed calculations can be tedious, but some statistical computer programs (e.g., Zar, 1987, and some statistical packages) can perform the test. Although this book recommends this test only for 2 X 2 tables having both margins fixed, some researchers use it for the other kinds of 2 X 2 tables (see Section 23.3d).

* Armitage (1955) explained that this procedure may be thought of as a regression of the sample proportions, Pj' on the ordinal scores, Xj, where the p/s are weighted by the column totals, Cj; or as a regression of n pairs of Y and X, where Y is 1 for each of the observations in row 1 and is 0 for each of the observations in row 2. tNamed for Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890-1962), a monumental statistician recognized as a principal founder of modern statistics, with extremely strong influence in statistical theory and methods, including many areas of biostatistics (see, for example, Rao, 1992). At about the same time he published this procedure (Fisher, 1934: 99-101; 1935), it was also presented by Yates (1934) and Irwin (1935), so it is sometimes referred to as the Fisher-Yates test or Fisher-Irwin test. Yates (1984) observed that Fisher was probably aware of the exact-test procedure as early as 1926. Although often referred to as a statistician, R. A. Fisher also had a strong reputation as a biologist (e.g., Neyman, 1967), publishing-from 1912 to 1962-140 papers on genetics as well as 129 on statistics and 16 on other topics (Barnard, 1990).

(a) One-Tailed Testing. Consider the data of Example 23.4. If species 1 is naturally found in more rapidly moving waters, it would be reasonable to propose that it is better adapted to resist current, and the test could involve one-tailed hypotheses: H«: The proportion of snails of species 1 resisting the water current is no greater than (i.e., less than or equal to) the proportion of species 2 withstanding the current, and HA: The proportion of snails of species 1 resisting the current is greater than the proportion of species 2 resisting the current. The Fisher exact test proceeds as in Example 24.20.

Therefore, if the null hypothesis is true, the probability of the array of data in the observed table or in more extreme tables is 0.02119. As this probability is less than 0.05, Ho is rejected. Note that if the hypotheses had been Ho: Snail species 2 has no greater ability to resist current than species 1 and H A: Snail species 2 has greater ability to resist current than species 1, then we would have observed that the sample data are not in the direction of HA and would not reject Ho, without even computing probabilities. Instead of computing this exact probability of He; we may consult Appendix Table B.28, for n = 30, m, = 11, rn: = 14; and the one-tailed critical values off, for a = 0.05, are 2 and 8. As the observed f in the cell corresponding to mj = 11 and rn: = 14 is 2, Ho may be rejected. The probability of the observed contingency table occurring by chance, given the row and column totals, may be computed using Equation 24.76 or 24.77. Then the probability is calculated for each possible table having observed data more extreme that those of the original table. If the smallest observed frequency in the original table is designated as fo (which is 2 in Example 24.20), the more extreme tables are those that have smaller values of fo (which would be 1 and 0 in this example). (If the smallest observed frequency occurs in two cells of the table, then fo is designated to be the one with the smaller frequency diagonally opposite of it.) The null hypothesis is tested by examining the sum of the probabilities of the observed table and of all the more extreme tables. This procedure yields the exact probability (hence the name of the test) of obtaining this set of tables by chance if the null hypothesis is true; and if this probability is less than or equal to the significance level, a, then Hi, is rejected.

Note that the quantity RI! R2! CI! C2!jn! appears in each of the probability calculations using Equation 24.76 and therefore need be computed only once. It is only the value of fll !f12!hi! f22! that needs to be computed anew for each table. To undertake these computations. the use of logarithms is advised for all but the smallest tables; and Appendix Table B.40 provides logarithms of factorials. It is also obvious that, unless the four cell frequencies are small. this test calculation is tedious without a computer. An alternative to computing the exact probability in the Fisher exact test of 2 x 2 tables is to consult Appendix Table B.28 to obtain critical values with which to test null hypotheses for n up to 30. We examine the four marginal frequencies, RI, R2, Cl, and C2; and we designate the smallest of the four as nll. If nll is a row total, then we call the smaller of the two column totals nl2; if nll is a column total, then the smaller row total is mi. In Example 24.20, ml = R2 and m; = Cl; and the one-tailed critical values in Appendix Table 8.28, for ll' = 0.05, are 2 and 8. The observed frequency in the cell corresponding to marginal totals m I and m2 is called f; and if f is equal to or more extreme than 2 or 8 (i.e .. if f :5 2 or f 2: 8). then Ho is rejected. However, employing tables of critical values results in expressing a range of probabilities associated with Ho; and a noteworthy characteristic of the exact test-namely the exact probability-is absent. Bennett and Nakamura (1963) published tables for performing an exact test of 2 X 3 tables where the three column (or row) totals are equal and n is as large as 60. Computer programs have been developed to perform exact testing of r x c tables where rand/or c is greater than 2. Feldman and Kluger (1963) demonstrated a simpler computational procedure for obtaining the probabilities of tables more extreme than those of the observed table. It will not be presented here because the calculations shown on this section and in Section 24.16c are straightforward and because performance of the Fisher exact test is so often performed via computer programs.

(b) Two-Tailed Testing.

For data in a 2 x 2 contingency table, the Fisher exact test may also be used to test two-tailed hypotheses, particularly when both margins of the table are fixed. Example 24.2l demonstrates this for the data and hypotheses of Example 23.4. What is needed is the sum of the probabilities of the observed table and of all tables more extreme in the same direction as the observed data. This is the probability obtained for the one-tailed test shown in Example 24.20. If either R, = R2 or Cl = C2, then the two-tailed probability is two times the one-tailed probability. Otherwise, it is not, and the probability for the second tail is computed as follows. * Again designating fa to be the smallest of the four observed frequencies and ml to be the smallest of the four marginal frequencies in the original table, a 2 x 2 table is formed by replacing fo with mJ - 0, and this is the most extreme table in the

second tail. This is shown as Table C in Example 24.21. The probability of that table is calculated with Equation 24.76 or 24.77; if it is greater than the probability of the original table, then the two-tailed probability equals the one-tailed probability and the computation is complete. If the probability of the newly formed table is not greater than that of the original table, then it contributes to the probability of the second tail and the calculations continue. The probability of the next less extreme table is *Some (e.g., Dupont, 19R6) recommend that the two-tailed probability should be determined as two times the one-tailed probability. Others (e.g .. Lloyd, 199R) argue against that calculation, and that practice is not employed here; and it can he noted that the second tail may be much smaller than the first and such a doubling procedure could result in a computed two-tailed probability that is greater than I.

Note that the quantity RI! R2! CI! C2!jn! appears in each of the probability calculations using Equation 24.76 and therefore need be computed only once. It is only the value of III !/12!hl !/22! that needs to be computed anew for each table. To undertake these computations, the use of logarithms is advised for all but the smallest tables; and Appendix Table B.40 provides logarithms of factorials. It is also obvious that, unless the four cell frequencies are small, this test calculation is tedious without a computer. An alternative to computing the exact probability in the Fisher exact test of 2 x 2 tables is to consult Appendix Table B.28 to obtain critical values with which to test null hypotheses for n up to 30. We examine the four marginal frequencies, Ri ; R2, CI, and C2; and we designate the smallest of the four as m I. If 111 I is a row total, then we call the smaller of the two column totals fIl2; if 1111 is a column total, then the smaller row total is mz- In Example 24.20, 1111 = R2 and m: = CI; and the one-tailed critical values in Appendix Table B.28, for ll' = 0.05, are 2 and 8. The observed frequency in the cell corresponding to marginal totals m I and m: is called I; and if I is equal to or more extreme than 2 or 8 (i.e., if I :::; 2 or I 2: 8), then Ho is rejected. However, employing tables of critical values results in expressing a range of probabilities associated with Ho; and a noteworthy characteristic of the exact test-namely the exact probability-is absent. Bennett and Nakamura (1963) published tables for performing an exact test of 2 x 3 tables where the three column (or row) totals are equal and n is as large as 60. Computer programs have been developed to perform exact testing of r x c tables where rand/or c is greater than 2. Feldman and Kluger (1963) demonstrated a simpler computational procedure for obtaining the probabilities of tables more extreme than those of the observed table. It will not be presented here because the calculations shown on this section and in Section 24.16c are straightforward and because performance of the Fisher exact test is so often performed via computer programs. (b) Two-Tailed Testing. For data in a 2 x 2 contingency table, the Fisher exact test may also be used to test two-tailed hypotheses, particularly when both margins of the table are fixed. Example 24.21 demonstrates this for the data and hypotheses of Example 23.4. What is needed is the sum of the probabilities of the observed table and of all tables more extreme in the same direction as the observed data. This is the probability obtained for the one-tailed test shown in Example 24.20. If either RI = R2 or CI = C2, then the two-tailed probability is two times the one-tailed probability. Otherwise, it is not, and the probability for the second tail is computed as follows.* Again designating ji, to be the smallest of the four observed frequencies and ml to be the smallest of the four marginal frequencies in the original table, a 2 x 2 table is formed by replacing fi) with m[ - 0, and this is the most extreme table in the second tail. This is shown as Table C in Example 24.21. The probability of that table is calculated with Equation 24.76 or 24.77; if it is greater than the probability of the original table, then the two-tailed probability equals the one-tailed probability and the computation is complete. If the probability of the newly formed table is not greater than that of the original table, then it contributes to the probability of the second tail and the calculations continue. The probability of the next less extreme table is *Some (e.g., Dupont, 19R6) recommend that the two-tailed probability should be determined as two times the one-tailed probability. Others (e.g., Lloyd, 199H) argue against that calculation, and that practice is not employed here; and it can be noted that the second tail may be much smaller than the first and such a doubling procedure could result in a computed two-tailed probability that is greater than I.

EXAMPLE 24.21 A Two-Tailed Fisher Exact Test, Using the Data and Hypotheses of Example 23.4 The probability of the observed table was found, in Example 24.20, to be 0.01906, and the one-tailed probability was calculated to be 0.02119. In determining the one-tailed probability, the smallest cell frequency (fa) in the most extreme table (Table B) was 0, and the smallest marginal frequency (mJ) was 11. So mI - fa = 11 - 0 = 11 is inserted in place offo to form the most extreme table in the opposite tail: Table C: 14

The Table F cumulative probability (0.03549) is larger than the probability of the original table (0.02119), so the Table F probability is not considered a relevant part of the second tail. The second tail consists of the following:

and the two-tailed P is, therefore, 0.02119 + 0.00470 = 0.02589. As this is less than 0.05, we may reject Ho. Note that X~ in Example 23.4 has a probability close to that of this Fisher exact test. If using Appendix Table B.28, n = 30, /111 = 11, /112 = 14, and the f corresponding to /11I and /112in the observed table is 2. As the two-tailed critical values of f, for a = 0.05, are 2 and 9, Hi, is rejected. determined; that table (Table D in Example 24.21) has cell frequency fo increased by 1, keeping the marginal frequencies the same. The two probabilities calculated for the second tail are summed and, if the sum is no greater than the probability of the original table, that cell frequency is again increased by 1 and a new probability computed. This process is continued as long as the sum of the probabilities in that tail is no greater than the probability of the original table. (c) Probabilities Using Binomial Coefficients. Ghent (1972), Leslie (1955), Ley ton (1968), and Sakoda and Cohen (1957) have shown how the use of binomial coefficients can eliminate much of the laboriousness of Fisher-exact -test computations, and Ghent (1972) and Carr (1980) have expanded these considerations to tables with more than two rows and/or columns. Using Appendix Table B.26a, this computational procedure requires much less effort than the use of logarithms of factorials, and it is at least as accurate. It may be employed for moderately large sample sizes, limited by the number of digits on one's calculator. Referring back to Equation 24.75, the probability of a given 2 X 2 table is seen to be the product of two binomial coefficients divided by a third. The numerator of Equation 24.75 consists, of one binomial coefficient representing the number of ways Cl items can be combined fll at a time (or hi at a time, which is equivalent) and a second coefficient expressing the number of ways C2 items can be combined Iv: at a time (or, equivalently, [n at a time). And the denominator denotes the number of ways n items can be combined RI at a time (or R2 at a time). Appendix Table B.26a provides a large array of binomial coefficients, and the proper selection of those required leads to simple computation of the probability of a 2 x 2 table. (See Section 5.3 for discussion of combinations.) The procedure is demonstrated in Example 24.22, for the data in Example 24.20. Consider the first row of the contingency table and determine the largest III and the smallest f12 that are possible without exceeding the row totals and column totals. These are f11 == 14 andfl2 = 5, which sum to the row total of 19. (Other frequencies, such as 15 and 4, also add to 19, but the frequencies in the first column are limited to 14.) In a table where fll < f12, switch the two columns of the 2 x 2 table before performing these calculations.

