Syntax effectsize term options description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Required term Anova term being tested -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description effectsize computes effects size after anova. The output includes omega2, eta2, Cohen's f, partial omega2, and partial eta2. Remarks Eta2 is interpreted as percent of dv accounted for by the effect in the sample. While omega2 is interpreted as percent of dv accounted for by the effect in the population. Rough guidelines for effect size: omega2 and eta2: .01 small; .06 medium; .14 large Cohen's f: .10 small; .25 medium; .40 large Of course, these are only very rough guidelines.
