* chapter_14_table_5 For the hypothetical data contained in Table 14.4, Table 14.5 gives an appropriate and substantively interesting set of D variables. The D variables (rather than the raw data itself) is used because of the benefits and flexibility gained from analyzing the D variables directly (rather than indirectly as we did with the Table 14.4 data). The results of the analysis when the D variables themselves are analyzed can be obtained by making use of PROC GLM and PROC TTEST. Using PROC GLM with D variables for omnibus effects of the main effects and interaction requires separate PROC GLM statements with the extra specification 'MANOVA H =_ALL_'. The 'MANOVA H =_ALL_' tells SAS that we want to perform a MANOVA on the selected variables (here the D variables we defined) considering 'all' dependent variables simultaneously. If we would have included all of the D variables in a single PROC GLM statement, we would have lost information about each of the main effects and the interaction. Note that the reason we have not previously had to specify 'MANOVA H =_ALL_' is because we specified that the variables were repeated (as in the results from Table 14.1 and 14.4) and it was thus unnecessary. Regarding the parameter estimates and confidence intervals for the D variables, because each D is analyzed with respect to only itself, PROC TTEST can be used to obtain parameter estimates and confidence intervals. Note that the null hypothesis of interest here is that the population mean of the D variables is zero. Although we do not illustrate it here, forming other D variables and following the procedures outlined will lead to answers of other (potentially) interesting questions. For example, the 11th D variable of the chapter tests the difference between the eighth degree and the zeroth degree conditions when noise is present. Although we do not form and test such a D variable here, with the methods we have illustrated, such a D variable could easily be formed and analyzed. ; LIBNAME md 'd:\data files by type\sas data files\tables'; Data c14t5; SET md.chapter_14_table_5; Title 'Angle Main Effect'; PROC GLM; MODEL d1 d2 = / NOUNI; MANOVA H =_ALL_; RUN; Title 'Noise Main Effect'; PROC GLM; MODEL d3 = / NOUNI; MANOVA H =_ALL_; RUN; Title 'Interaction Main Effect'; PROC GLM; MODEL d4 d5 = / NOUNI; MANOVA H =_ALL_; RUN; Title 'Parameter Estimates and Confidence Intervals for D Variables'; PROC TTEST H0=0; RUN;