We shall need to refer to the binomial coefficients for what Appendix Table B.26a refers to as n = 14 and n = 16, for these are the two column totals (el and C2) in the contingency table in Example 24.20. We record, from Appendix Table B.26a, the binomial coefficient for n = CI = 14 and X = ill = 14 (which is 1), the coefficient for n = C2 = 16 and X = [vi = 5 (which is 4,368), and the product of the two coefficients (which is 4,368). Then we record the binomial coefficients of the next less extreme table; that is, the one with ill = 13 andil2 = 6 (that is, coefficients of 14 and 8,008) and their product (i.e., 112,112). This process is repeated for each possible table until ill can be no

smaller (and il2 can be no larger): that is, ill = 3 and i12 = 16. The sum of all the coefficient products (54,627,300 in this example) is the number of ways n things may be combined RI at a time (where n is the total of the frequencies in the 2 x 2 table); this is the binomial coefficient for n (the total frequency) and X = RI (and in the present example this coefficient is 30ell = 54,627,300). Determining this coefficient is a good arithmetic check against the sum of the products of the several coefficients of individual contingency tables. Dividing the coefficient product for a contingency table by the sum of the products yields the probability of that table. Thus, the table of observed data in Example 24.20 has ill = 14 and [v: = 5, and we may compute 1,041,040/54,627,300 = 0.01906, exactly the probability obtained in Example 24.20 using logarithms of factorials. The probability of the one-tailed test employs the sum of those coefficient products equal to or smaller than the product for the observed table and in the same tail as the observed table. In the present example, this tail would include products 4,368,112,112, and 1,041,040, the sum of which is 1,157,520, and 1,157,520/54,627,300 = 0.02119, which is the probability calculated in Example 24.20. To obtain the probability for the two-tailed test, we add to the one-tailed probability the probabilities of all tables in the opposite tail that have coefficient products equal to or less than that of the observed table. In our example these products are 240,240, 16,016, and 364, their sum is 256,620, and 256,620/54,627,300 = 0.00470; the probabilities of the two tails are 0.02119 and 0.00470, which sum to the two-tailed probability of 0.02589 (which is what was calculated in Example 24.21). PAIRED-SAMPLE

TESTING OF NOMINAL-SCALE

DATA

(a) Data in a 2 x 2 Table. Nominal-scale data may come from paired samples. A 2 x 2 table containing data that are dichotomous (i.e., the nominal-scale variable has two possible values) may be analyzed by the McNemar test (McNemar, 1947). For example, assume that we wish to test whether two skin lotions are equalIy effective in relieving a poison-ivy rash. Both of the lotions might be tested on each of 50 patients with poison-ivy rashes on both arms, by applying one lotion to one arm and the other lotion to the other arm (using, for each person, a random selection of which arm gets which lotion). The results of the experiment can be summarized in a table such as in Example 24.23, where the results for each of the 50 patients consist of a pair of data (i.e., the outcomes of using the two lotions on each patient). As with other 2 x 2 tables (such as in Section 23.3), the datum in row i and columnj will be designated as tu Thus, ill = 12, [v: = 5, i21 = 11, and i22 = 22; and the total of the four frequencies is n = 50. The two-tailed null hypothesis is that, in the sampled population of people who might be treated with these two medications, the proportion of them that would obtain relief from lotion A (call it PI) is the same as the proportion receiving relief from lotion B (call it P2); that is, Ho: PI = P2 (vs. HA: PI =I- P2). In the sample, 12 patients (fll ) experienced relief from both lotions and 22 (f22) had relief from neither lotion. The proportion of people in the sample who experienced relief from lotion A is PI = (ill + 121)/ n = (12 + 11 )/50 = 0.46, and the proportion benefiting from lotion B is = (ill + iI2)/ n = (12 + 5)/50 = 0.34. The sample estimate of P I - P2 is

That is, of the four data in the 2 X 2 table, only [vi and hi are needed to test the hypotheses. The test is essentially a goodness-of-fit procedure (Section 22.1) where we ask whether the ratio of [v: to f2l departs significantly from 1 : 1. Thus, the hypotheses could also be stated as Ho: !{J = 1 and H A: !{J =F 1, where" '" is the population ratio estimated by f12/hl . The goodness-of-fit test for this example could proceed using Equation 22.1, but for this hypothesis it is readily performed via 2

X =

(24.79)

which is equivalent to using the normal deviate for a two-tailed test: Z

=

Ifl2 - f2l1 ~f12 + f2l

(24.80) .

Because X2 and Z are continuous distributions and the data to be analyzed are counts (i.e., integers), some authors have employed corrections for continuity. A common one is the Yates correction for continuity (introduced in Section 22.2). This is accomplished using Equation 22.3 or, equivalently, with

Xz.

= I (f12 - h II - 1)2 [v:

+ hi

(24.81)

which is the same as employing (24.82) The calculation of Xz. for this test is demonstrated in Example 24.23. A McNemar test using X2 operates with the probability of a Type I error much closer to Cl' than testing with Xz., although that probability will occasionally be a little greater than Cl'. That is, the test can be liberal, rejecting Hi, more often than it should at the Cl' level of significance. Use of will routinely result in a test that is conservative, rejecting Ho less often than it should and having less power than employing X2. Often, as in Example 24.23, the same conclusion is reached using the test with and without a correction for continuity. Bennett and Underwood (1970) and others have advised that the continuity correction should not generally be used. Because this test employs only two of the four tabulated data (f12 and hd, the results are the same regardless of the magnitude of the other two counts (fll and f22), which are considered as tied data and ignored in the analysis. If [v: and hi are small, this test does not work well. If [v: + 121 :S: 10, the binomial test (Section 24.5) is recommended, with n = [v: + f2l and X = fl2 (or

xz.

Another type of data amenable to McNemar testing results from the situation where experimental responses are recorded before and after some event, in which case the procedure may be called the "McNemar test for change." For example, we might record whether students saying the plan to pursue a career in microbiology, "The symbol t/f is the lowercase Greck letter psi. (See Appendix A.)

The McNemar test should not be confused with 2 x 2 contingency-table analysis (Section 23.3). Contingency-table data are analyzed using a null hypothesis of independence between rows and columns, whereas in the case of data subjected to the McNemar test, there is intentional association between the row and column data. (b) The One-Tailed McNemar Test. Using the normal deviate (Z) as the test statistic, one-tailed hypotheses can be tested. So, for example, the hypotheses for a poison ivy-treatment experiment could be He: The proportion of people experiencing relief with lotion A is not greater than (i.e., is less than or equal to) the proportion having relief with lotion B, versus HA : The proportion of people experiencing relief with lotion A is greater than the proportion obtaining relief with lotion B. And Ho would be rejected if Z (or Zc, if using the continuity correction) were greater than or equal toZa(l) andfs, > f12. (c) Power and Sample Size for the McNemar Test. The ability of the McNemar test to reject a null hypothesis, when the hypothesis is false, may be estimated by computing Z/3( I) =

(Connett, Smith, and McHugh, 1987). Here, n is the number of pairs to be used (i.e., n = fll + [v: + .121 + f22); p is an estimate, as from a pilot study, of the proportion fl2/n or f2l/n, whichever is smaller; I/J is the magnitude of difference desired to be detected by the hypothesis test, expressed as the ratio in the population of either fI2 to .121, or .121 to f12, whichever is larger; and Za is Za(2) or Za(l), depending upon whether the test is two-tailed or one-tailed, respectively. Then, using Appendix Table B.2 or the last line in Appendix Table B.3 (i.e., for t with u = (0), determine f3( I ); and the estimated power of the test is 1 - f3( 1). This estimation procedure is demonstrated in Example 24.24. Similarly, we can estimate the sample size necessary to perform a McNemar test with a specified power: [Za~I/J n

(d) Data in Larger Tables. The McNemar test may be extended to square tables larger than 2 x 2 (Bowker, 1948; Maxwell, 1970). What we test is whether the upper right corner of the table is symmetrical with the lower left corner. This is done by ignoring the data along the diagonal containingji, (i.e., row 1, column 1; row 2, column 2; etc.). We compute

Determination of Power of the McNemar Test

Considering the data of Example 24.23 to be from a pilot study, what would be the probability of rejecting Hi, if 200 pairs of data were used in a future study, if the test were performed at the 0.05 level of significance and if the population ratio of 121 to 112were at least 2? From the pilot study, using n = 51 pairs of data, 112/n = 6/51 = 0.1176 and I2I/n = 10/51 = 0.1961; so p = 0.1176. We specify a(2) = 0.05, so ZO.05(2) = 1.9600 (from the last line of Appendix Table B.3). And we also specify a new sample size of n = 200 and !/J = 2. Therefore,

[13( 1) = 0.19 and power = 0.81.] and where r is the number of rows (or, equivalently, the number of columns) in the table of data. This is demonstrated in Example 24.26. Note that Equation 24.85 involves the testing of a series of 1 : 1 ratios by what is essentially an expansion of Equation 24.79. Each of these 1 : 1 ratios derives from a unique pairing of the r categories taken two at a time. Recall (Equation 5.10) that the number of ways that r items can be combined two at a time is rC2 = r!/[2(r - 2)!]. So, in Example 24.26, where there are three categories, there are 3C2 = 3!/[2(3 - 2)!] = 3 pairings, resulting in three terms in the X2 summation. If there were four categories of religion, then the summation would involve 4C2 = 4!/[2(4 - 2)!] = 6 pairings, and 6 X2 terms; and so on. For data of this type in a 2 x 2 table, Equation 24.85 becomes Equation 24.79, and Equation 24.86 yields lJ = 1. (e) Testing for Effect of Treatment Order. If two treatments are applied sequentially to a group of subjects, we might ask whether the response to each treatment depended on the order in which the treatments were administered. For example, suppose we have two medications for the treatment of poison-ivy rash, but, instead of the situation in Example 24.23, they are to be administered orally rather than by external

Determination of Sample Size for the McNemar Test

Considering the data of Example 24.23 to be from a pilot study, how many pairs of data would be needed to have a 90% probability of rejecting the two-tailed H« if a future test were performed at the 0.05 level of significance and the ratio of 121 to 112 in the population were at least 2? As in Example 24.24, p = 0.1176 and Z,,(2) = 1.9600. In addition, we specify that I/J = 2 and that the power ofthe test is to be 0.90 [so 13( 1) = 0.10). Therefore, the required sample size is [Z"(2)~1/J + 1 + Z{3(l)~(1/J + 1) - p(1/J n = ~--------------------------------~~ p(1/J - 1)2 _ [1.9600J2+}

Thus, in this example, both arms receive medication at the same time, but the oral medications must be given at different times. Gart (1969a) provides the following procedure to test for the difference in response between two sequentially applied treatments and to test whether the order of application had an effect on the response.

Logistic Regression

577

LOGISTIC REGRESSION Previous discussions of regression (Chapters 17,20, and 21) considered data measured on a continuous (i.e., ratio or interval) scale, where there are measurements of a dependent variable (Y) associated with measurements of one or more independent variables (X's). However, there are situations (commonly involving clinical, epidemiological, or sociological data) where the dependent variable is measured on a nominal scale; that is, where the data are in two or more categories. For example, a sample of men could be examined for the presence of arterial plaque, and this information is recorded together with the age of each man. The mean age of men with plaque and the mean of those without plaque could be compared via a two-sample t test (Section 8.1). But the data can be analyzed in a different fashion, deriving a quantitative expression of the relationship between the presence of plaque and the age of the subject and allowing for the prediction of the probability of plaque at a specified age. Regression data with Y recorded on a dichotomous scale do not meet the assumptions of the previously introduced regression methods, assumptions such as that the Y's and residuals (E'S; Section 20.2) have come from a normal distribution at each value of X and have the same variance at all values of X. So another statistical procedure must be sought. The most frequently employed analysis of such data is logistic regression. * A brief introduction to logistic regression is given here, employing terminology largely analogous to that in Chapters 17 and 20.t Because of the intense calculations required, users of this regression technique will depend upon computer programs, which are found in several statistical computer packages, and will typically benefit from consultation with a statistician familiar with the procedures. (a) Simple Logistic Regression. The simplest-and most common-logistic regression situation is where the categorical data (Y) are binomial, also known as dichotomous (i.e., the data consist of each observation recorded as belonging in one of two categories). Each value of Y is routinely recorded as "1" or "0" and might, for example, refer to a characteristic as being "present" (1) or "absent" (0), or to subjects being "with" (1) or "without" (0) a disease." Logistic regression considers the probability (P) of encountering a Y of 1 at a given X in the population that was sampled. So, for example, p could be the probability of * A similar procedure, but one that is less often preferred, is known as discriminant analysis. What statisticians refer to as the general linear model underlies several statistical techniques, including analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, multivariate analysis of variance, linear regression, logistic regression, and discriminant analysis. "Logistic regression is a wide-ranging topic and is covered in portions of comprehensive books on regression (e.g., Chatterjee and Hadi, 2006: Chapter 12; Glantz and Slinker, 2001: Chapter 12; Hair et al., 2006: Chapter 5; Kutner, Nachtshcim, and Neter, 2004: Chapter 14; Meyers, Garnst, and Guarino, 2006: Chapter 6A and 68; Montgomery, Peck, and Vining, 2001: Section 14.2; Pedhazur, 1997: Chapter 17; Vittinghoff et al., 2005: Chapter 6): in books on the analysis of categorical data (e.g., Agresti, 2002: Chapters 5 and 6: Agresti, 2007: Chapters 4 and 5; Fleiss, Levin, and Paik, 2003: Chapter 11); and in works that concentrate specifically on logistic regression (e.g .. Garson, 2006; Hosmer and Lemeshow, 2000; Kleinbaum and Klein, 2002; Menard, 2002; Pampel, 2(00). tDesignating observations of Y as "0" or "I" is thus an example of using a "dummy variable," first described in Section 20.10. Any two integers could be used, but 0 and 1 are almost always employed, and this results in the mean of the Y's being the probability of Y = 1.

