Confidence Intervals for Squared Effect Size Estimates in ANOVA: What
Confidence Coefficient Should be Employed?
If you want the confidence interval to be equivalent to the ANOVA F test of the
effect (which employs a one-tailed, upper tailed, probability) you should employ a
confidence coefficient of (1 - 2α). For example, for the usual .05 criterion of statistical
significance, use a 90% confidence interval, not 95%. This is illustrated below.
A two-way independent samples ANOVA was conducted and produced this
output:

Eta-square and a corresponding 95% Confidence Interval will be computed for
each effect. To put a confidence interval on the
η
2 we need to compute an adjusted
F. To adjust the F we first compute an adjusted error term. For the main effect of

. In effect we are putting
back into the error term all of the variance accounted for by other effects in our model.

For main effects, one can also get the adjusted F by simply doing a one way
ANOVA with only the main effect of interest in the model:
