The Matched Pairs Report<br />

Figure 8.4 Example of Matched Pairs Report<br />

Note: The red triangle menu provides additional options that can add reports to the initial report window.<br />

See “Matched Pairs Platform Options” on page 241.<br />

Difference Plot <strong>and</strong> Report<br />

The Difference plot shows differences by means. In the Difference plot, note the following:<br />

• The mean difference is shown as the horizontal line, with the 95% confidence interval above <strong>and</strong> below<br />

shown as dotted lines. If the confidence region includes zero, then the means are not significantly<br />

different at the 0.05 level. In this example the difference is significant.<br />

• If you add a reference frame, the mean of pairs is shown by the vertical line. For details about a reference<br />

frame, see “Matched Pairs Platform Options” on page 241.<br />

The Difference report shows the mean of each response, the difference of the means, <strong>and</strong> a confidence<br />

interval for the difference. The Difference report also shows the results of the paired t-test.<br />

Across Groups<br />

Note: The Across Groups report appears only if you have specified an X, Grouping variable.<br />

The Across Groups analysis corresponds to a simple repeated measures analysis. (You can get the same test<br />

results using the Manova personality of the Fit Model platform.)