and a is often written as boo Logistic regression employs the concept of the odds of an event (briefly in Section 5.5), namely the probability of the event occurring expressed the probability of the event not occurring. Using the designations p = and q = 1 - P P( Y = 0), the odds can be expressed by these four statements: P( Y = 1) or P( Y = 1) or _P_ or E!.. 1 - P( Y = 1)

mentioned relative to P( Y = 1) equivalent (24.89)

and the fourth will be employed in the following discussion. A probability, p, must lie within a limited range (0 :0:: P :0:: 1).* However, odds, p/q, have no upper limit. For example, if p = 0.1, odds = 0.1/0.9 = 0.11; if p = 0.5, odds = 0.5/0.5 = 1; if P = 0.9, odds = 0.9/0.1 = 9; if P = 0.97, odds = 0.97/0.03 = 32.3; and so on. Expanding the odds terminology, if, for example, a population contains 60% females and 40% males, it is said that the odds are 0.60/0.40 = "6 to 4" or "1.5 to 1" in favor of randomly selecting a female from the population, or 1.5 to 1 against selecting a male. In order to obtain a linear model using the regression terms 0' and {3X, statisticians utilize the natural logarithm of the odds, a quantity known as a logit; this is sometimes * If a linear regression were performed on p versus X, predicted values of p could be less than 0 or greater than 1, an untenable outcome. This is another reason why logistic regression should be used when dealing with a categorical dependent variable.

of the dependent variable:

legit = In(odds) = In(~}

(24.90)

For 0 < odds < 1.0, the logit is a negative number (and it becomes farther from 0 the closer the odds are to 0); for odds = 0.5, the logit is 0; and for odds> 0, the logit is a positive number (and it becomes farther from 0 the closer the odds are to 1). Using the logit transformation, the population linear regression equation and sample regression equations are, respectively, logit for p = (\' and logit for

This linear relationship is shown in Figure 24.2b. Determining a and b for Equation 24.92 is performed by an iterative process termed maximum likelihood estimation, instead of by the least-squares procedure used in the linear regressions of previous chapters. The term maximum likelihood refers to arriving at the a and b that are most likely to estimate the population parameters underlying the observed sample of data. As with the regression procedures previously discussed, the results of a logistic regression analysis will include a and b as estimates of the population parameters (\' and f3, respectively. Computer output will routinely present these, with the standard error of b (namely, Sb), confidence limits for f3, and a test of Ho: f3 = O. In logistic regression there are no measures corresponding to the coefficient of determination (r2) in linear regression analysis (Section 17.3), but some authors have suggested statistics to express similar concepts. For a logistic relationship, a plot of p versus X will display an S-shaped curve rising from the lower left to the upper right, such as that in Figure 24.2a. In such a graph, p is near zero for very small values of X, it increases gradually as X increases, then it increases much more rapidly with further increase in X, and then it increases at a slow rate for larger X's, gradually approaching 1.0. Figure 24.2a is a graph for a logistic equation with (\' = - 2.0 and {3 = 1.0. The graph would shift to the left by 1 unit of X for each increase of (\'by 1, and the rise in p would be steeper with a larger f3. If f3 were negative instead of positive, the curve would be a reverse 5 shape, rising from the lower right to the upper left of the graph, instead of from the lower left to the upper right." For a l-unit increase in X, the odds increase by a factor of ef3. If, for example, f3 = 1.0, then the odds for X = 4 would be e1.0 (namely, 2.72) times the odds for X = 3. And a one-unit increase in X will result in a unit increase in the logit of p. So, if f3 = 1.0, then the logit for X = 4 would be 1.0 larger than the logit for X = 3. If f3 is negative, then the odds and logit decrease instead of increase. Once the logistic-regression relationship is determined for a sample of data, it may be used to predict the probability of X for a given X. Equation 24.92 yields a logit of p for the specified X; then odds =

* Another representation of binary Y data in an S-shaped relationship to X is that of probits, based upon a cumulative normal distribution. The use of logits is simpler and is preferred by many.

which is analogous to the linear-regression test of that hypothesis using t (Section 17.3b). This is known as the Wald test"; sometimes, with exactly the same result, the test statistic used is X2 = Z2, with 1 degree of freedom. In further analogy with linear regression, confidence limits for {3are obtainable as (24.96) Assessing Hi: {3 = 0 and expressing a confidence interval for {3may also be done using a computer-intensive process known as likelihood-ratio, or log-likelihood, testing. It has been noted (e.g., by Hauck and Donner, 1977; Menard, 2002: 43; Pampel, 2000: 30) that when b is large, its standard error (Sb) is inflated, thereby increasing the probability of a Type II error in a Wald test (and thus decreasing the power of the test). Therefore, it is sometimes recommended that the likelihood-ratio test be used routinely in preference to the commonly encountered Wald test. For the same reason, likelihood-ratio confidence limits can be recommended over those obtained by Equation 24.96. The interpretation of logistic-regression coefficients is discussed more fully in the references cited in the second footnote in Section 24.18. In recommending an adequate number of data for logistic-regression analysis, some authors have suggested that n be large enough that there are at least 10 observations of Y = 1 and at least 10 of Y = O. *Named for Hungarian-born, Vienna-educated, American mathematician and econometrician Abraham Wald (1902-1950).

(b) Multiple Logistic Regression. Just as the concepts and procedures of linear regression with one independent variable, X (Chapter 17), can be expanded into those of linear regression with more than one X (Chapter 20), the basic ideas of logistic regression with one X (Section 24.18a) can be enlarged to those of logistic regression with more than one X. Expanding Equations 24.87-24.87b to equations for multiple logistic regression with m independent variables, Q' + {3X is replaced with Q' + 2.;'~,{3iXi, which is Q' + {3,X, + {32X2 + ... + {3mXI1l; and, in Equations 24.88-24.88b, a + bX is replaced with a + b.X], which is a + b, XI + b2X2 + ... + hmXI1l. Analogous to multiple linear regression, (3i expresses the change in In(logit) for a I-unit change in Xi, with the effects of the other Xi's held constant. Further interpretation of logistic partial-regression coefficients is discussed in the references cited in the second footnote of Section 24.18. The statistical significance of the overall multiple logistic regression model is tested via Ho: {3, = {32 = ... = {3m, which is analogous to the analysis-of-variance testing in multiple linear regression (Section 20.3). The significance of each partialregression coefficient is tested via Ho: {3i = O. As with multiple liner regression, Ho: {3, = {32 = ... = {3m can be rejected while none of the significance tests of individual partial-regression coefficients result in rejection of Ho: {3i = 0 (especially when the conservative Wald test is used). The standardized partial-regression coefficients in multiple linear regression (Section 20.5) cannot be computed for logistic regression, but some authors have proposed similar coefficients. Also, there is no perfect logistic-regression analog to coefficients of determination (R2 and R~ in Section 20.3). Several measures have been suggested by various authors to express the concept of such a coefficient; sometimes they are referred to as "pseudo-A?" values (and some do not have 1.0 as their maximum). Just as with multiple linear-regression analysis, multiple logistic regression is adversely affected by multicolinearity (see Section 20.4a). Logistic analysis does not work well with small numbers of data, and some authors recommend that the sample be large enough that there are at least 10m O's and at least 10m l's for the dependent variable. And, as is the case of multiple linear regression, multiple logistic regression is adversely affected by outliers.

2.;:1

(c) Other Models of Logistic Regression. Though not commonly encountered, the dependent variable can be one that has more than two categories. This is known as a polytomous (or "polychotomous" or "multinomial") variable. Also, the dependent variable can be one that is measured on an ordinal scale but recorded in nominalscale categories. For example, subjects could be classified as "underweight," "normal weight," and "overweight." Logistic regression may also be performed when an independent variable (X) is recorded on a dichotomous nominal scale. For example, the dependent variable could be recorded as hair loss ( Y = 1) or no hair loss (Y = 0) in men, with the independent variable (X) being exposed (X = 1) or not exposed (X = 0) to a certain drug or radiation treatment. Such data can be subjected to a 2 X 2 contingency-table analysis (Section 23.3), where the null hypothesis is that the proportion (p) of men with loss of hair is the same in the treated and nontreated groups. Using logistic regression, however, the null hypothesis is that hair loss is statistically dependent upon receiving the treatment and the relationship between p and whether treatment was applied is quantified. In multiple logistic regression, one or more of the X's may be recorded on a dichotomous scale. So, for example, Y could be recorded as hair loss or no hair loss, X, could

582

Chapter 24


be age (measured on a continuous scale), and X2 could be sex (a dichotomous variable: male or female). Indeed, using dummy variables (introduced in Section 20.10), X's can be recorded on a nominal scale with more than two categories. If all m of the independent variables are nominal and Y is dichotomous, the data could be arranged in a 2 X m contingency table, but different hypotheses would be tested thereby. It is also possible to perform stepwise multiple logistic regression (analogous to the procedures of Section 20.6) in order to determine which of the X's should be in the final regression model, logistic regression with polynomial terms (analogous to Chapter 21), and logistic regression with interaction of independent variables (analogous to Section 20.11). EXERCISES 24.1. If, in a binomial population, p = 0.3 and n = 6, what proportion of the population does X = 2 represent? 24.2.

TESTING TESTING

A random distribution of objects in space is one in which each one of equal portions of the space has the same probability of containing an object, and the occurrence of an object in no way influences the occurrence of any of the other objects. A biological example in one-dimensional space could be the linear distribution of blackbirds along the top of a fence, an example in two-dimensional space could be the distribution of cherry trees in a forest, and an example in three-dimensional space could be the distribution of unicellular algae in water." A random distribution of events in time is one in which each period of time of given length (e.g., an hour or a day) has an equal chance of containing an event, and the occurrence of anyone of the events is independent of the occurrence of any of the other events. An example of events in periods of time could be the numbers of heart-attack patients entering a hospital each day. 25.1 POISSON PROBABILITIES

Dale (ILJXLJ) reported that it appeared earlier in an I X30 memoir of an I X2LJpresentation by Poisson. and Abraham de Moivre (1667 -1754) apparently described it in 171 X (David. 1%2: 16X; Stigler.

The Poisson distrihution is appropriate when there is a small probahility of a single event. as reflected in a small u; and this distrihution is very similar to the hinomial distribution where n is large and p is small. For example, Table 25.1 compares the Poisson distribution where j.L = 1 with the hinomial distribution where n = 100 and p = O.tll (and. therefore. j.L = np = I). Thus. the Poisson distribution has importance in describing binomially distributed events having low probability. Another interesting property of the Poisson distribution is that 2 = u; that is. the variance and the mean are equal. (T

where v = 2(X + 1) (Pearson and Hartley, 1966: 81). This is demonstrated in Example 25.2. L] and L2 are the confidence limits for the population mean and for the population variance. Confidence limits for the population standard deviation, (T, are simply the square roots of L] and L2. The confidence limits, L) and L2 (or their square roots), are not symmetrical around the parameter to which they refer. This procedure is a fairly good approximation. If confidence limits are desired to be accurate to more decimal places than given by the available critical values of we may engage in the more tedious process of examining the tails of the Poisson distribution (e.g., see Example 25.3) to determine the value of X that cuts off al2 of each tail. Baker (2002) and Schwertman and Martinez (1994) discuss several approximations to L] and L2, but the best of them require more computational effort than do the exact limits given previously, and they are all poor estimates of those limits.

GOODNESS OF FIT FOR THE POISSON DISTRIBUTION

The goodness of fit of a set of data to the Poisson distribution is a test of the null hypothesis that the data are distributed randomly within the space that was sampled. This may be tested by chi-square (Section 22.3), as was done with the binomial distribution in Section 34.4. When tabulating the observed frequencies (Ji) and the expected freq~encies (f;), the frequencies in the tails of the distribution should be pooled so no fi is less than l.0 (Cochran, 1954). The degrees of freedom are k - 2 (where k is the number of categories of X remaining after such pooling). Example 25.3 fits a set of data to a Poisson distribution, using the sample mean, X, as an estimate of J.L in Equations 25.2 and 25.7. The G statistic (Section 22.7) may be used for goodness-of-fit analysis instead of chi-square. It will give equivalent results when nj k is large; if nj k is very small, G is preferable to X2 (Rao and Chakravarti, 1956). If fL were known for the particular population sampled, or if it were desired to assume a certain value of u, then the parameter would not have to be estimated by X, and the degrees of freedom for X2 for G goodness-of-fit testing would be k - l. For example, if the 50 plants in Example 25.1 were considered the only plants of interest and 80 beetles were distributed among them, fL would be 80/50 = 1.6. Then the observed number of beetles Pc!' plant could be counted and those numbers compared to the expected frequencies (f) determined in Example 25.1 for a random distribution. It is only when this parameter is specified that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit procedure (Section 22.8) may be applied (Massey, 1951).

