Eta Squared (η²) Calculator

Calculate effect size for ANOVA (proportion of variance explained)

About Eta Squared

Eta Squared (η²): SS_effect / SS_total - proportion of variance explained.

Omega Squared (ω²): Less biased estimate, preferred for population inferences.

Interpretation (Cohen, 1988):

  • η² < 0.01: Negligible
  • 0.01 ≤ η² < 0.06: Small
  • 0.06 ≤ η² < 0.14: Medium
  • η² ≥ 0.14: Large
