Non-orthogonal planned comparisons: How to correct alpha?
I have a data set containing three groups (A, B, C). Group A and Group B have undergone two different types of training designed to improve the same thing. Group C is my control group with no training. I have specific hypotheses stating…

Correcting for multiple comparisons on planned contrasts with an ANCOVA
I have done an experiment with 7 treatment conditions designed to reduce alcohol intake, and a control condition. The dependent variable is alcohol intake after treatment, and I have run an ANCOVA with baseline alcohol intake as a covariate.
I found…

One-way independent ANOVA where I expect two levels to be very similar and the other to be different. What's the right test?
I'm expecting Groups 1 & 2 to be very similar and Group 3 to be different.
I'm using a very large data set and feel that power won't be an issue. Initially I felt that I'd then be expecting a significant ANOVA, and then in planned comparisons I'd…

Is it appropriate/acceptable to do planned comparisons for data that will be submitted to a scientific journal?
I am currently analyzing data for an age-related neuroscience study with a 2x2 factorial design (treatment (2 levels) x age (2 levels)) yielding 4 total groups: Young untreated, Young treated, Aged untreated, Aged treated. The hypothesis is that…

Bayesian planned orthogonal contrasts, can one just average two means?
I have a dataset with three levels of one independent variable, repeated measures. To simplify, I have two planned contrasts to perform:
High Treatment & Low Treatment combine, vs No Treatment
Hightreatment vs Low Treatment
Or, as contrast…

Partially orthogonal planned comparisons
I am comparing 8 means and want to set up a planned comparisons, rather than having my Bonferroni adjustment become overly-conservative in a post-hoc. For my groups I need to make a total of 16 comparisons, and some of these comparisons are…

A priori comparisons in a repeated measures design
I'm interested in finding out more about the use of a priori planned contrasts within a one-way repeated measures ANOVA design.
Predictions:
Grps 2+3 < Grp 1
Grp 2 < Grp 3
My questions are:
If the data violates RM ANOVA assumptions (e.g.,…

Multiple comparisons among orthogonal contrasts
Do I need to make an alpha adjustment when testing planned orthogonal contrasts. While the contrasts are independent the same residual error is used. The author of a well regarded textbook on experiment design in behavioral research, Roger Kirk,…

Should I use the package "emmeans" for planned comparisons? Or should it be used only for post-hoc tests?
Because "emmeans" looks at all pairwise comparisons, I am asking myself if I should use the package for planned comparisons (I have hypotheses about the differences between certain groups).
Thank you.

Why do we need the package "emmeans" to compare between groups? Why don't we just calculate the confidence intervals?
I am conducting a Poisson regression to find differences between universities in 5 regions regarding the number of crimes occured there.
The output:
Call:
glm(formula = nv ~ region, family = poisson, data = my_data)
Deviance Residuals:

Pairwise contrasts for logistic regression in emmeans, back-transform or not?
I ran a mixed effects logistic regression in R (glmer). The model identified a significant three-way interaction that I am interested in decomposing using post-hoc multiple comparison in emmeans. In this case Treatment is a factor (2 factors), Temp…

Combining customized contrasts + nested ANOVA (?)
I would like to get some advice on running a customized contrast analysis. I have looked at a few vignettes and I think I get the basic idea, but I'm not sure how to adapt them for my purpose.
To make things simple, let's just say that in this…

Can planned contrasts in ANOVA be one tailed tests?
I have an experiment with 3 within-subject conditions: A, B and C. My dependent variable is reaction time. I am interested in comparing A to B and A to C. Using aov() on R I run an one way ANOVA with the two contrasts built in the model. Condition…

ANOVA - significant main effect, no significant interaction. What to do next? planned comparison / post-hoc tests / simple effects?
I conducted a two-way ANOVA, with perceived diagnosticity, i.e. the ability to evaluate haptic properties of a product, as the dependent variable and sound manipulation (congruent, incongruent and no-sound) and product stimulus (Handtuch and TV) as…