EXAMPLE 25.3

Fitting the Poisson Distribution

Thirty plots of ground were examined within an abandoned golf course, each plot being the same size; a total of74 weeds were counted in the 30 plots. The frequency f is the number of plots found to contain X weeds; P( X) is the probability of X weeds in a plot if the distribution of weeds is random within the golf course.

testing is that the distribution of

• A random distribution of objects in a space is one in which each object has the same probability of occurring in each portion of the space; that is, the occurrence of each object is independent of the occurrence of any other object. There are

Section 25.3

Goodness of Fit for the Poisson Distribution

591

these two kinds of deviation from randomness that will cause rejection of the null hypothesis: • A uniform distribution of objects in a space is one in which there is equal distance between adjacent objects, as if they are repelling each other. • A contagious distribution* (also referred to as a "clumped," "clustered," "patchy," or "aggregated" distribution) in a space is one in which objects are more likely than in a random distribution to occur in the vicinity of other objects, as if they are attracting each other. Figures 25.2 and 25.3 show examples of these three kinds of distributions. If a population has a random (Poisson) distribution, the variance is the same as the mean: that is, 0'2 = J-t and 0'2/ J-t = 1.0. t If the distribution is more uniform than random (said to be "underdispersed"), 0'2 < J-t and 0'2/ J-t < 1.0; and if the distribution is distributed contagiously ("overdispersed"), 0'2 > J-t and 0'2/ J-t > 1.0.

* A mathematical distribution that is sometimes used to describe contagious distributions of biological data is the negative binomial distribution, which is described, for example, by Ludwig and Reynolds (1988: 24-26, 32-35) and PieIou (1977: 278-281), and by Ross and Preece (1985), who credit a 1930 French paper by G. Polya with the first use of the term contagious in this context. David (1995) reported that "negative binomial distribution" is a term first used by M. Greenwood and G. U. Yule, in 1920. t Although a population with a random distribution will always have its mean equal to its variance, Hurlbert (1990), Pie Iou (1967: 155), and others have emphasized that not every population with f.L = u2 has a random distribution.

592

Chapter 25

Testing for Randomness The investigator generally has some control over the size of the space, or the length of the time interval, from which counts are recorded. So a plot size twice as large as that in Example 25.3 might have been used, in which case each f would most likely have been twice the size as in this example, with X of 4.94, instead of 2.47. In analyses using the Poisson distribution, it is desirable to use a sample distribution with a fairly small mean-let us say certainly below 10, preferably below 5, and ideally in the neighborhood of 1. If the mean is too large, then the Poisson too closely resembles the binomial, as well as the normal, distribution. If it is too small, however, then the number of categories, k, with appreciable frequencies will be too small for sensitive analysis. Graphical testing of goodness of fit is sometimes encountered. The reader may consult Gart (1969b) for such considerations.

25.4

THE POISSON DISTRIBUTION

FOR THE BINOMIAL

TEST

The binomial test was introduced in Section 24.5 as a goodness-of-fit test for counts in two categories. If n is large, the binomial test is unwieldy. If p is small, it may be convenient to use the Poisson distribution, for it becomes very similar to the binomial distribution at such p's. (a) One-Tailed Testing. Let us consider the following example. It is assumed (as from a very large body of previous information) that a certain type of genetic mutation naturally occurs in an insect population with a frequency of 0.0020 (i.e., on average in 20 out of 10,000 insects). On exposing a large number of these insects to a particular chemical, we wish to ask whether that chemical increases the rate of this mutation. Thus, we state Ho: p :::;:0.0020 and H II: p > 0.0020. (The general one-tailed hypotheses of this sort would be Ho: p :::;:Po and H A: P > Po, where Po is the proportion of interest in the statistical hypotheses. If we had reason to ask whether some treatment reduced the natural rate of mutations, then the one-tailed test would have used He: P :2- Po and HI\:p < po.) As an example, if performing this exposure experiment for the hypotheses Ho: Po :::;:0.0020 and H II: Po > 0.0020 yielded 28 of the mutations of interest in 8000 insects observed, then the sample mutation rate is p = X / n= 28/8000 = 0.0035. The question is whether the rate of 0.0035 is significantly greater than 0.0020. If we conclude that there is a low probability (i.e.,:::;: a) of a sample rate being at least as large as 0.0035 when the sample is taken at random from a population having a rate of 0.0020, then Ho is to be rejected. The hypotheses could also be stated in terms of numbers, instead of proportions, as He: j1- :::;: j1-O and H A: j1- > j1-0, where j1-0 = pon (which is 0.0020 X 8000 = 16 in this example ). By substituting pon for j1- in Equation 25.1, we determine the probability of observing X = 28 mutations if our sample came from a population with Po = 0.0020. To test the hypothesis at hand, we determine the probability of observing X 2 28 mutations in a sample. (If the alternate hypothesis being considered were HA: p < Po, then we would compute the probability of mutations less than or equal to the number observed.) If the one-tailed probability is less than or equal to a, then Ho is rejected at the a level of significance. This process is shown in Examples 25.4 and 25.5a.

(b) Two-Tailed Testing. If there is no reason, a priori, to hypothesize that a change in mutation rate would be in one specified direction (e.g., an increase) from the natural rate, then a two-tailed test is appropriate. The probability of the observed number of mutations is computed as shown in Example 25.4. Then we calculate and sum all the probabilities (in both tails) that are equal to or smaller than that of the observed. This is demonstrated in Example 25.5b. (c) Power of the Test. Recall that the power of a statistical test is the probability of that test rejecting a null hypothesis that is in fact a false statement about the

The sum of the probabilities in one tail that are :S: 0.00192 is 0.00411; the sum of the probabilities in the other tail that are :S: 0.00192 is 0.00138.

population. We can determine the power of the preceding test when it is performed with a sample size of n at a significance level of Q'. For a one-tailed test, we first determine the critical value of X (i.e., the smallest X that delineates a proportion of the Poisson distribution :S: Q'). Examining the distribution of Example 25.4, for example, for Q' = 0.05, we see that the appropriate X is 24 [for P(X 2': 24) = 0.037), while P( X 2': 23) = 0.058]. We then examine the Poisson distribution having the

Section 25.5

Comparing Two Poisson Counts

595

sample X replace J.Lin Equation 25.1. The power of the test is 2': the probability of an X at least as extreme as the critical value of X.* For a two-tailed hypothesis, we identify one critical value of X as the smallest X that cuts off :5 al2 of the distribution in the upper tail and one as the largest X that cuts off :5 al2 of the lower tail. In Example 25.6, these two critical values for a = 0.05 (i.e., al2 = 0.025) are X = 25 and X = 8 las P( X 2': 25) = 0.022 and P(X :5 8) = 0.022]. Then we examine the Poisson distribution having the sample X replace J.Lin Equation 25.1. As shown in Example 25.6, the power of the two-tailed test is at least as large as the probability of X in the latter Poisson distribution being more extreme than either of the critical values. That is, power 2': P( X2': upper critical value) + P(X:5lower critical value). COMPARING TWO POISSON COUNTS

If we have two counts, XI and X2, each from a population with a Poisson distribution, we can ask whether they are likely to have come from the same population (or from populations with the same mean). The test of Ho: J.LI = J.L2(against HA: J.Ll -=I=- J.L2) is related to the binomial test with p = 0.50 (Przyborowski and Wilenski, 1940; Pearson and Hartley, 1966: 78-79), so that Appendix Table B.27 can be utilized, using n = XI + X2. For the two-tailed test, Ho is rejected if either XI or X2 is:5 the critical value, Ca(2).n' This is demonstrated in Example 25.7. For a one-tailed test of Ho: J.LI:5 J.L2against HA: J.LI> J.L2,we reject Ho if XI > X2 and X2 :5 Ca(l ),n, where n = XI + X2. For He: J.LI2': J.L2and HA: ILl < J.L2,Hi, is rejected if XI < X2 and XI :5 C,,( I ).n, where n = XI + X2· This procedure results in conservative testing, and if n is at least 5, then a normal approximation should be used (Detre and White, 1970; Przyborowski and Wilenski, 1940; Sichel, 1973). For the two-tailed test, Z = IXI ~XI

One fish is found to be infected with 13 parasites and a second fish with 220. Assuming parasites are distributed randomly among fish, test whether these two fish are likely to have come from the same population. (If the two were of different species, or sexes, then we could ask whether the two species, or sexes, are equally infected.) The test is two-tailed for hypotheses Ho: ILl == IL2 and HA: ILl

Using Appendix Table B.27 for n = XI + X2 == 13 + 22 == 35, we find a critical value of CO.05(2).35 = 11. Because neither XI nor X2 is :::; 11, Hi, is not rejected. Using the smaller of the two X's, we conclude that the probability is between 0.20 and 0.50 that a fish with 13 parasites and one with 22 parasites come from the same Poisson population (or from two Poisson populations having the same mean).

Representatives of two different nominal-scale categories may appear serially in space or time, and their randomness of occurrence may be assessed as in the following example. Members of two species of antelopes are observed drinking along a river, and their linear order is as shown in Example 25.8. We may ask whether the sequence of occurrence of members of the two species is random (as opposed to the animals either forming groups with individuals of the same species or shunning members of the same species). A sequence of like elements, bounded on either side by either unlike elements or no elements, is termed a run. Thus, any of the following arrangements of five members of antelope species A and seven members of species B would be considered to consist of five runs: BAABBBAAABBB,

or

BAAABAABBBBB,

and so on.

BBAAAABBBBAB,

or

BABAAAABBBBB,

or

To test the null hypothesis of randomness, we may use the runs lest. * If n I is the total number of elements of the first category (in the present example, the number of antelope of species A), n2 the number of antelope of species B, and u the number of runs in the entire sequence, then the critical values, Ua(2),fll,fl2' can be read from Appendix Table B.29 for cases where both nl :::;30 and n2 :::; 30. The critical values in this table are given in pairs; if the u in the sample is :::;the first member of the pair or e: the second, then Ho is rejected. "From its inception the runs test has also been considered to be a nonparametric test of whether two samples come from the same population (e.g., Wald and Wolfowitz, 1940), but as a two-sample test it has very poor power and the Mann-Whitney test of Section 8.11 is preferable.

*Mogull (1994) has shown that the runs test should not used in the unusual case of a sample consisting entirely of runs of two (for example, a sample consisting of BBAABBAABBAABB). In such situations the runs test is incapable of concluding departures from randomness; it has very low power, and the power decreases with increased sample size.

Equations 25.17 and 25.18 are equivalent to Equations 25.14 and 25.15, respectively.) O'Brien (1976) and O'Brien and Dyck (1985) present a runs test, for two or more categories, that utilizes more information from the data, and is more powerful, than the above procedure. (a) One-Tailed Testing. There are two ways in which a distribution of nominal-scale categories can be nonrandom: (a) The distribution may have fewer runs than would occur at random, in which case the distribution is more clustered, or contagious, than random; (b) the distribution may have more runs than would occur at random, indicating a tendency toward a uniform distribution. To test for the one-tailed situation of contagion, we state He: The elements in the population are not distributed contagiously, versus HA: The elements in the population are distributed contagiously; and Hi, would be rejected at the 0'( 1) significance level ifll :::;the lower of the pair of critical values in Appendix Table B.29. Thus, had the animals in Example 25.8 been arranged AAAAABBBBBBAAAABBBBBBB, then u = 4 and the one-tailed 5% critical value would be the lower value of llO.05(1 ).9.13, which is 7; as 4 < 7, Hi, is rejected and the distribution is concluded to be clustered. In using the normal approximation, Hi, is rejected if Z; 2=: Za( 1) and u :::;fLl/' To test for uniformity, we use H«: The clements in the population are not uniformly distributed versus H A: The elements in the population arc uniformly distributed. If It2=: the upper critical value in Appendix Table B.29 for 0'( 1), then Hi, is rejected. If the animals in Example 25.8 had been arranged as ABABABBABABBABABBABBAB, then II = 18, which is greater than the upper critical value of II (J.()5 ( 1 ).9,13 (which is 16); therefore, Hi, would have been rejected. If the normal approximation were used, Ho would be rejected if Z; 2=: Za( 1) and 1I 2=: fLl/' (b) Centrifugal and Centripetal Patterns. Occasionally, nonrandomness in the sequential arrangement of two nominal-scale categories is characterized by one of the categories being predominant toward the ends of the series and the other toward the center. In the following sequence, for example, AAAABAABBBBBBABBBBBAABBAAAAA

the A's are more common toward the termini of the sequence, and the B's are more common toward the center of the sequence. Such a situation might be the pattern of two species of plants along a line transect from the edge of a marsh, through the center of the marsh, to the opposite edge. Or we might observe the occurrence of diseased and healthy birds in a row of cages, each cage containing one bird. Ghent (1993) refers to this as a centrifugal pattern of A 's and a centripetal pattern of B'« and presents a statistical test to detect such distributions of observations. SERIAL RANDOMNESS

OF MEASUREMENTS:

PARAMETRIC TESTING

Biologists may encounter continuous data that have been collected serially in space or time. For example, rates of conduction might be measured at successive lengths along a nerve. A null hypothesis of no difference in conduction rate as one examines successive portions essentially is stating that all the measurements obtained arc a random sample from a population of such measurements. Example 25.9 presents data consisting of dissolved oxygen measurements of a water solution determined on the same instrument every five minutes. The desire

