MR × MR Analysis

Kategorik · MR

MR × MR Analysis is one of the statistical analyses applied automatically in MerQur. This page illustrates — on a Agriculture, Forestry & Aquatic sample dataset — how the analysis is run, what the MerQur output looks like, and how the result is reported in APA 7 format.

🎯 What is it for?

MR × MR Analysis automatically applies in the background all the assumption checks required for the relevant data type (normality, homogeneity of variance, etc.) and presents the results with a clear table and chart. Automatic interpretation in the APA 7 standard, effect sizes such as Cohen’s d/η²/R², and 95% confidence intervals are reported.

📌 When is it used?

  • Statistical analysis of measurements in the Agriculture, Forestry & Aquatic domain
  • To produce APA 7-compatible result tables for academic publications
  • Hypothesis testing and decision-making processes
  • Undergraduate / master’s / PhD theses after the appropriate method has been selected

📐 Assumptions

  • Appropriate scale — Variables must be at the measurement level required by the analysis (nominal/ordinal/interval/ratio)
  • Independent observations — Observations must come from individuals independent of one another
  • Sufficient sample size — The minimum n requirement for the analysis must be met
  • Outlier check — Outliers must be detected and evaluated

If assumptions are violated, MerQur automatically suggests a non-parametric or robust alternative.

🛠 How to do it in MerQur

1

Load the data. Select the sample file from File → Open. MerQur auto-detects column types.

2

Select the analysis. From the left side select MR × MR Analysis.

3

Panel assignments (form fields in the program):

  • source_col1: None
  • source_col2: None
  • mc_metadata: None
4

Optional settings. Effect size ✓ · 95% confidence interval ✓ · Assumption checks (automatic).

5

▶ Run — click the button. Results are produced automatically as a table + chart.

MerQur Output (Illustrative)

MR × MR ANALYSIS RESULT ───────────────────────────────────────────── Veri: n = 180, 3 columns Test statistic: 12.43 p-value: < .001 Effect size: medium-large Detailed results are produced automatically by MerQur’s ▶ Run command.

MerQur Narrative Interpretation

MR × MR Analysis revealed a statistically significant finding among the variables (p < .001). Detailed results and visualizations are produced automatically in the MerQur output panel.

APA 7 Interpretation (Academic Format · Illustrative)

MR × MR Analysis results indicated that grup_a showed a statistically significant effect/association (p < .001). The effect size was medium-to-large, suggesting the finding has practical importance. For the detailed report, use MerQur’s APA 7 Word export.

⚠ Common Mistakes

  • Misidentifying the data type (e.g., loading a categorical variable as numeric)
  • Skipping assumption checks and going straight to the p-value
  • Failing to report effect size — APA 7 requires both p and effect size
  • Failing to apply a Type I error correction (Bonferroni/Tukey) in multiple comparisons
  • Not switching to a non-parametric alternative when n is insufficient
