Eta for ANOVA from F and Sum of Squares
Description
The formula for $\eta^2$ is: $$\frac{SS_{model}} {SS_{total}}$$
R Function
eta.full.SS(dfm, dfe, ssm, sst, Fvalue, a)
Arguments
- dfm = degrees of freedom for the model/IV/between
- dfe = degrees of freedom for the error/residual/within
- ssm = sum of squares for the model/IV/between
- sst = sum of squares total
- Fvalue = F statistic
- a = significance level
Example
A health psychologist recorded the number of close inter-personal attachments of 45-year-olds who were in excellent, fair, or poor health. People in the Excellent Health group had 4, 3, 2, and 3 close attachments; people in the Fair Health group had 3, 5, and 8 close attachments; and people in the Poor Health group had 3, 1, 0, and 2 close attachments. The data are available on GitHub. Example output from JASP, SPSS, and SAS are shown below.

Effect Size:
$\eta^2$ = .56, 95% CI [.00, .83]
Interpretation:
Your confidence interval does include zero, and therefore, you might conclude that this effect size is similar to zero.
Summary Statistics:
Not applicable.
Test Statistic:
F(2, 8) = 5.13, p = .037
Interpretation:
Your p-value is less than the alpha value, and therefore, this test would be considered statistically significant.