Chapter 25

Testing for Randomness EXAMPLE 25.9

The Mean Square Successive Difference

Test

An instrument for measuring dissolved oxygen is used to record a measurement every five minutes from a container of lake water. It is desired to know whether the differences in measurements are random or whether they are systematic. (If the latter, it could be due to the dissolved oxygen content in the water changing, or the instrument's response changing, or to both.) The data (in ppm) are as follows, recorded in the sequence in which they were obtained: 9.4, 9.3, 9.3, 9.2, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1,9.3,9.2,9.1,9.1. He: Consecutive measurements H A:

The null hypothesis that the sequential variability among measurements is random may be subjected to the mean square successive difference test, a test that assumes normality in the underlying distribution. In this procedure, we calculate the sample variance, s2, which is an estimate of the population variance, u2, as introduced in Section 4.4: n

SERIAL RANDOMNESS

OF MEASUREMENTS:

NONPARAMETRIC

TESTING

If we do not wish to assume that a sample of serially obtained measurements came from a normal population, then the procedure of Section 25.7 should not be employed. Instead, there are non parametric methods that address hypotheses about serial patterns. (a) Runs Up and Down: Two-Tailed Testing. We may wish to test the null hypothesis that successive directions of change in serial data tend to occur randomly, with the alternate hypothesis stating the directions of change occur either in clusters (that is, where an increase from one datum to another is likely to be followed by another increase, and a decrease in the magnitude of the variable is likely to be followed by another decrease) or with a tendency toward regular alte-rnation of increases and decreases (i.e., an increase is likely to be followed by a decrease, and vice versa). In the series of n data, we note whether datum i + 1 is larger than datum i (and denote this as a positive change, indicated as "+ ") or is smaller than datum i (which is referred to as a negative change, indicated as "- "). By a nonparametric procedure presented by Wallis and Moore (1941), the series of +'s and -'s is examined and we determine the number of runs of +'s and - 's, calling this number u as we did in Section 25.6. Appendix Table B.31 presents pairs of critical values for u, where for the two-tailed test for deviation from randomness one would reject Hi, if u were either :s the first member of the pair or 2: the second member of the pair.

The runs-up-and-down test may be used for ratio, interval, or ordinal data and is demonstrated in Example 25.10. It is most powerful when no adjacent data are the same; if there are identical adjacent data, as in Example 25.10, then indicate the progression from each adjacent datum to the next as "0" and determine the mean of all the u's that would result from all the different conversions of the O's to either +'8 or - 'so Levene (1952) discussed the power of this test.

Ho would he rejected if /I ~ the second member of the pair of one-tailed critical values: if the test uses the normal approximation, Ho would be rejected if Z; ~ Z,,( I) and /I ~ jL/I. (c) Runs Above and Below the Median. Another method of assessing randomness of ratio-, intcrval-, or ordinal-scale measurements examines the pattern of their distribution with respect to the set of data. We first determine the median of the sample (as explained in Section 3.2). Then we record each datum as heing either above (+) or below (-) the median. If a sample datum is equal to the median, it is discarded from the analysis. We then record II, the number of runs, in the resulting sequence of + 's and - 'so The test then proceeds as the runs test of Section 25.6. This is demonstrated, for two-tailed hypotheses, in Example 25.11: common one-tailed hypotheses are those inquiring into contagious (i.e., clumped) distributions of data above or below the median.

EXAMPLE 25.11

Runs Above and Below the Median

The data and hypotheses are those of Example 25.10. The median of the 12 data is determined to he 20.5 C. The sequence of data, indicating whether they are above ( + ) or below ( - ) the median, is - - - - 0 + 0 - + + + +. For the runs test, 1/1 = 5./12 = 5,/1 = 4. The critical values are IIO.O:'i(2).:'i..'i = 2 and 10: therefore, do not reject Ho: 0.20 < P ::; 0.50.

Although the test for runs up and down and the test for runs above and below the median may both he considered nonparametric alternatives to the parametric means square successive difference test of Section 25.7, the latter runs test often resembles the parametric test more than the former runs test does. The test for runs up and down works well to detect long-term trends in the data, unless there are short-term random fluctuations superimposed upon those trends. The other Iwo tests tend to perform better in detecting long-term patterns in the presence of short-term randomness (A. W. Ghent, personal communication).

26.1 DATA ON A CIRCULAR SCALE

In Section 1.1b, an interval scale of measurement was defined as a scale with equal intervals but with no true zero point. A special type of interval scale is a circular scale, where not only is there no true zero, but any designation of high or low values is arbitrary. A common example of a circular scale of measurement is compass direction (Figure 26.1a). where a circle is said to be divided into 360 equal intervals, called degrees," and for which the zero point is arbitrary. There is no physical justification for a direction of north to be designated 0 (or 360) degrees, and a direction of 270" cannot be said to be a "larger" direction than 90'.'1' Another common circular scale is time of day (Fig. 26.1 b), where a day is divided into 24 equal intervals, called hours, but where the designation of midnight as the zero or starting point is arbitrary. One hour of a clay corresponds to 150' (i.e .. 360"/24) of a circle, and 1 of a circle corresponds to four minutes of a day. Other time divisions, such as weeks and years (see Figure 26.1c), also represent circular scales of measurement. 0

* A degree is divided into 60 minutes (i.e .. I' = 60') and a minute into 60 seconds (I' = 60"). A number system based upon 60 is termed sexagesimal: and we owe the division of the circle into 360 degrees-and the 60-minute hour and 60-second minute-to the ancient Babylonians (about 3000 years ago). The use of the modern symbols ( and' and ") appears to date from the 1570s (Cajori, 1928-1929, Vol. II: 146). "Occasionally one will encounter angular measurements expressed in radians instead or in degrees. A radian is the angle that is subtendcd by an arc of a circle equal in length to the radius of the circle. As a circle's circumference is 27T times the radius, a radian is 360"/27T = 180"/7T = 57.295779510 (or 57 dcg, 17 min. 44.8062 see). The term radian was first used, in 1873. by James Thomson, brother of Baron William Thomson (Lord Kelvin). the famous Scottish mathematician and physicist (Cajori, 1928-1929, Vol. II: 147). A direction measured clockwise, from OC at north. is called an arimuth, Rarely, a direction is recorded as an angular measurement called a grad: a right angle (90°) is divided into 100 grads, so a grad is 0.9 of a degree.

For example, to convert a time of day (X, in hours) to an angular direction, k = 24 hr; to convert a day of the week to an angular direction, number the seven days from some arbitrary point (e.g., Sunday = day 1) and use Equation 26.1 with k = 7; to convert the Xth day of the year to an angular direction, k = 365 (or, k = 366 in a leap year); to convert a month of the year, k = 12; and so on.* Such conversions are demonstrated in Example 26.1. Data from circular distributions generally may not be analyzed using the statistical methods presented earlier in this book. This is so for theoretical reasons as well as for empirically obvious reasons stemming from the arbitrariness of the zero point on the circular scale. For example, consider three compass directions-lO°, 30°, and 350°, *Equation 26.1 gives angular directions corresponding to the ends of time periods (e.g., the end of the Xth day of the year). If some other point in a time period is preferred, the equation can be adjusted accordingly. For example, noon can be considered on the Xth day of the year by using X -0.5 in place of X. If the same point is used in each time period (e.g., always using either noon or midnight), then the statistical procedures of this and the following chapter will be unaffected by the choice of point. (However, graphical procedures, as in Section 26.2, will of course be affected, in the form of a rotation of the graph if Equation 26.1 is adjusted. If, for example, we considered noon on the Xth day of the year, the entire graph would be rotated about half a degree counterclockwise.)

The arithmetic mean calculation of (10° + 30° + 350°)/3 = 390°/3 = 130° is clearly absurd, for all data are northerly directions and the computed mean is southeasterly. This chapter introduces some basic considerations useful in calculating descriptive statistics for circular data, and Chapter 27 discusses tests of hypotheses.* Statistical methods have also been developed for data that occur on a sphere (which are of particular interest to earth scientists}! GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION OF CIRCULAR DATA

Circular data are often presented as a scatter diagram, where the scatter is shown on the circumference of a circle. Figure 26.2 shows such a graph for the data of Example 26.2. If frequencies of data are too large to be plotted conveniently on a scatter diagram, then a bar graph, or histogram, may be drawn. This is demonstrated in Figure 26.3, for the data presented in Example 26.3. Recall that in a histogram, the length, as well as the area, of each bar is an indication of the frequency observed at each plotted value of the variable (Section 1.3). Occasionally, as shown in Figure 26.4, a histogram is seen presented with sectors, instead of bars, composing the graph; this is sometimes called a rose diagram. Here. the radii forming the outer boundaries "More extensive reviews of methods for circular data include Batschelet t (1965. 1972. 19S1), Fisher (1993), Jammalamadaka and SenGupta (2001), Mardia (1972a. 19S1). and Mardia and Jupp (2000). TEdward Batschelet (1914-1979), Swiss biomathernatician, was one of the most influential writers in developing, explaining, and promulgating circular statistical methods, particularly among biologists. tNotable discussions of the statistical analysis of sperical data are as follows: Batschelet (1981: Chapter 11); Fisher, Lewis, and Embleton (19S7): Mardia (1972a: Chapters Sand 9): Mardia and Jupp (2000: Chapters 9. I (l, ctc.); Upton and Fingleton (19S9: Chapter 10): and Watson (1983).

*The earliest user of rose diagrams was the founder of modern nursing and pioneer social and health statistician, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), in 1858. She employed true-area colored diagrams, which she termed "coxcombs," to indicate deaths from various causes over months of the year (Fisher, 1993: 5-6). (Nightingale gained much fame for her work with the British Army during the Crimean War.)

Another manner of expressing circular frequency distributions graphically is shown in Figure 26.5. Here. the length of each bar of the histogram represents a frequency, as in Figure 26.3(a), but the bars extend from the circumference of a circle instead of from the center. In addition, an arrow extending from the circle's center toward the circumference indicates both the direction and the length of the mean vector, and this expresses visually both the mean angle and a measure of data concentration (as explained in Sections 26.4 and 26.5).

A histogram of circular data can also be plotted as a linear histogram (see Section 1.3), with degrees on the horizontal axis and frequencies (or relative frequencies) on the vertical axis. But the impression on the eye may vary with the arbitrary location of the origin of the horizontal axis, and (unless the range of data is small-say, no more than 180°) the presentation of Figure 26.3 or Figure 26.5 is preferable. 26.3

TRIGONOMETRIC

FUNCTIONS

A great many of the procedures that follow in this chapter and the next require the determination of basic trigonometric functions. Consider that a circle (perhaps representing a compass face) is drawn on rectangular coordinates (as on common graph paper) with the center as the origin (i.e., zero) of both a vertical X axis and a horizontal Y axis; this is what is done in Figure 26.6. There are two methods that can be used to locate any point on a plane (such as a sheet of paper). One is to specify X and Y (as done previously in discussing regression and correlation in Chapters 17 and 19). However, with circular data it is conventional to use a vertical, instead of a horizontal, X axis. This second method

specifies both the angle, a, with respect to some starting direction (say, clockwise from the top of the X axis, namely "north") and the straight-line distance, r, from some reference point (the center of the circle). This pair of numbers, a and r, is known as the "polar coordinates" of a point." Thus, for example, in Figure 26.6, point 1 is uniquely identified by polar coordinates a = 30° and r = 1.00, point 2 by a = 120° and r = 1.00, and so on. If the radius of the circle is specified to be 1 unit, as in Figure 26.6, the circle is called a unit circle. If a is negative, it is expressing a direction counterclockwise from zero. It may be added to 360° to yield the equivalent positive angle; thus, for example, -60° = 360° - 60° = 300°. An angle greater than 360° is equivalent to the number of degrees by which it exceeds 360° or a multiple of 360°. So, for example, 450° = 450° - 360° = 90° and 780° = 780° - 360° - 360° = 60°. The first-mentioned method of locating points on a graph referred to the X and Y axes. By this method, point 1 in Figure 26.6 is located by the "rectangular coordinates" X = 0.87 and Y = 0.50, point 2 by X = -0.50 and Y = 0.87, point 3 by X = -0.87 and Y = -0.50, and point 4 by X = 0.50 and Y = -0.87. The cosine (abbreviated "cos") of an angle is defined as the ratio of the X and the r associated with the circular measurement: cosa =

X

(26.2)

r

while the sine (abbreviated

"sin") of the angle is the ratio of the associated Y and r:

Thus, for example, the sine of (JI in Figure 26.6 is sin 30° = 0.50/1.00 = 0.50, and its cosine is cos 30° = 0.87/1.00 = 0.87. Also, sin 120 = 0.87/1.00 = 0.87, cas 120° = -0.50/1.00 = -0.50, and so on. Sines and cosines (two of the most used "trigonometric;' functions") are readily available in published tables, and many electronic calculators give them (and sometimes convert between polar and rectangular coordinates as well). The sines of 0° and 180° are zero, angles between 0° and 180° have sines that are positive, and the sines are negative for 180° < a < 360°. The cosine is zero for 90° and 270°, with positive cosines obtained for 0° < a < 90° and for 270 < a < 360°, and negative cosines for angles between 90° and 270°.

