Blocking Designs Improve Sensitivity of Tests


Balanced Incomplete Block Design

  • We will not cover in this class

  • Occurs when the block size is less than the treatment size

  • Is balanced in that any pair of treatments occur together the same number times as any other pair of observations.


Importance of ANOVA

  • What analysis technique was used for the RBCD, Latin Squares and Graeco-Latin Squares design?

  • Must master this technique (if you have not)


Model Adequacy Checking

  • Very important topic
  • Should be performed for every model
  • Residual analysis is the same as the one-way ANOVA
