Formulae used to compute the sums of squares in the 2x2 WW design

Cohen (2002) observed that summary measures can be sued to compute ANOVA in repeated measures designs but doe not go into details. We, therefore, give the formulae used for computing the sums of squares (SS) in the WW ANOVA below.

Note in what follows Wij represents data with W1=i and W2=j for i,j=1,2. there are N subjects. Var() represents the variance.

SS(W1) = 2N Var(mean(W11), mean(W12).

SS(W2) = 2N Var(mean(W21), mean(W22).

SS(W1 x W2) = 0.25[N (mean(W11)-mean(W12)-mean(W21)+mean(W22))^2]

Error terms

Var(W11+W12) = Var(W11) + Var(W12) + 2r(W11,W12)sd(W11)sd(W12)

Var(W21+W22) = Var(W21) + Var(W22) + 2r(W21,W22)sd(W21)sd(W22)

Var(W11+W12-(W21+W22)) =

Var(W11+W12) + Var(W21+W22) - 2r(W11+W12,W21+W22)sd(WW11+W12)sd(W21+W22)

SS(subjects x W1) = (N-1) Var(W11+W12-(W21+W22))

Var(W11+W21) = Var(W11) + Var(W21) + 2r(W11,W21)sd(W11)sd(W21)

Var(W12+W22) = Var(W12) + Var(W22) + 2r(W12,W22)sd(W12)sd(W22)

Var(W11+W21-(W12+W22)) =

Var(W11+W21) + Var(W12+W22) - 2r(W11+W21,W12+W22)sd(WW11+W21)sd(W12+W22)

SS(subjects x W2) = (N-1) Var(W11+W21-(W12+W22))

Var(W11-W12) = Var(W11) + Var(W12) - 2r(W11,W12)sd(W11)sd(W12)

Var(W21-W22) = Var(W21) + Var(W22) - 2r(W21,W22)sd(W21)sd(W22)

SS(subjects x W1 x W2) = 0.25[(N-1)Var(W11-W12)Var(W21-W22) - 2r(W11-W12,W21-W22)sd(W11-W12)sd(W21-W22)]