As noted at the end of Section 26.3, a given tangent can be obtained from either of two different angles. If X ~ 0, then a = arctan (Y / X); if X < 0, then a = arctan (Y / X) + 18()0.

If r = 0, the mean angle is undefined and we conclude that there is no mean direction. "Over time, many different symbols and abbreviations have been used for trigonometric functions. The abbreviations sin. and tan. were established in the latter half of the sixteenth century, and the periods were dropped early in the next century (Cajori, 1928-1929, Vol. II: 150,158). The cosine was first known as the "sine of the complement" -because the cosine of a equals the sine of 90° - a for angles from 0° to 90°-and the English writer E. Gunter changed "complementary sine" to "cosine" and "complementary tangent" to "cotangent" in 1620 (ibid.: 157). tThis use of the symbol r has no relation to the r that denotes a sample correlation coefficient (Section 19.1).

The angle with this sine and cosine is ii

So, to determine a mean time of day, X, from a mean angle, ii, X = (24 hr)(Zi)/360°. For example, a mean angle of 270° on a 24-hour clock corresponds to X = (24 hr) (270°)/360° = 18:00 hr (also denoted as 6:00 P.M.). If the sine of a is S, then it is said that the arcsine of S is a; for example, the sine of 30° is 0.50, so the arcsine of 0.50 is 30°. If the cosine of a is C, then the arccosine of C is a; for example, the cosine of 30° is 0.866, so the arccosine of 0.866 is 30°. And, if the tangent of a is T, then the arctangent of T is a; for example, the tangent of 30° is 0.577, so the arctangent of 0.577 is 30 * 0

For such data, the following computations are convenient alternatives "The arcsine is also referred to as the "inverse sine" and can be abbreviated "arcsin" or sin -I; the arccosine can be designated as "arccos" or cos-I , and the arctangent as "arctan" or tan -I.

The angle with this cosine and sine is ii = 162°. There is a bias in computing r from grouped data, in that the result is too small. A correction for this is available (Batschelet, 1965: 16-17, 1981: 37-40; Mardia, 1972a: 78-79; Mardia and Jupp, 2000: 23; Upton and Fingleton, 1985: 219), which may be applied when the distribution is unimodal and does not deviate greatly from symmetry.

(26.16)

sin (~)" The correction is insignificant for intervals smaller than 30°. This correction is for the quantity r; the mean angle, 71, requires no correction for grouping. ANGULAR DISPERSION

When dealing with circular data, it is desirable to have a measure, analogous to those of Chapter 4 for a linear scale, to describe the dispersion of the data. We can define the range in a circular distribution of data as the smallest arc (i.e., the smallest portion of the circle 's circumference) that contains all the data in the distribution. For example, in Figure 26.7a, the range is zero; in Figure 26.7b, the shortest arc is from the data point at 38° to the datum at 60°, making the range 22°; in Figure 26.7c, the data are found from 10° to 93 with a range of 83°; in Figure 26.7d, the data run from 322° to 135°, with a range of 173°; in Figure 26.7e, the shortest arc containing all the data is that running clockwise from 285° to 171°, namely an arc of 246°; and in Figure 26.7f, the range is 300°. For the data of Example 26.4, the range is 109° (as the data run from 45° to 154°). Another measure of dispersion is seen by examining Figure 26.7; the value of r (by Equation 26.8, and indicated by the length of the broken line) varies inversely with the amount of dispersion in the data. Therefore, r is a measure of concentration. It has no units and it may vary from 0 (when there is so much dispersion that a mean angle cannot be described) to 1.0 (when all the data are concentrated at the same direction). (An r of 0 does not, however, necessarily indicate a uniform distribution. For example, the data of Figure 26.8 would also yield r = 0). A line specified by both its direction and length is called a vector, so r is sometimes called the length of the mean vector. In Section 3.1 the mean on a linear scale was noted to be the center of gravity of a group of data. Similarly, the tip of the mean vector (i.e., the quantity r), in the direction of the mean angle (71) lies at the center of gravity. (Consider that each circle in Figure 26.7 is a disc of material of negligible weight, and each datum is a dot of unit weight. The disc, held parallel to the ground, would balance at the tip of the arrow in the figure. In Figure 26.7f, r = 0 and the center of gravity is the center of the circle.) Because r is a measure of concentration, 1- r is a measure of dispersion. Lack of dispersion would be indicated by 1- r = 0, and maximum dispersion by 1- r = 1.0. As a measure of dispersion reminiscent of those for linear data, Mardia (1972a: 45), Mardia and Jupp (2000: 18), and Upton and Fingleton (1985: 218) defined circular variance: 52 = 1 - r. (26.17) D

degrees. This is analogous to the standard deviation, S, on a linear scale (Section 4.5) in that it ranges from zero to infinity (see Fig. 26.7). For large r, the values of S and So differ by no more than 2 degrees for r as small as 0.80, by no more than 1 degree for r as small as 0.87, and by no more than 0.1 degree for r as small as 0.97. It is intuitively reasonable that a measure of angular dispersion should have a finite upper limit, so S is the dispersion measure preferred in this book. Appendix Tables B.32 and B.33 convert r to S and So, respectively. If the data are grouped, then s and So are biased in being too high, so rc (by Equation 26.15) can be used in place of r. For the data of Example 26.4 (where r = 0.82522), s = 34° and So = 36°; for the data of Example 26.5 (where r = 0.55064), s = 54° and So = 63°. Dispersion measures analogous to the linear mean deviation (Section 4.3) utilize absolute deviations of angles from the mean or median (e.g., Fisher, 1993: 36). Measures of symmetry and kurtosis on a circular scale, analogous to those that may be calculated on a linear scale (Section 6.5), are discussed by Batschelet (1965: 14-15,1981: 54-44); Mardia (1972a: 36-38,74-76), and Mardia and Jupp (2000: 22, 31,145-146). THE MEDIAN AND MODAL ANGLES

In a fashion analogous to considerations for linear scales of measurement (Sections 3.2 and 3.3), we can determine the sample median and mode of a set of data on a circular scale. To find the median angle, we first determine which diameter of the circle divides the data into two equal-sized groups. The median angle is the angle indicated by that diameter's radius that is nearer to the majority of the data points. If n is even, the median is nearly always midway between two of the data. Tn Example 26.2, a diameter extending from 103° to 289 divides the data into two groups of four each (as indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 26.2). The data are concentrated around 103°, rather than 289°, so the sample median is 103°. If n is odd, the median will almost always be one of the data points or 180 opposite from one. If the data in Example 26.2 had been seven in number-with the 45° lacking-then the diameter line would have run through 110° and 290°, and the median would have been 110°. Though uncommon, it is possible for a set of angular data to have more than one angle fit this definition of median. In such a case, Otieno and Anderson-Cook (2003) 0

recommend calculating the estimate of the population median as the mean of the two or more medians fitting the definition. Mardia (1972a: 29-30) shows how the median is estimated, analogously to Equation 3.5, when it lies within a group of tied data. If a sample has the data equally spaced around the circle (as in Fig. 26.7f), then the median, as well as the mean, is undefined. The modal angle is defined as is the mode for linear scale data (Section 3.3). Just as with linear data, there may be more than one mode or there may be no modes.

CONFIDENCE LIMITS FOR THE POPULATION MEAN AND MEDIAN ANGLES

The confidence limits of the mean of angles may be expressed as

a ± d.

(26.23)

That is, the lower confidence limit is L, = a- d and the upper confidence limit is Lz = a + d. For n as small as 8, the following method may be used (Upton, 1986). For r s 0.9,

d = arccos

and for r

(26.26)

This is demonstrated in Examples 26.6 and 27.3.* As this procedure is only approximate, d-and confidence limits-should not be expressed to fractions of a degree. This procedure is based on the von Mises distribution, a circular analog of the normal distribution.' Batschelet (1972: 86; Zar, 1984: 665-666) presents nomograms that yield similar results. * As shown in these examples, a given cosine is associated with two different angles: a and 3600 - a; the smaller of the two is to be used. t Richard von Mises (1883-1953), a physicist and mathematician, was born in the AustroHungarian Empire and moved to Germany, Turkey, and the United States because of two world wars (Geiringer, 1978). He introduced this distribution (von Mises, 1918), and it was called "circular normal" by Gumbel, Greenwood, and Durand (1953), and later by others, because of its similarity to the linear-scale normal distribution. It is described mathematically by Batschelet (1981: 279-282), Fisher (1993: 48-56), Jammalamadaka and SenGupta (2001: 35-42), Mardia (1972a: 122-127), Mardia and Jupp (2000: 36, 68-71, 85-88, 167-173), and Upton and Fingleton (1985: 277-229).

Confidence limits for the median angle may be obtained by the procedure of Section 24.8. The median is determined as in Section 26.6. Then the data are numbered 1 through n, with 1 representing the datum farthest from the median in a counterclockwise direction and n denoting the datum farthest in a clockwise direction. AXIAL DATA

Although not common, circular data may be encountered that are bimodal and have their two modes diametrically opposite on the circle. An example of such data is shown in Figure 26.8, where there is a group of seven angular data opposite a group of eight data (with the data shown as small black circles). Such measurements are known as axial data, and it is desirable to calculate the angle that best describes the circle diameter that runs through the two groups of data. Determining the mean angle (a) of the diameter in one direction means that the mean angle of the diameter in the other direction is a + 180°. These 15 measurements are given in Example 26.7 and resulted from the following experiment: A river flows in a generally southeasterly-northwesterly direction. Fifteen fish, of a species that prefers shallow water at river edges, were released in the middle of the river. Then it was recorded which direction from the point of release each of the fish traveled.

The Mean of Mean Angles

621

The angle (2a) with this sine and cosine is 95.9°; so a = 95.9°/2 = 48°. Also: tan2a = Y/X = -9.66687; and, since C < 0, a = arctan - 9.66687 + 180° = -84.P+ 180 = 95.9°; so a = 48°. 0

The statistical procedure is to calculate the mean angle (Section 26.4) after doubling each of the data (that is, to find the mean of 2ai). It will be noted that doubling of an angle greater than 180 will result in an angle greater than 360°; in that case, 360 is subtracted from the doubled angle. (This results in angles that are said to be "modulo 360°.") The doubling of angles for axial data is also appropriate for calculating other statistics, such as those in Sections 26.5-26.7, and for the statistical testing in Chapter 27. The mean angle of 48° determined in Example 26.7 indicates that a line running from 48 to 228 (that is, from 48 ° to 48 + 180°) is the axis of the bimodal data (shown as a dashed line in Fig. 26.8). 0

THE MEAN OF MEAN ANGLES

If a mean is determined for each of several groups of angles, then we have a set of mean angles. Consider the data in Example 26.8. Here, a mean angle, a, has been calculated for each of k samples of circular data, using the procedure of Section 26.4. If, now, we desire to determine the grand mean of these several means, it is not appropriate to consider each of the sample means as an angle and employ the method of Section 26.4. To do so would be to assume that each mean had a vector length, r, of 1.0 (i.e., that an angular deviation, s, of zero was the case in each of the k samples), a most unlikely situation. Instead, we shall employ the procedure promulgated by Batschelet" (1978, 1981: 201-202), whereby the grand mean has rectangular coordinates k

Chapter 26



Having obtained X and Y, we may substitute them for X and Y, respectively, in Equations 26.8, 26.9, and 26.10 (and 26.11, if desired) in order to determine a, which is the grand mean. For this calculation, all n/s (sample sizes) should be equal, although unequal sample sizes do not appear to seriously affect the results (Batschelet, 1981: 202). Figure 26.9 shows the individual means and the grand mean for Example 26.8. (By the hypothesis testing of Section 27.1, we would conclude that there is in this example no significant mean direction for Samples 5 and 7. However, the data from these two samples should not be deleted from the present analysis.) Batschelet (1981: 144,262-265) discussed confidence limits for the mean of mean angles. EXAMPLE 26.8

in Chapter 26 and the information contained in the basic Armed with the procedures statistics of circular distributions (primarily ii and r). we can now examine a number of methods for testing hypotheses about populations measured on a circular scale. 27.1

TESTING SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MEAN ANGLE (a) The Rayleigh Test for Uniformity. We can place more confidence in ii as an estimate of the population mean angle, fLa, if s is small, than if it is large. This is identical to stating that ii is a better estimate of fL{/ if r is large than if r is small. What is desired is a method of asking whether there is, in fact, a mean direction [or the population of data that were sampled, for even if there is no mean direction (i.e., the circular distribution is uniform) in the population, a random sample might still display a calculable mean. The test we require is that concerning Ho: The sampled population is uniformly distributed around a circle versus H i\: The population is not a uniform circular distribution. This may be tested by the Rayleigh test", As circular uniformity implies there is no mean direction, the Rayleigh test may also be said to test lio: p = 0 versus H A: p *- 0, where p is the population mean vector length. "Named for Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt, Third Baron Rayleigh (1/142- IlJ IlJ)]. a physicist and applied mathematician who gained his greatest fame for discovering and isolating the chemical clement argon (winning him the obcl Prize in physics in IlJ(4), although some of his other contributions to physics were at least as important (Lindsay.

