Mediation and Moderation in Jamovi

Hi all! I just added two new pages to MattCHoward.com for conducting statistics in Jamovi. The first covers mediation in Jamovi, whereas the second covers moderation in Jamovi. Links are below, and, as always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My email is MHoward@SouthAlabama.edu.

Several New Help Pages on Jamovi

Hi everyone!  I spent all weekend making several new help pages on the statistical software, Jamovi.  It is a wonderful and free program that can perform most basic statistical analyses, and it functions similarly to SPSS.  Because my students cannot use the on-campus computer lab at the same time this semester, I am instead teaching my stats courses using Excel and Jamovi.  It is quite the lifesaver!

Below are links to the new help pages that I made.  Also, here is a link to my page with all Jamovi guides: https://mattchoward.com/jamovi-statistics-help/ .

Chi-Square in Jamovi

Cronbach’s Alpha in Jamovi

Descriptive Statistics in Jamovi

Dummy-Coded Regression in Jamovi

One-Sample T-Test in Jamovi

One-Way ANOVA in Jamovi

Quadratic Regression in Jamovi

Regression in Jamovi

Two-Sample T-Test in Jamovi

Two-Way ANOVA in Jamovi

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or requests regarding Jamovi.  I am always happy to talk about such a wonderful program.  Thanks!

pyMTurkR Error and Solution

I have been learning pyMTurkR because MTurkR and MTurkRGUI no longer work.  It has been challenging, but I finally have it working. . .mostly.  I am posting this comment primarily for myself because I know I will forget this solution one day, but I hope that it can also help others at some point.

When using the GrantBonus() command, following the instructions on the pyMTurkR documentation will give you an “Invalid Request” error.  This is because the instructions tell you to type the monetary amount as “.50” for example.  It will give you an error unless you put a 0 in the dollar amount place when paying in cents.  That is, “.50” should be entered as “0.50”.  Otherwise, it will give you the Invalid Request error.  Hope this helps someone – particularly myself in the future when I forget this!

New Page on Two-Way ANOVA in Excel!

Although Excel isn’t the best at calculating a two-way ANOVA, it can provide some results.  So, I created a page on how to perform the analysis in Excel.  It can be found here: https://mattchoward.com/two-way-anova-in-excel/ .  As always, email me at MHoward@SouthAlabama.edu if you have any questions or comments!
