non-pairwise effect sizes

[melissaszy]

Hello,

I trying to use evident and am wondering if there is a way to filter the data before calculating non-pairwise effect sizes.

I want to calculate the non-pairwise effect size of one category (species). I have five variables currently in that category (water, dog, cat, rabbit, mouse). Is it possible to calculate non-pairwise effect size of only dog, cat, rabbit, mouse ie by first filtering out the water samples?

Alternatively, is it possible to derive non-pairwise effect sizes for the four species based on pairwise effect sizes? For instance, I calculate pairwise effect sizes based on all five variables (water, dog, cat, rabbit, mouse) then I ignore the pairwise effect sizes that involves water samples. Using the remaining effect sizes (related to dog, cat, rabbit, mouse), can I calculate a non-pairwise effect size?

Thank you for your time.

Hi @melissaszy, if I understand correctly your question: yes, you can simply ignore the pairwise calculation against water. However, I think it will be best if you remove those samples from your feature table or distance matrix and then calculate the effect size of the rest of the samples. Hope this helps.
