Raincloud plots in JASP (3way interaction)

  Hi,

  
  

  just so that I understand you correctly:

  There is one dependent variable: rating

  There is one within-participant factor: time (five levels)

  And there are two between-participant factors: X and Y (each two levels).

  
  

  With that, your best option would probably be the following approach

  via the new Descriptives submodule for raincloud plots.

  
  

  rating -> Dependent Variables

  time -> Primary Factor

  X -> Secondary Factor

  Y -> Covariate (because discrete covariates are also supported)

  
  

  To also connect all five points (levels of the primary factor) for each participant, you can assign the variable that specifies the participant ID in your data frame to the "ID" input field.

  
  

  IMPORTANT: The descriptives submodule requires your data to be in long format.

  However, from your post sounds like that you have your data in wide format, since you seem to enter the five levels of the time factor as separate dependent variables. This might be what gives your five plots.

  
  

  Here is what a wide data frame looks like (the dependent variable itself has no explicit name):

  ID - time1 - time2 - time3 - time4 - time5

  97 - 1 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 1

  98 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 3

  
  

  Here is what the data frame looks like in long format (dependent variable, rating, is explicitly named):

  ID - time - rating

  97 - 1 - 1

  97 - 2 - 3

  97 - 3 - 4

  97 - 4 - 1

  97 - 5 - 1

  98 - 1 - 2

  98 - 2 - 2

  98 - 3 - 1

  98 - 4 - 1

  98 - 5 - 3

  
  

  To transform your dataframe from wide format to long format,

  you could use this handy tool by Luke Korthals:

  Hope this helps! :)

  This is a test comment. I just wrote a reply but it need approval first?

  I am curious whether this comment will go through.

  Well... let me try again.

  
  

  As I understand, there are the following variables:

  
  

  dependent Variable: Rating

  within-participant factor: time (5 levels)

  two between-participant factors: X and Y (each with 2 levels)

  participant ID

  
  

  If I further understand correctly, then your data frame is currently in wide format.

  There is not one column for rating and another for time but instead you have five different columns that contain the ratings at each time.

  In order to plot your data in the new descriptives submodule for rainclouds, however, you need the data in long format.

  Here is a handy tool by Luke Korthals that can transfrom your dataframe from wide to long format

  lukekorthals . shinyapps . io / shiny-data-witch /

  (Maybe my last comment got removed because of the link?)

  
  

  Once your data is in long format, you can use the new submodule as follows:

  rating -> dependent variable

  time -> primary factor

  X -> secondary factor

  Y -> covariate (since discrete covariates are possible)

  ID -> ID

  
  

  Hope this helps! :)

  It should give you a single plot.

  However, if this is too cluttered, you could also remove the covariate and duplicate your jasp file.

  Then, you could filter out one of the levels of Y in one jasp file and filter out the other level in the other jasp file. Then you have two plots, one for each level of Y.

  Ah I overlooked the long format necessity. Thanks for helping me out and pointing me to the handy app!
