Proportional Eta Squared Calculator in RStudio
Introduction & Importance
Proportional eta squared (η²) is a measure of effect size in analysis of variance (ANOVA). It indicates the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is attributable to the independent variable…
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the number of groups (n) and number of treatments (k).
- Enter the sum of squares between (SSB) and sum of squares within (SSW).
- Click ‘Calculate’.
Formula & Methodology
The formula for proportional eta squared is:
η² = SSB / (SSB + SSw)
Real-World Examples
Data & Statistics
| Source of Variation | SS | df | MS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Between | SSB | k – 1 | MSb |
| Within | SSW | n – k | MSw |
| Total | SSB + SSw | n – 1 |
Expert Tips
- Always ensure your data meets the assumptions of ANOVA before calculating η².
- Interpret η² values with caution, as they can be influenced by sample size.
