Type I Error Rates Of The Kenward-Roger F-Test For A Split-Plot Design With Missing Values And Non-Normal Data, Miguel A. Padilla, Youngkyoung Min, Guili Zhang

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The Type I error of the Kenward-Roger (KR) F-test was assessed through a simulation study for a between- by within-subjects split-plot design with non-normal ignorable missing data. The KR-test for the between- and within-subjects main effect was robust under all simulation variables investigated and when the data were missing completely at random (MCAR). This continued to hold for the between-subjects main effect when data were missing at random (MAR). For the interaction, the KR F-test performed fairly well at controlling Type I under MCAR and the simulation variables investigated. However, under MAR, the KR F-test for the …
