If you aim to investigate whether there are any statistically significant distinctions in the means of two or more distinct groups, you can employ a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). For instance, consider a situation where you wish to determine if there are variations in the performance of athletes in a track event based on […]
Binomial logistic regression is a statistical test for predicting the likelihood of an observation belonging to one of two possible categories of a binary dependent variable. This prediction is based on one or more independent variables, which can be continuous or categorical. This form of regression shares similarities with linear regression, except for the nature

The two-way ANCOVA is a statistical test to assess whether there is an interaction effect between two distinct, independent variables on a continuous dependent variable. In simpler terms, it helps us understand if these two variables have a combined influence on the outcome. This analysis considers one or more continuous covariates and additional factors that
The one-way multivariate analysis of covariance (one-way MANCOVA) extends the capabilities of the one-way MANOVA and one-way ANCOVA by incorporating either a continuous covariate or multiple dependent variables. This addition enhances the sensitivity of the analysis to detect differences among groups of a categorical independent variable. The one-way MANCOVA is employed to determine whether there
Like standard multiple regression, hierarchical multiple regression (also known as sequential multiple regression) allows you to predict a dependent variable based on multiple independent variables. However, the procedure that it uses to do this in SPSS Statistics, and the goals of hierarchical multiple regression, are different from standard multiple regression. In standard multiple regression, all the independent
Principal components analysis (i.e., PCA) is a variable-reduction technique that shares many similarities to exploratory factor analysis. Its aim is to reduce a larger set of variables into a smaller set of ‘artificial’ variables (called principal components) that account for most of the variance in the original variables. Although principal components analysis is conceptually different
The two-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is an analytical technique that extends the principles of the two-way ANOVA to scenarios with multiple dependent variables. It is particularly useful in determining how two independent variables interact in their combined influence on several dependent variables. For example, consider a study to evaluate the impact of diet
The one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique that extends the concept of the paired-samples t-test. It is utilized to identify if there are any significant differences between the means of three or more levels of a within-subjects factor, where the same cases (such as participants) are involved in each level.
The two-way ANOVA is an extension of the one-way ANOVA that assesses the interaction effect between two independent variables on a continuous dependent variable. It is also called a “factorial ANOVA” or, more specifically, a “two-way between-subjects ANOVA.” In the context of an experiment, the two-way ANOVA can be extremely useful in understanding how different
The one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is a statistical method that extends the one-way ANOVA by accommodating two or more dependent variables instead of one. The one-way MANOVA assesses the differences in a combined set of dependent variables, known as a ‘linear composite’ or vector, across groups defined by an independent variable. This approach
