The One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a procedure for testing the hypothesis that K population means are equal, where K > 2. The One-way ANOVA compares the means of the samples or groups in order to make inferences about the population means. The One-way ANOVA is also called a single factor analysis of variance because there is only one independent variable or factor. The independent vari...

tinues to be used widely for the analysis of repeated-measures data in anesthetic research. RMANOVA, like other parametric statistical tests, specifies several assumptions and requires specific description in publications. A recent article in the Korean Journal of Anesthesiology (KJA) provided valid information on RMANOVA [1]. We reviewed 493 studies published in KJA between January 2010 and De...

OBJECTIVES To introduce multilevel repeated measures (RM) models and compare them with multilevel difference-in-differences (DID) models in assessing the linear relationship between the length of the policy intervention period and healthcare outcomes (dose-response effect) for data from a stepped-wedge design with a hierarchical structure. DESIGN The implementation of national essential medic...

Objective: To establish the intra-rater reliability of nine content-validated Technical Skill Assessment Instruments (TSAI) for the skills of athletic taping. Setting: University of Calgary. Subjects: Canadian Certified Athletic Therapists, CAT(C), with a mean ± SD of 9.6 ± 10.8 years as a CAT(C), 7.8 ± 10.9 years as a Supervisory Athletic Therapist, 8.5 ± 12.0 years teaching athletic taping sk...

this study aimed at examining the effect of different focus of attention instructions and cognitive styles on the learning of dart throwing skill. 80 children were randomly selected and divided into four equal groups: a) field independent-external attention, b) field independent-internal attention, c) field dependent-external attention and d) field independent-internal attention based on their ...

This retrospective study was undertaken to determine the test-retest reliability of hand-held dynamometer strength testing for 18 extremity muscle groups. To assess reliability, I compared three dynamometer strength scores recorded for each muscle group on the strength score forms of 30 neurologically involved patients, using the Pearson product-moment correlation and a one-way analysis of vari...
