MANE 6313

Week 6, Module D

Student Learning Outcome

  • Select an appropriate experimental design with one or more factors,
  • Select an appropriate model with one or more factors,
  • Evaluate statistical analyses of experimental designs,
  • Assess the model adequacy of any experimental design, and
  • Interpret model results.

Module Learning Outcome

Assessing multiple comparisons


Multiple Comparison

  • When the analysis indicates that a main effect factor(s) or interaction are/ is significant, we can employ multiple comparisons techniques on those statistically significant terms
  • Only appropriate for fixed model
  • Care must be taken when dealing with interactions
  • Analysis is very similar to the approach used in One-Way Analysis of Variance in Week 4

Tukey's Analysis for 5.9


R Output

  • Performs Tukey's Procedure for main effects and two-factor interaction
  • Notice number of comparisons

  • For Feed Rate with 3 levels, there are \({3\choose 2} = 3\) comparisons

  • For Depth of Cut with 4 levels, there are \({4\choose 2}=6\) comparisons
  • For the Feed Rate:Depth of Cut interaction with 12 levels, there are \({12\choose 2}=66\) comparisons
