A Demonstration of a Type VI Error: An Applied Research Problem.

And Others; Roll, Steve

Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, v10 n1 p31-38 Nov 1979

A Type VI error results from inconsistency between the researchers' question of interest and the statistical procedures employed to analyze the data. An example of a research problem is analyzed to show the increase in statistical power resulting from improved research design, using multiple regression instead of analysis of variance. (CTM)
