<p>Here’s the bad-news-good-news message again: The bad news is that the subject of inferential statistics is extremely difficult — not because it is complex but rather because it is subtle. The cause of the difficulty is that the world around us is difficult to understand, and spoon-fed mathematical simplifications which you manipulate mechanically simply mislead you into thinking you understand that about which you have not got a clue.</p>
<p>The good news is that you — and that means <em>you</em>, even if you say you are “no good at mathematics” — can understand these problems with a layperson’s hard thinking, even if you have no mathematical background beyond arithmetic and you think that you have no mathematical capability. That’s because the difficulty lies in such matters as pin-pointing the right question, and understanding how to interpret your results.</p>
<p>The problems in the previous chapter were tough enough. But this chapter considers problems with additional complications, such as when there are more than two groups, or paired comparisons for the same units of observation.</p>
<p>But first, we need another addition to our R vocabulary.</p>

<p>This section continues our programme of expanding the range of R features that you can use to clear code. As we introduce each feature, we will use them in the following examples.</p>
<p>As motivation, we are about to do some simulations where we are interested in the number of some particular type of observations in each trial. For example, let’s do 10 coin tosses with <code>sample</code>:</p>
<div class="cell" data-layout-align="center">
<div class="sourceCode cell-code" id="cb1"><pre class="sourceCode r code-with-copy"><code class="sourceCode r"><span id="cb1-1"><a href="#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="co"># For each element, heads of tails is equally likely.</span></span>
<span id="cb1-2"><a href="#cb1-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>coins <span class="ot"><-</span> <span class="fu">sample</span>(<span class="fu">c</span>(<span class="st">'heads'</span>, <span class="st">'tails'</span>), <span class="at">size=</span><span class="dv">10</span>, <span class="at">replace=</span><span class="cn">TRUE</span>)</span>

<div class="cell-output cell-output-stdout">
<pre><code> [1] "tails" "tails" "tails" "heads" "tails" "heads" "tails" "tails" "tails"
[10] "tails"</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<p>Let us now say that we are interested to record if the trial had <em>either</em> 2 or fewer “heads” <em>or</em> two or fewer “tails”.</p>
<p>We could write it like this:</p>
<div class="cell" data-layout-align="center">
<div class="sourceCode cell-code" id="cb3"><pre class="sourceCode r code-with-copy"><code class="sourceCode r"><span id="cb3-1"><a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="cf">if</span> (<span class="fu">sum</span>(coins <span class="sc">==</span> <span class="st">'heads'</span>) <span class="sc"><=</span> <span class="dv">2</span>) {</span>

<span id="cb3-3"><a href="#cb3-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>}</span></code><button title="Copy to Clipboard" class="code-copy-button"><i class="bi"></i></button></pre></div>
<div class="cell-output cell-output-stderr">
<pre><code>Trial is of interest</code></pre>
</div>
<div class="sourceCode cell-code" id="cb5"><pre class="sourceCode r code-with-copy"><code class="sourceCode r"><span id="cb5-1"><a href="#cb5-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="cf">if</span> (<span class="fu">sum</span>(coins <span class="sc">==</span> <span class="st">'tails'</span>) <span class="sc"><=</span> <span class="dv">2</span>) {</span>

</div>
<p>It is a little repetitive to have to repeat the code identical code to print the same message for either of the two cases, and it would be even more repetitive if there were more lines of identical code to run for each of the two cases.</p>
<p>R solves this problem with the <code>|</code> (<em>or</em>) operator, like this:</p>
<div class="cell" data-layout-align="center">
<div class="sourceCode cell-code" id="cb6"><pre class="sourceCode r code-with-copy"><code class="sourceCode r"><span id="cb6-1"><a href="#cb6-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="cf">if</span> (<span class="fu">sum</span>(coins <span class="sc">==</span> <span class="st">'heads'</span>) <span class="sc"><=</span> <span class="dv">2</span> <span class="sc">|</span> <span class="fu">sum</span>(coins <span class="sc">==</span> <span class="st">'tails'</span>) <span class="sc"><=</span> <span class="dv">2</span>) {</span>

Note 23.2: What is an operator?
</div>
</div>
<div class="callout-body-container callout-body">
<p>Above, we called <code>|</code> an <em>operator</em>. An operator, for our purposes, is a special character that sits between two values, and that tells R how to combine these values.</p>
<p>For example <code>+</code> is an operator. When <code>+</code> sits between two numbers in code, R interprets this to mean “take the two numbers on either side, and make a new number that is the result of adding the two numbers”:</p>
<div class="cell" data-layout-align="center">
<div class="sourceCode cell-code" id="cb8"><pre class="sourceCode r code-with-copy"><code class="sourceCode r"><span id="cb8-1"><a href="#cb8-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="co"># + is an operator that, between two numbers, means "add the numbers".</span></span>

