[R] how to extract the effect size eta in an anova table
Hi, perhaps the question I have is more a statistical question than a question about R. But I hope nevertheless someone could help me. If I have the following anova table; Analysis of Variance Table Response: aktiv Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) fac1 1 0.1091 0.1091 1.1207 0.291156 fac2 1 0.2035 0.2035 2.0903 0.149935 fac3 1 0.9400 0.9400 9.6568 0.002186 ** fac4 1 0.2338 0.2338 2.4018 0.122912 fac1:fac2 1 0.0273 0.0273 0.2809 0.596754 fac1:fac3 1 0.0528 0.0528 0.5426 0.462309 fac2:fac3 1 0.0122 0.0122 0.1252 0.723902 Residuals 184 17.910 0.0973 How do I compute eta^2 for factor 3 (fac3)? Can I just calculate it over the sum squares? Like 0.9400 / (0.1091 + 0.2035 + 0.9400 .... + 0.0122 + 17.910); is that my eta^2? How would I report the results? (Like F(1,184) = 9.65 ..?) (don't you have always two degrees of freedom in an Anova?) thanks for any help!