The Rayleigh test asks how large a sample r must be to indicate confidently a nonuniform population distribution. A quantity referred to as "Rayleigh's R" is obtainable as (27.1 ) R = nr, and the so-called "Rayleigh's population mean direction:

Also an excellent approximation

(27.4) (derived from Greenwood and Durand, 1955). This calculation is accurate to three decimal places for n as small as 10 and to two decimal places for n as small as 5.t The Rayleigh test assumes sampling from a von Mises distribution, a circular analog of the linear normal distribution. (See von Mises footnote to Section 26.7.) If Hi, is rejected by Rayleigh's test, we may conclude that there is a mean population direction (see Example 27.1), and if Ho is not rejected, we may conclude the population distribution to be uniform around the circle; but only if we may assume that the population distribution does not have more than one mode. (For example, the data in Example 26.7 and Figure 26.8 would result in a Rayleigh test failing to reject Hi; While these data have no mean direction, they are not distributed uniformly around the circle, and they are not unimodal.) EXAMPLE 27.1 Rayleigh's Test for Circular Uniformity, Applied to the Data of Example 26.2 These data are plotted in Figure 26.2. Ho: P = 0 (i.e., the population is uniformly distributed around the circle). HA: P :f. 0 (i.e., the population is not distributed uniformly around the circle ).

line indicates the expected mean

Section 26.8 explains how axially bimodal data-such as in Figure 26.8-can be transformed into unimodal data, thereafter to be subjected to Rayleigh testing and other procedures requiring unimodality. What is known as "Rae's spacing test" (Batschelet, 1981: 66-69; Rao, 1976) is particularly appropriate when circular data are neither unimodal nor axially bimodal, and Russell and Levitin (1994) have produced excellent tables for its use. (b) Modified Rayleigh Test for Uniformity versus a Specified Mean Angle. The Rayleigh test looks for any departure from uniformity. A modification of that test (Durand and Greenwood, 1958; Greenwood and Durand, 1955) is available for use when the investigator has reason to propose, in advance, that if the sampled distribution is not uniform it will have a specified mean direction. In Example 27.2 (and presented graphically in Figure 27.1), ten birds were released at a site directly west of their home. Therefore, the statistical analysis may include the suspicion that such birds will tend to fly directly east (i.e., at an angle of 90°). The testing procedure considers Hr: The population directions are uniformly distributed versus HA: The directions in the population are not uniformly distributed and /La = 90°. By using additional information, namely the proposed mean angle, this test is more powerful than Rayleigh's test (Batschelet, 1972; 1981: 60). The preceding hypotheses are tested by a modified Rayleigh test that we shall refer to as the V test, in which the test statistic is computed as

v where

Appendix Table B.35 gives critical values of ua.l1, a statistic which, for large sample sizes, approaches a one-tailed normal deviate, Za( I), especially in the neighborhood of probabilities of 0.05. If the data are grouped, then R may be determined from (Equation 26.15) rather than from r.

If it is desired to test whether the population mean angle is equal to a specified value, say /LO, then we have a one-sample test situation analogous to that of the one-sample t test for data on a linear scale (Section 7.1). The hypotheses are He: /La

TESTING SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MEDIAN ANGLE

(a) The Hodges-Ajne Test for Uniformity. A simple alternative to the Rayleigh test (Section 27.1) is the so-called Hodges-Ajne test." which does not assume sampling from a specific distribution. This is called an "omnibus test" because it works well for unimodal, bimodal, and multimodal distributions. If the underlying distribution is that assumed by the Rayleigh test, then the latter procedure is the more powerful. Given a sample of circular data, we determine the smallest number of data that occur within a range of 180°. As shown in Example 27.4, this is readily done by drawing a line through the center of the circle (i.e., drawing a diameter) and rotating that line around the center until there is the greatest possible difference between the numbers of data on each side of the line. If, for example, the diameter line were vertical (i.e., through 0° and 180°), there would be 10 data on one side of it and 14 on the other; if the line were horizontal (i.e., through 90° and 270G), then there would be 3.5 points on one side and 20.5 points on the other; and if the diameter were rotated slightly counterclockwise from horizontal (shown as a dashed line in the figure in Example 27.4), then there would be 3 data on one side and 21 on the other, and no line will split the data with fewer data on one side and more on the other. The test statistic, which we shall call m, is the smallest number of data that can be partitioned on one side of a diameter; in Example 27.4, m = 3. The probability of an m at least this small, under the null hypothesis of circular uniformity, is

p =

(n - 2m) ( n) m 211-1

(n - 2m)

=

n! m!(n

(27.7)

(Hodges, 1955), using the binomial coefficient notation of Equation 24.2. Instead of computing this probability, we may refer to Appendix Table B.36, which gives critical values for m as a function of nand 0'. (It can be seen from this table that in order to test at the 5% significance level, we must have a sample of at least nine data.) For n > 50, P may be determined by the following approximation:

(b) Modified Hodges-Ajne Test for Uniformity versus a Specified Angle. Just as (in Section 27.1b) the V test is a modification of the Rayleigh test to test for circular uniformity against an alternative that proposes a specified angle, a test presented by Batschelet (1981: 64-66) is a modification of the Hodges-Ajne test to test "This procedure was presented by Ajne (196S). Shortly thereafter, Bhattacharyya and Johnson (1969) showed that his test is identical to a test given by Hodges (1955) for a different purpose.

nonparametrically for uniformity against an alternative that specifies an angle. For the Batschelet test, we count the number of data that lie within ±90° of the specified angle; let us call this number m' and the test statistic is C = n - m'.

(27.10)

We may proceed by performing a two-tailed binomial test (Section 24.5), with p = 0.5 and with C counts in one category and m' counts in the other. As shown in the figure in Example 27.5, this may be visualized as drawing a diameter line perpendicular to the radius extending in the specified angle and counting the data on either side ofthat line. (c) A Binomial Test. A nonparametric test to conclude whether the population median angle is equal to a specified value may be performed as follows. Count the number of observed angles on either side of a diameter through the hypothesized angle and subject these data to the binomial test of Section 24.5, with p = 0.5.

TESTING SYMMETRY

AROUND THE MEDIAN ANGLE

The symmetry of a distribution around the median may be tested nonparametrically using the Wilcoxon paired-sample test (also known as the Wilcoxon signed-rank test) of Section 9.5. For each angle (Xi) we calculate the deviation of Xi from the median (i.e., d, = Xi - median), and we then analyze the di's as explained in Section 9.5. This is shown in Example 27.6 for a two-tailed test, where Ho: The underlying distribution is not skewed from the median. A one-tailed test could be used to ask whether the distribution was skewed in a specific direction from the median. (T _ would be the test statistic for Ho: The distribution is not skewed clockwise from the median, and T + would be the test statistic for Ho: The distribution is not skewed counterclockwise from the median.)

AND MULTISAMPLE TESTING OF MEAN ANGLES

(a) Two-Sample Testing. It is common to consider the null hypothesis H«: ILl = J.L2, where ILl and IL2 are the mean angles for each of two circular distributions (see Example 27.7). Watson and Williams (1956, with an improvement by Stephens, 1972) proposed a test that utilizes the statistic F = K(N

+ R2 - R)

- 2)(RI N -

RI -

R2

(27.11) '

where N = nl + n2. In this equation, R is Rayleigh's R calculated by Equation 27.1 with the data from the two samples being combined; RI and R2 are the values of Rayleigh's R for the two samples considered separately. K is a factor, obtained from Appendix Table B.37, that corrects for bias in the F calculation; in that table we use the weighted mean of the two vector lengths for the column headed r:

no larger than 10°. Upton (1976) presents an alternative to the Watson-Williams test that relies on X2, instead of F, but the Watson-Williams procedure is a little simpler to use. The Watson-Williams tests (for two or more samples) are parametric and assume that each of the samples came from a population conforming to what is known as the von Mises distribution, a circular analog to the normal distribution of linear data. (See the second footnote in Section 26.7.) In addition, the tests assume that the population dispersions are all the same. Fortunately, the tests are robust to departures from these assumptions. But if the underlying assumptions are known to be violated severely (as when the distributions are not unimodal), we should be wary of their use. In the two-sample case, the nonparametric test of Section 27.5 is preferable to the Watson- Williams test when the assumptions of the latter are seriously unmet. Stephens (1982) developed a test with characteristics of a hierarchical analysis of variance of circular data, and Harrison and Kanji (1988) and Harrison, Kanji, and Gadsden (1986) present two-factor ANOYA (including the randomized block design). Batschelet (1981: 122-126), Fisher (1993: 131-133), Jammalamadake and SenGupta (2001: 128-130), Mardia (1972a: 158-162, 165-166), and Stephens (1972) discuss testing of equality of population concentrations.

Testing of Angles

637

AND MULTISAMPLE TESTING OF ANGLES

If data are grouped-Batschelet (1981: 110) recommends a grouping interval larger than 10° - then contingency-table analysis may be used (as introduced in Section 23.1) as a two-sample test. The runs test of Section 27.18 may be used as a two-sample test, but it is not as powerful for that purpose as are the procedures below, and it is best reserved for testing the hypothesis in Section 27.18. (a) Watson's Test. Among the nonparametric procedures applicable to two samples of circular data (e.g., see Batschelet, 1972, 1981: Chapter 6; Fisher, 1993: Section 5.3; Mardia, 1972a: Section 2.4; Mardia and Jupp, 2000: Section 8.3) are the median test of Section 27.6 and the Watson test. The Watson test, a powerful procedure developed by Watson* (1962), is recommended in place of the Watson-Williams two-sample test of Section 27.4 when at least one of the sampled populations is not unimodal or when there are other considerable departures from the assumptions of the latter test. It may be used on grouped data if the grouping interval is no greater than 5° (Batschelet, 1981: 115). The data in each sample are arranged in ascending order, as demonstrated in Example 27.9. For the two sample sizes, n] and n2, let us denote the ith observation in Sample 1 as ali and the jth datum in Sample 2 as ou. Then, for the data in Example 27.9, all = 35°, a21 = 75°, al2 = 45'\ a22 = 80 and so on. The total number of data is N = n] + n2. The cumulative relative frequencies for the observations in Sample 1 are i/ nl, and those for Sample 2 are jj nz. As shown in the present example, we then define values of dk (where k runs from 1 through N) as the differences between the two cumulative relative frequency distributions. The test statistic, called the Watson U2, is computed as 0

are given in Appendix Table B.38a bearing in mind that

Watson's U2 is especially useful for circular data because the starting point for determining the cumulative frequencies is immaterial. It may also be used in any situation with linear data that are amenable to Mann-Whitney testing (Section 8.11), but it is generally not recommended as a substitute for the Mann-Whitney test; the latter is easier to perform and has access to more extensive tables of critical values, and the former may declare significance because group dispersions are different.

Hypothesis Testing

Sample 1 with a value of au and tu as the number of data in Sample 2 that have a value of a2j. Additionally, ms, and m2j are the cumulative number of data in Samples 1 and 2, respectively; so the cumulative relative frequencies are m iii n! and m2j/ n2, respectively. As in Section 27.5a, dk represents a difference between two cumulative distributions; and each tk is the total number of data, in both samples, at each aij. The test statistic is

(c) Wheeler and Watson Test. Another nonparametric test for the null hypothesis of no difference between two circular distributions is one presented by Wheeler and Watson (1964; developed independently by Mardia, 1967). This procedure ranks all N data and for each a calculates what is termed a uniform score or circular rank: d

Critical values of W have been published for some sample sizes (Batschelet, 1981: 344; Mardia, 1967; Mardia and Jupp, 2000: 375-376; Mardia and Spurr, 1973). It has also been shown that W approaches a X2 distribution with 2 degrees of freedom for large N. This approximation works best for significance levels no less than 0.025 and has been deemed acceptable by Batschelet (1981: 103) if N is larger than 17, by Fisher (1993: 123) if n] and nz are each at least 10, and by Mardia and Spurr (1973) if N is greater than 20. This approximation should not be used if there are tied data or if the two sample dispersions are very different (Batschelet 1981: 103). An approximation related to the F distribution has been proposed (Mardia, 1967; Mardia and Jupp, 2000: 148-149) as preferable for some sample sizes. This test is demonstrated in Example 27.11. This example shows C, and S, for each of the two samples, but C and S are only needed from one of the samples in order to perform the test.

Some critical values for k = 3 have been published (Batschelet, 1981: 345; Mardia, 1970b; Mardia and Spurr, 1973). For large sample sizes, W may be considered to approximate X2 with 2( k - 1) degrees of freedom. This approximation is considered adequate by Fisher (1993: 123) if each ru is at least 10 and by Mardia and Spurr (1973) if N is greater than 20. Maag (1966) extended the Watson U2 test to k > 2, but critical values are not available. Comparison of more than two medians may be effected by the procedure in Section 27.6. If the data are in groups with a grouping interval larger than 10, then an r X c contingency table analysis may be performed, for r samples in c groups; see Section 23.1 for this analytical procedure. 27.6

TWO-SAMPLE

The following comparison oftwo or more medians is presented by Fisher (1933: 114), who states it as applicable if each sample size is at least 10 and all data are within 90 of the grand median (i.e., the median of all N data from all k samples).

For example, the angular distance between 95° and 120 is 25 between 340 and 30 is 50 and between 190 and 5° is 175°.

