Description

Set of functions to compute (partial) indices for ANOVAs, such as omega squared, the eta squared or the epsilon squared (Kelly, 1935). They are measures of effect size, or the degree of association for a population. They are an estimate of how much variance in the response variables are accounted for by the explanatory variables.

Usage

cohens_f(model)

epsilon_squared(model)

eta_squared(model, partial = TRUE, ci = NULL, ...)

# S3 method for aov eta_squared(model, partial = TRUE, ci = NULL, iterations = 1000, ...)

omega_squared(model, partial = TRUE, ci = NULL, iterations = 1000)

Arguments

model

An ANOVA object.

partial

If TRUE, return partial indices (adjusted for sample size).

ci

Confidence Interval (CI) level computed via bootstrap.

...

Arguments passed to or from other methods.

iterations

The number of draws to simulate/bootstrap.

Value

Data.frame containing the effect size values.

Details

Omega Squared

Omega squared is considered as a lesser biased alternative to eta-squared, especially when sample sizes are small (Albers \& Lakens, 2018). Field (2013) suggests the following interpretation heuristics:

  • Omega Squared = 0 - 0.01: Very small

  • Omega Squared = 0.01 - 0.06: Small

  • Omega Squared = 0.06 - 0.14: Medium

  • Omega Squared > 0.14: Large

Epsilon Squared

It is one of the least common measures of effect sizes: omega squared and eta squared are used more frequently. Although having a different name and a formula in appearance different, this index is equivalent to the adjusted R2 (Allen, 2017, p. 382).

Cohen's f

Cohen's f statistic is one appropriate effect size index to use for a oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA). Cohen's f can take on values between zero, when the population means are all equal, and an indefinitely large number as standard deviation of means increases relative to the average standard deviation within each group. Cohen has suggested that the values of 0.10, 0.25, and 0.40 represent small, medium, and large effect sizes, respectively.
