Adjusted Mean
This is the value of the group mean adjusted for the effect of the covariate.
Adjusted predicted value
A measure of the influence of a particular case of data.
Adjusted R-squared
A measure of the loss of predictive power or shrinkage in regression. The adjusted r-square tells us how much variance in the outcome would be accounted for if the model had been derived from the population from which the sample was taken.
Analysis of covariance
A statistical procedure that uses the F-ratio to test the overall fit of a linear model controlling for the effect that one or more covariates have on the outcome variable.
Analysis of variance
A statistical procedure that uses the F-ratio to test the overall fit of a linear model. In experimental research this linear model tends to be defined in terms of group mean and the resulting ANOVA is therefore an overall test of whether group means differ.
ANCOVA
Acronym for analysis of covariance
Anderson-Rubin method
A way of calculating factor scores which produces scores that are uncorrelated and standardized with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
ANOVA
Acronym for analysis of variance
Autocorrelation
When the residuals of two observations in a regression model are correlated
b (i)
Un standardized regression coefficient
B (i)
Standardized regression coefficient

B-level
The probability of making a Type II error
Bartlett’s test of sphericity
The test examines whether a variance-covariance matrix is proportional to an identity matrix. It tests whether the diagonal elements of the variance-covariance matrix are equal (i.e. group variances are the same).
Between-group design
Another name for independent design