<div class="cell-output cell-output-stdout">
<pre><code>[1] 4</code></pre>
</div>

<p><code>+</code>, <code>-</code>, <code>/</code> and <code>*</code> are all examples of operators that do <em>arithmetic</em> on the numbers to either side — they are <em>arithmetic</em> operators.</p>

<p>We are about to use the operator <code>|</code> (<em>or</em>). <code>|</code> is a <em>logical</em> operator. It is a logical operator because it does not operate on <em>numbers</em> (as arithmetic operators do), but on <em>logical</em> (<em>Boolean</em>) values — values that can be either <code>TRUE</code> or <code>FALSE</code>.</p>
<p>For example, here we use <code>|</code> (<em>or</em>). to combine a <code>TRUE</code> value (on the left) with a <code>FALSE</code> value (on the right). It gives a result — <code>TRUE</code>.</p>

<p><code>|</code> (<em>or</em>) applies a very simple rule: if <em>either</em> the left-hand (LH) <em>or</em> the right-hand (RH) values are <code>TRUE</code>, then <code>|</code> (<em>or</em>) evaluates to <code>TRUE</code>.

<p>Now let’s go back to the <code>if</code> statement above. The conditional part of the header line is:</p>

<section id="sec-fruitfly-four" class="level3" data-number="23.2.1">
<h3 data-number="23.2.1" class="anchored" data-anchor-id="sec-fruitfly-four"><span class="header-section-number">23.2.1</span> Example: Do Any of Four Treatments Affect Sex Ratio in Fruit Flies?</h3>
<p>This is an example of the general problem — <strong>when the benchmark universe proportion is known, is the proportion of the binomial population affected by any of the treatments?</strong></p>
<p>Suppose that, instead of experimenting with just one type of radiation treatment on the flies (as in <a href="testing_counts_1.html#sec-fruitfly" class="quarto-xref"><span>Section 21.2.1</span></a>), you try <em>four</em> different treatments, which we shall label A, B, C, and D. Treatment A produces fourteen males and six females, but treatments B, C, and D produce ten, eleven, and ten males, respectively. It is immediately obvious that there is no reason to think that treatment B, C, or D affects the sex ratio. But what about treatment A?</p>
<p>A frequent and dangerous mistake made by young scientists is to scrounge around in the data for the most extreme result, and then treat it as if it were the only result. In the context of this example, it would be fallacious to think that the probability of the fourteen-males-to-six females split observed for treatment A is the same as the probability that we figured for a <em>single</em> experiment in the example <a href="testing_counts_1.html#sec-fruitfly" class="quarto-xref"><span>Section 21.2.1</span></a>. Instead, we must consider that our benchmark universe is composed of <em>four sets</em> of twenty trials, each trial having a 50-50 probability of being male. We can consider that our previous trials 1-4 in <a href="testing_counts_1.html#sec-fruitfly" class="quarto-xref"><span>Section 21.2.1</span></a> constitute a <em>single</em> new trial, and each subsequent set of four previous trials constitute another new trial. We then ask how likely a new trial of our sets of twenty flips is to produce <em>one</em> set with fourteen or more of one or the other sex.</p>
<p>Let us make the procedure explicit, starting at the procedure from <a href="testing_counts_1.html#sec-fruitfly" class="quarto-xref"><span>Section 21.2.1</span></a>. Again, we will check for 14 or more males, <em>or</em> 6 or fewer males (meaning, 14 or more females).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Step 1.</strong> Let tails = male, heads = female.</li>
<li><strong>Step 2.</strong> Flip twenty coins and count the number of tails (males). Call this the count for group A. Repeat three more times to get counts for groups B, C and D.</li>
<li><strong>Step 5.</strong> If <em>any</em> of the group counts for A, or B or C or D is 14 ore more then record “Yes”, or if <em>any</em> of the group counts A, B, C, D are 6 or less (meaning >= 14 females), record “yes”. If neither is true, record “No”.</li>
<li><strong>Step 4.</strong> Repeat steps 2 and 3 perhaps 100 times.</li>
<li><strong>Step 5.</strong> Calculate the proportion of “yes” results in the 100 trials. This proportion estimates the probability that a fruit fly population with a proportion of 50 percent males will produce as many as 14 males, or as many as 14 females, in at least one of four groups of 20 flies.</li>
</ul>
<p>We begin the trials with data as in <a href="#tbl-fruitfly-4-groups" class="quarto-xref">Table <span>23.1</span></a>. In two of the six simulation trials, one or more one samples (groups) shows 14 or more males. Without even concerning ourselves about whether we should be looking at males or females, or just males, or needing to do more trials, we can see that it would be <em>very common indeed</em> to have one of four treatments show fourteen or more of one sex just by chance. This discovery clearly indicates that a result that would be fairly unusual (five in 25) for a single sample alone is commonplace in one of four observed samples.</p>