Two-Sample and Multisample Testing of Angular Distances

643

Angular distances are useful in drawing inferences about departures of data from a specified direction. We may observe travel directions of animals trained to travel in a particular compass direction (perhaps "homeward"), or of animals confronted with the odor of food coming from a specified direction. If dealing with times of day we might speak of the time of a physiological or behavioral activity in relation to the time of a particular stimulus. (a) Two-Sample Testing. If a specified angle (e.g., direction or time of day) is /-LO, we may ask whether the mean of a sample of data, ii, significantly departs from /-LO by testing the one-sample hypothesis, Ho: /-La = /-LO, as explained in Section 27.1c. However, we may have two samples, Sample 1 and Sample 2, each of which has associated with it a specified angle of interest, /-LI and /-L2, respectively (where /-LI and /-L2 need not be the same). We may ask whether the angular distances for Sample 1 (dOli-ILl) are significantly different from those for Sample 2 (da2i-IL2)' As shown in Example 27.12, we can rank the angular distances of both samples combined and then perform a Mann-Whitney test (see Section 8.11). This was suggested by Wallraff (1979). Two-Sample Testing of Angular Distances

EXAMPLE 27.12

Birds of both sexes are transported away from their homes and released, with their directions of travel tabulated. The homeward direction for each sex is 135°.

Hypothesis Testing

The procedure could be performed as a one-tailed instead of a two-tailed test, if there were reason to be interested in whether the angular distances in one group were greater than those in the other. (b) Multisample Testing. If more than two samples are involved, then the angular deviations of all of them are pooled and ranked, whereupon the Kruskal- Wallis test (Section 10.4) may be applied, followed if necessary by nonpararnetric multiplecomparison testing (Section 11.5). 27.8

TWO-SAMPLE

AND MULTISAMPLE TESTING OF ANGULAR DISPERSION

The Wallraff (1979) procedure of analyzing angular distances (Section 27.7) may be applied to testing for angular dispersion. The angular distances of concern for Sample 1 are dOli-al and those for Sample 2 are da2i-li2' Thus, just as measures of dispersion for linear data may refer to deviations of the data from their mean (Sections 4.3 and 4.4), here we consider the deviations of circular data from their mean. The angular distances of the two samples may be pooled and ranked for application of the Mann-Whitney test, which may be employed for either two-tailed (Example 27.13) or one-tailed testing. EXAMPLE 27.13

Do not reject Ho. P = 0.20 If we wish to compare the dispersions of more than two samples, then the aforementioned Mann-Whitney procedure may be expanded by using the Kruskal-Wallis test (Section 10.4), followed if necessary by nonparametric multiple comparisons (Section 11.5). PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE MEAN OF MEAN ANGLES

A set of n angles, ai, has a mean angle, ii, and an associated mean vector length, r. This set of data may be referred to as a first-order sampLe. A set of k such means may be referred to as a second-order sample. Section 26.9 discussed the computation of the mean of a second-order sample, namely the mean of a set of means. We can also test the statistical significance of a mean of means. For a second-order sample of k mean angles, X can be obtained with either Equation 26.27 or 26.29 and Y with either Equation 26.28 or 26.30. Assuming that the second-order sample comes from a bivariate normal distribution (i.e., a population in which the X/s follow a normal distribution, and the Y/s are also normally distributed), a testing procedure due to Hotelling* (1931) may be applied. The sums of squares and crossproducts of the k means are

(~Xj)2

(27.24)

k (~

Yj

k

)2

(27.25)

and (27.26) where L in each instance refers to a summation over all k means (i.e., L = Lj=I)' Then, we can test the null hypothesis that there is no mean direction (i.e., Ho: p = 0) in the population from which the second-order sample came by using as a test statistic

(27.27)

with the critical value being the one-tailed F with degrees of freedom of 2 and k - 2 (Batschelet, 1978; 1981: 144-150). This test is demonstrated in Example 27.14, using the data from Example 26.8. *Harold Hotelling (1895-1973), American mathematical economist and statistician. He owed his life, and thus the achievements of an impressive career, to a zoological mishap. While attending the University of Washington he was called to military service in World War I and appointed to care for mules. One of his charges (named Dynamite) broke Hotelling's leg, thus preventing the young soldier from accompanying his division to France where the unit was annihilated in battle (Darnell, 1988).

Reject Ho. 0.005 < P < 0.01 And, from Example 26.8, we see that the population mean angle is estimated to be 152°. This test assumes the data are not grouped. The assumption of bivariate normality is a serious one. Although the test appears robust against departures due to kurtosis, the test may be badly affected by departures due to extreme skewness. rejecting a true H« far more often than indicated by the significance level, a (Everitt. 1979; Mardia, 1970a). 27.10

NONPARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE MEAN OF MEAN ANGLES The Hotelling testing procedure of Section 27.9 requires that the k X's come from a normal distribution, as do the k Y's. Although we may assume the test to be robust to some departure from this bivariate normality, there may be considerable nonnormality in a sample, in which case a nonparametric method is preferable. Moore (1980) has provided a non parametric modification of the Rayleigh test, which can be used to test a sample of mean angles; it is demonstrated in Example 27.15. The k vector lengths are ranked, so that rl is the smallest and rk is the largest. We shall call the ranks i (where i ranges from 1 through k) and compute k

(a) Testing with Weighted Angles. The Moore modification of the Rayleigh test can also be used when we have a sample of angles, each of which is weighted. We may then perform the ranking of the angles by the weights, instead of by the vector lengths, r. For example, the data of Example 26.2 could be ranked by the amount of leaning. Or, if we are recording the direction each of several birds flies from a release point, the weights could be the distances flown. (If the birds disappear at the horizon, then the weights of their flight angles are all the same.) PARAMETRIC TWO-SAMPLE

The two-sample Hotelling test is robust to departures from the normality assumption (far more so than is the one-sample test of Section 27.9), the effect of nonnormality being slight conservatism (i.e., rejecting a false Ho a little less frequently than indicated by the significance level, a) (Everitt, 1979). The two samples should be of the same size, but departure from this assumption does not appear to have serious consequences (Batschelet, 1981: 202). NON PARAMETRIC TWO-SAMPLE

ANALYSIS OF THE MEAN OF MEAN ANGLES

The parametric test of Section 27.11 is based on sampled populations being bivariate normal and the two populations having variances and covariances in common, unlikely assumptions to be strictly satisfied in practice. While the test is rather robust to departures from these assumptions, employing a non parametric test may be employed to assess whether two second-order populations have the same directional orientation. Batschelet (1978; 1981: 154-156) presented the following non parametric procedure (suggested by Mardia, 1967) as an alternative to the Hotelling test of Section 27.11. First compute the grand mean vector, pooling all data from both samples. Then, the X coordinate of the grand mean is subtracted from the X coordinate of each of the data in both samples, and the Y of the grand mean is subtracted from the Y of each of the data. (This maneuver determines the direction of each datum from the

Table B.l was prepared using Equation 26.4.6 of Zelen and Severo (1964). The chi-square values were calculated to six decimal places and then rounded to three decimal places. Examples:

X6.05,12= 21.026

Ai.O,13S= 61.162

and

For large degrees of freedom (v), critical values of X2 can be approximated very well by

(Wilson and Hilferty, 1931). It is for this purpose that the values of Za(l) are given below (from White, 1970). a: 0.999

Appendix B

Statistical Tables and Graphs TABLE B.2: Proportions

of the Normal Curve (One-Tailed) This table gives the proportion of the normal curve in the right-hand tail that lies at or beyond (i.e., is at least as extreme as) a given normal deviate; for example, Z = I(Xi - f.L)I/U' or Z = I(X - f.L)I/U'x. For example, the proportion of a normal distribution for which Z ~ 1.51 is 0.0655.

Table B.2 was prepared using an algorithm of Hastings (1955: 187). Probabilities for values of Z in between those shown in this table may be obtained by either linear or harmonic interpolation. David (2005) presented a brief history of tables related to the normal distribution. Critical values of Z may be found in Appendix Table B.3 as Zo: = to:.oo. For example, ZO.05(2) = 10.05(2),00 = 1.9600. These critical values are related to those of X2 and F as

(first described by R. A. Fisher in 1924 and published in 1928; Lehmann, 1999). Many computer programs and calculators can generate these proportions. Also, there are many quick and easy approximations. For example, we can compute

where setting c = 0.806z( I - 0.01 Rz) (Hamaker. 1978) yields P dependable to the third decimal place for z as small as about 0.2, and using c = zl( 1.237 + 0.0249z) (Lin, 1988b) achieves that accuracy for z as small as about 0.1. Hawkes's (1982) formulas are accurate to within I in the fifth decimal place, though they require more computation.

Table B.3 was prepared using Equations 26.7.3 and 26.7.4 of Zelen and Severo (1964), except for the values at infinity degrees of freedom, which arc adapted from White (1970). Except for the values at infinity degrees of freedom, f was calculated to eight decimal places and then rounded to three decimal places.

Examples: fO.05(2).13

= 2.160

and

fO.OJ(J).JY

= 2.539

If a critical value is needed for degrees of freedom not on this table, one may conservatively employ the next smaller v that is on the table. Or. the needed critical value, for v < 1000, may be calculated by linear interpolation, with an error of no more than 0.001. If a little more accuracy is desired, or if the needed v is > 1000, then harmonic interpolation should be used. Critical values of I for infinity degrees of freedom are related to critical values of Z and X2 as and The accuracy below.

The values in Appendix Table B.17 were computed using Equation 19.4 and Table B.3. Examples: rO.05(2),25

and

= 0.381

rO.Ol( 1).30 = 0.409

If we require a critical value for degrees of freedom not on this table, the critical value for the next lower degrees of freedom in the table may be conservatively used. Or, linear or harmonic interpolation may be used. If v > 1000, then use harmonic interpolation, setting the critical value equal to zero for v = 00. Also note:

Appendix and Eisenhart Example:

Table B.29 was prepared (1943).

using the procedure

UO.05(2).24,30

= 20

described

and

by Brownlee

(1965: 225-226)

and Swed

36

The pairs of critical values are consulted as described in Section 25.6. The probability of a II found in the table is less than or equal to its column heading and greater than the next smaller column heading. For example, the two-tailed probability for nl = 25, n2 = 26, and u = 20 is 0.05 < P ~ (l.It); the two-tailed probability for nl = 20, n: = 30, and II = 15 is 0.002 < P ~ (J.()05; and the one-tailed probability for n 1 = 24, n2 = 25, and u = 21 is 0.10 < P ~ 0.25. For n larger than 30, use the normal approximation of Section 25.6.

For n greater than shown in the table, the normal approximation (Equation 25.22) may be utilized. This approximation is excellent, especially for a near 0.05, as shown in the following tabulation. The following table considers the absolute difference between the exact critical value of C and the value of C calculated from the normal approximation.

Appendix Table B.31 was prepared using the recursion algorithm attributed to Andre (1883; Bradley, 1968: 281) in order to ascertain the probability of a particular u, after which it was determined what value of u would yield a cumulative tail probability es a. Note: The a represented by each u in the table is less than or equal to that in the column heading and greater than the next smaller column heading. For example, if n = 9 and u = 3 for a two-tailed test, 0.05 < P ,;:;0.10; if n = 15 and u = 7 for u one-tailed test for uniformity, 0.05 < r « 0.10. The normal approximation of Section 25.8 will correctly reject HO at the indicated one-tailed and two-tailed significance levels for sample sizes as small as these: 0.10

The values in Appendix Table 8.34 were computed using Durand and Greenwood's Equation 6 (1958). This procedure was found to give slightly more accurate results than Durand and Greenwood's Equation 4. distinctly better results than the Pearson curve approximation, and very much better results than the chi-square approximation (Stephens, \969a). By examining the exact critical values of Greenwood and Durand (1955), we see that the preceding tabled values for a = 0.05 are accurate to the third decimal place for n as small as 8, and For a = 0.01 for n as small as 10. For n as small as 6, none of the tabled values for a = 0.05 or 0.01 has a relative error greater than 0.3%.

Examples: ZO.05.RO

As n increases,

the critical values become

=

2.986

and

closer to X2a,2/2.

If log X! is needed for X > 499, consult Lloyd, Zar, and Karr (1968) or Pearson and Hartley (1966: Table 51), or note that "Stirling'S approximation" being accurate to about two decimal places for n as small as 10: log X! = (X

0.5) log X

-

0.434294X

is excellent,

and this approximation is even better, having half the error:

(Kemp, 1989; Tweddle, 1984). Walker (1934) notes that Abraham de Moivre was aware of this approximation before Stirling. Thus we have another example of "Stigler's Law of Eponymy" (see the second footnote in Chapter 6).

DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE Fs AND DEGREESOF FREEDOM TWO-FAGOR ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE THREE-FACTOR ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE NESTED ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

When an analysis-or-variance (ANOYA) experimental design has more than one factor. then the appropriate F values (and degrees of freedom) depend upon which of the factors are fixed and which arc random effects (see Section 12.1). and which factors (if any) arc nested within which (see Chapter 15). Shown below in Section D.I is a procedure that enables us to determine the appropriate Fs and DFs for a given experimental design.
