We discussed this earlier. It is smaller, because we subtract out the error associated with the subject means. At the same time, there is a trade-off here. The repeated measures ANOVA uses different degrees of freedom for the error term, and these are typically a smaller number of degrees of freedom. We run simulated experiments for each design. However, they are subtly different.
The critical value, assuming an alpha of 0. The critical value for the repeated measures version is slightly higher. To illustrate why repeated-measures designs are more sensitive, we will conduct another set of simulations.
We will do something slightly different this time. We will make sure that the scores for condition A, are always a little bit higher than the other scores. In other words, we will program in a real true difference. This mean is 5 larger than the means for the other two conditions still set to With a real difference in the means, we should now reject the hypothesis of no differences more often.
Here we have two distributions of observed p-values for the simulations. The red line shows the location of 0. This means that many times we would not have rejected the hypothesis of no differences even though we know there is a small difference.
OK, well, you still might not be impressed. In this case, the between-subjects design detected the true effect slightly more often than the repeated measures design. Based on this, we could say the two designs are pretty comparable in their sensitivity, or ability to detect a true difference when there is one. However, remember that the between-subjects design uses 30 subjects, and the repeated measures design only uses We had to make a big investment to get our 30 subjects.
What do you think would happen if we ran 30 subjects in the repeated measures design? Here we redo the above, but this time only for the repeated measures design. Look at that. If we ran the repeated measures design, we would almost always detect the true difference when it is there. This is why the repeated measures design can be more sensitive than the between-subjects design.
The data happen to be taken from a recent study conducted by Lawrence Behmer and myself, at Brooklyn College Behmer and Crump We were interested in how people perform sequences of actions. One question is whether people learn individual parts of actions, or the whole larger pattern of a sequence of actions.
We looked at these issues in a computer keyboard typing task. One of our questions was whether we would replicate some well known findings about how people type words and letters. From prior work we knew that people type words way faster than than random letters, but if you made the random letters a little bit more English-like, then people type those letter strings a little bit faster, but not as slow as random string.
In the study, 38 participants sat in front of a computer and typed 5 letter strings one at a time. So, the independent variable for the typing material had three levels. We measured every single keystroke that participants made.
This gave us a few different dependent measures. This is how long it took for participants to start typing the first letter in the string. OK, I made a figure showing the mean reaction times for the different typing material conditions.
But now, I cannot figure out how to do a posthoc Tuckey to know how they differ? If it is a complete counterbalancing design, each participants should has 9 treatment.
But that is impratical. So in my study, each participant experienced 3 treatment e. I do not have NA in my dataset. Should I use mixed model instead? Please make sure you have installed the latest dev version of the rstatix package. However, I have a small issue that I cannot resolve. Any ideas other than relabelling groups alphabetically? I would suggest to prepare your data by defining the desired order of the factor variable levels before using any plotting or stat functions.
For example, I would go as follow:. The defined factor levels at step 1 will be taken into account by all functions. Thanks Alboukadel. Turns out r was automatically ascribing levels when I used read. I reassigned as you suggested and now works perfectly. I get the following error Error in lm. Is there possibly a limit on data that can be managed?
I want to compare two groups of stations within the same water body measured in 3 seasons and with a certain treatment. Hope you can help. Did you installed the dev version from Github? I hope this will help. Their performance is assessed by 3 raters.
My question is whether this task type have any impact on the participants performance. In this case, how should my SPSS data entry look like? Both the independent variables have more than two levels 5 and 6 , but I cannot find any output for the sphericity assumptions.
I also had a question for the normality assumption. As you can see there are a lot of levels, so the Shaprio Wilk is applied 30 times. Six of those came out significant. Does that mean I will have to run robust testing, even if relatively few groups were non-normal?
Any suggestion? First of all, thank you very much Kassambara for this work! I am trying to run a repeated measure two-way ANOVA with my own data and I still seem to run into the error previously described by others;. I have installed the latest dev version of the rstatix, however, that does not seem to solve the problem.
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue? I would very much appreciate your help! Gather the columns t1, t2 and t3 into long format. Inspect some random rows of the data by groups set. First of all, thank you Kassambara for this work! I am trying to run a two way repeated measurement ANOVA with my own data but I still seem to run into error described above by others;. However, it still will give me the error.
Do you have any idea how to fix this? Thank you for this useful tutorial. If I remove him from this single condition, and get a significant effect in the 3-level factor, I cannot perform a paired t test with the method that you proposed — I get an error due to unequal number of observations Error in complete.
Any tips of what should I do in such a case? This chapter describes the different types of repeated measures ANOVA, including: One-way repeated measures ANOVA , an extension of the paired-samples t-test for comparing the means of three or more levels of a within-subjects variable. Assumptions The repeated measures ANOVA makes the following assumptions about the data: No significant outliers in any cell of the design.
Normality : the outcome or dependent variable should be approximately normally distributed in each cell of the design. Assumption of sphericity : the variance of the differences between groups should be equal. Read more in Chapter ref mauchly-s-test-of-sphericity-in-r. No matter your choice, you should report what you did in your results.
