Friedman-Test-2

The document provides an overview of the Friedman test, a non-parametric method for detecting differences in treatments across multiple attempts, particularly useful for ordinal data. It outlines the requirements for running the test, including data preparation and the calculation of the test statistic. Additionally, it references critical value tables and provides resources for further reading on the topic.

Friedman test

Definition

n Friedman’s test is a non-parametric test for finding


differences in treatments across multiple attempts.
+
Formula

k = numbers of columns

n = number of rows

R = sum of the ranks.


+
Uses

n The Friedman test is the non-parametric


alternative to the one-way ANOVA with repeated
measures.

It is used to test for differences between groups


when the dependent variable being measured is
ordinal.
+
Uses

n Nonparametric means the test doesn’t assume


your data comes from a particular distribution
(like the normal distribution). Basically, it’s
used in place of the ANOVA test when you
don’t know the distribution of your data.
+
Running the test

Your data should meet the following requirements:

n Data should be ordinal or continuous,

n Data comes from a single group, measured on at


least three different occasions,
+
Running the test

n The
sample was created with a random sampling
method,

n Blocks are mutually independent (i.e. all of the


pairs are independent — one doesn’t affect the
other),
+
Running the test

n Observations are ranked within blocks with no


ties.

n The null hypothesis for the test is that the


treatments all have identical effects, or that the
samples differ in some way.

For example, they have different centers, spreads,


or shapes. The alternate hypothesis is that the
treatments do have different effects.
+
1. Prepare your data for the test
Step 1 Sort your data into blocks (columns in a
spreadsheet).for this example, we have 12 patients
getting three different treatments.
+
1. Prepare your data for the test

Step 2 Rank each column separately. The smallest


score should get a rank of 1. I am ranking across
rows here so each patient is being ranked a 1, 2, or 3
for each treatment.
+
1. Prepare your data for the test

Step 3 Sum the ranks (find a total for each column)


+
2. Run the Test

This test isn’t usually run by hand, as the calculations


are time consuming and labor-intensive.

Nearly all popular statistical software packages can


run this test. However, I’m including the manual
steps here for reference.
+
2. Run the Test

Step 4 Calculate the test statistic. You’ll need:

n: number of subjects (12)

k: number of treatments (3)

R: The total ranks for each of the three


columns (32, 27, 13).
+
2. Run the Test

Insert these into the following formula and solve:


+
2. Run the Test

Insert these into the following formula and solve:

FM = [ 12/144 ] * [ 1024 + 729 + 169 ] - 144

FM = [ .083 * 1922 ] – 144

FM = 15.526
+
2. Run the Test

Step 5 Find the FM critical value from the table of


critical values for Friedman (see table below).

Use the k=3 table (as that is how many treatments we


have) and an alpha level of 5%.

You could choose a higher or lower alpha level, but


5% if fairly common — so use the 5% table if you
don’t know your alpha level.
+
Friedman’s ANOVA by Ranks
Critical Value Table

Three tables according by “k”.

If your k is over 5, or your n is over 13, use the chi


square critical value table in Step 5 to get the critical
value.
