In this manuscript we present various robust statistical methods and show how to apply them in R using the WRS2 package. We elaborate on robust location measures and present robust t-test versions for independent and dependent samples. We focus on robust one-way and higher order ANOVA strategies including mixed designs (“betweenwithin subjects”). Finally, we elaborate on running interval smooth...

Bonferroni’s Adjustment (also known as Dunn’s procedure). This procedure is simple to use and can be applied in a wide variety of situations where alpha correction is needed (and is perhaps most appropriate for situations other than the post hoc situation discussed here). To obtain a corrected critical value the desired alpha is divided by the number of comparisons or tests performed and that v...

We provide lower bounds for the norms of embeddings between γ-weighted Anchored and ANOVA spaces of s-variate functions with mixed partial derivatives of order one bounded in Lp norm (p ∈ [1,∞]). In particular we show that the norms behave polynomially in s for Finite Order Weights and Finite Diameter Weights if p > 1, and increase faster than any polynomial in s for Product Order-Dependent Wei...

The study attempted to analyse the concept of spectators' motives at mixed martial arts (MMA) events in Poland. In addition, we investigated the relation between motives and sports media consumption. The sample consisted of 273 people attending three similar, regional MMA events. Exploratory factor analysis was used to refine the structure of motives. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a reaso...

Interactions occurring between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and two thermostable α-amylase producing strains (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 04BBA15 and Lactobacillus fermentum 04BBA19) were analyzed by comparing their growth patterns obtained in isolation with those obtained in mixture. The difference between the patterns was assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) in order to measure how much the...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional regulation, extraversion, and openness to experience) are associated with glycemic control and blood glucose monitoring behavior, and change or stability of these outcomes over time, in young people with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A 3-year longitudinal study was conducted using dat...

The analysis of series of crop variety trials has a long history with the earliest approaches being based on ANOVA methods. Kempton (1984) discussed the inadequacies of this approach, summarized the alternatives available at that time and noted that all of these approaches could be classified as multiplicative models. Recently, mixed model approaches have become popular for the analysis of seri...

Bayes factors have been advocated as superior to p-values for assessing statistical evidence in data. Despite the advantages of Bayes factors and the drawbacks of p-values, inference by p-values is still nearly ubiquitous. One impediment to the adoption of Bayes factors is a lack of practical development, particularly a lack of ready-to-use formulas and algorithms. In this paper, we discuss and...