Key arguments for performing repeated measures ANOVA: data : data frame dv : numeric the dependent or outcome variable name. It returns ANOVA table that is automatically corrected for eventual deviation from the sphericity assumption.
The default is to apply automatically the Greenhouse-Geisser sphericity correction to only within-subject factors violating the sphericity assumption i. Normality assumption The normality assumption can be checked by computing Shapiro-Wilk test for each time point. Post-hoc tests You can perform multiple pairwise paired t-tests between the levels of the within-subjects factor here time. Summary statistics Group the data by treatment and time , and then compute some summary statistics of the score variable: mean and sd standard deviation.
Post-hoc tests A significant two-way interaction indicates that the impact that one factor e. So, you can decompose a significant two-way interaction into: Simple main effect : run one-way model of the first variable factor A at each level of the second variable factor B , Simple pairwise comparisons : if the simple main effect is significant, run multiple pairwise comparisons to determine which groups are different.
Procedure for a significant two-way interaction Effect of treatment. Procedure for non-significant two-way interaction If the interaction is not significant, you need to interpret the main effects for each of the two variables: treatment and time. Report We could report the result as follow: A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was performed to evaluate the effect of different diet treatments over time on self-esteem score.
Post-hoc tests If there is a significant three-way interaction effect, you can decompose it into: Simple two-way interaction : run two-way interaction at each level of third variable, Simple simple main effect : run one-way model at each level of second variable, and simple simple pairwise comparisons : run pairwise or other post-hoc comparisons if necessary.
Compute simple two-way interaction You are free to decide which two variables will form the simple two-way interactions and which variable will act as the third moderator variable. Group the data by diet and analyze the simple two-way interaction between exercises and time : Two-way ANOVA at each diet level two.
Compute simple simple main effect A statistically significant simple two-way interaction can be followed up with simple simple main effects. Compute simple simple comparisons A statistically significant simple simple main effect can be followed up by multiple pairwise comparisons to determine which group means are different. Report A three-way repeated measures ANOVA was performed to evaluate the effects of diet, exercises and time on weight loss.

Comments 86 Hanna. Thank you for your positive feedback, highly appreciated! Other studies compare the same measure under two or more different conditions.
Repeated Measures Design : An example of a test using a repeated measures design to test the effects of caffeine on cognitive function. The primary strengths of the repeated measures design is that it makes an experiment more efficient and helps keep the variability low. This helps to keep the validity of the results higher, while still allowing for smaller than usual subject groups.
A disadvantage of the repeated measure design is that it may not be possible for each participant to be in all conditions of the experiment due to time constraints, location of experiment, etc. There are also several threats to the internal validity of this design, namely a regression threat when subjects are tested several times, their scores tend to regress towards the mean , a maturation threat subjects may change during the course of the experiment and a history threat events outside the experiment that may change the response of subjects between the repeated measures.
One of the greatest advantages to using the rANOVA, as is the case with repeated measures designs in general, is that you are able to partition out variability due to individual differences. In a between-subjects design there is an element of variance due to individual difference that is combined in with the treatment and error terms:.
In a repeated measures design it is possible to account for these differences, and partition them out from the treatment and error terms. In such a case, the variability can be broken down into between-treatments variability or within-subjects effects, excluding individual differences and within-treatments variability.
The within-treatments variability can be further partitioned into between-subjects variability individual differences and error excluding the individual differences.
As with all statistical analyses, there are a number of assumptions that should be met to justify the use of this test. Violations to these assumptions can moderately to severely affect results, and often lead to an inflation of type 1 error. Univariate assumptions include:. The rANOVA also requires that certain multivariate assumptions are met because a multivariate test is conducted on difference scores. If you are looking for help to make sure your data meets assumptions 3, 4 and 5, which are required when using a repeated measures ANOVA and can be tested using SPSS Statistics, you can learn more in our enhanced guides see our Features: Overview page to learn more.
However, the procedure is identical. Without doing this, SPSS Statistics will think that the three variables are just that, three separate variables. After running the step procedure above, you will have generated the results for a repeated measures ANOVA with a post hoc test. We discuss this output on the next page. Examples of continuous variables include revision time measured in hours , intelligence measured using IQ score , exam performance measured from 0 to , weight measured in kg , and so forth.
You can learn more about interval and ratio variables in our article: Types of Variable. Assumption 2: Your independent variable should consist of at least two categorical , "related groups" or "matched pairs". The reason that it is possible to have the same subjects in each group is because each subject has been measured on two occasions on the same dependent variable.
For example, you might have measured 10 individuals' performance in a spelling test the dependent variable before and after they underwent a new form of computerized teaching method to improve spelling. You would like to know if the computer training improved their spelling performance. The first related group consists of the subjects at the beginning prior to the computerized spelling training and the second related group consists of the same subjects, but now at the end of the computerized training.
