| Degrees of freedom [df] | A value that is different for different statistical tests and approximates the sample size of number of individual cells in an experimental design. |
| Analysis of variance[ANOVA] | A test of the difference between two or more means. A simple analysis of variance [or ANOVA] has only one independent variable |
| Simple analysis of variance | 2 A test of the difference between two or more means. A simple analysis of variance [or ANOVA] has only one independent variable |
| One-way analysis of variance | 3 A test of the difference between two or more means. A simple analysis of variance [or ANOVA] has only one independent variable |
| Factorial design | A research design where there is more than one treatment variable. |
| Post hoc | ”After the fact |
| Factorial analysis of variance | An analysis of variance with more than one factor or independent variable. |
| Error in prediction | The difference between the actual score [Y] and the predicted score [Y’]. |
| Error of estimate | The difference between the actual score [Y] and the predicted score [Y’]. |
| Standard error of estimate | A measure of accuracy in prediction. |
| Multiple regression | A statistical technique where several variables are used to predict one. |