<p>A key point of the notebook here is that each trial consists of <em>four groups</em> of 20 randomly generated hypothetical fruit flies. And if we consider 10,000 trials, we will be examining 40,000 sets of 20 fruit flies.</p>
<p>In each trial we generate 4 random samples (groups) of 20 fruit flies, and for each, we count the number of males (“males”s) and then check whether that group has more than 13 of either sex (actually, more than 13 “males”s or less than 7 “males”). If it does, then we change a variable called <code>unusual</code> to 1, which informs us that for this sample, at least 1 group of 20 fruit flies had results as unusual as the results from the fruit flies exposed to the four treatments.</p>
<p>After the 10,000 runs are made, we count the number of trials where one sample had a group of fruit flies with 14 or more of either sex, and show the results.</p>

<p>In one set of 10,000 trials, there were more than 13 males or more than 13 females 57 percent of the time — clearly not an unusual occurrence.</p>

<h3 data-number="23.2.2" class="anchored" data-anchor-id="sec-four-rehabs"><span class="header-section-number">23.2.2</span> Example: Do Four Psychological Treatments Differ in Effectiveness?</h3>
<p><strong>Do Several Two-Outcome Samples Differ Among Themselves in Their Proportions?</strong></p>
<p>Consider four different psychological treatments designed to rehabilitate young offenders. Instead of a numerical test score, there is only a “yes” or a “no” answer as to whether the young person has kept their record clean or has gotten into trouble again. Call a clean record “success”. Label the treatments P, R, S, and T, each of which is administered to a separate group of twenty young offenders. The number of “success” outcomes per group has been: P, 17; R, 10; S, 10; T, 7. Is it improbable that all four groups come from the same universe?</p>
<p>This problem is like the placebo vs. cancer-cure problem, but now there are more than two samples. It is also like the four-sample irradiated-fruit flies example (<a href="#sec-fruitfly-four" class="quarto-xref"><span>Section 23.2.1</span></a>), except that now we are <em>not</em> asking whether any or some of the samples differ from a <em>given universe</em> (50-50 sex ratio in that case). Rather, we are now asking whether there are differences <em>among</em> the samples themselves. Please keep in mind that we are still dealing with two-outcome (success-or-failure, yes-or-no, well-or-sick) problems. The outcomes fall into categories, to which we give labels (“success” or “failure”, “well” or “sick”). Later we shall take up problems that are similar except that the outcomes are “quantitative” — in that the outcomes are numbers rather than labels.</p>
<p>If all four groups were drawn from the same universe, that universe has an estimated success rate of 17/20 + 10/20 + 10/20 + 7/20 = 44/80 = 55/100 = 55%, because the observed data <em>taken as a whole</em> constitute our best guess as to the nature of the universe from which they come — again, <em>if</em> they all come from the same universe. (Please think this matter over a bit, because it is important and subtle. It may help you to notice the absence of any <em>other</em> information about the universe from which they have all come, if they have come from the same universe.)</p>
<p>Therefore, select twenty two-digit numbers for each group from the random-number table, marking “success” for each number in the range 1 through 55 and “failure” for each number 56 through 100. Conduct a number of such trials. Then count the proportion of times that the difference between the highest and lowest groups is larger than the widest observed difference, the difference between P and T (17-7 = 10). In <a href="#tbl-offenders" class="quarto-xref">Table <span>23.2</span></a>, none of the first six trials shows anywhere near as large a difference as the observed range of 10, suggesting that it would be rare for four treatments that are “really” similar to show so great a difference. There is thus reason to believe that P and T differ in their effects.</p>

<p>The strategy of the R solution to “offenders” is similar to the strategy for previous problems in this chapter. The benchmark (null) hypothesis is that the treatments do not differ in their effects observed, and we estimate the probability that the observed results would occur by chance using the benchmark universe. The only new twist is that we must instruct the computer to find the groups with the highest and the lowest numbers of success rates.</p>
<p>Using R, we generate four “treatments,” each represented by 20 labels. We draw these 20 labels from the choices “success” or “failure”, with a 55% chance of getting “success” and a 45% chance of “failure”. Follow along in the program for the rest of the procedure:</p>
