Lab 3 - Experimental Design and ANOVA Flashcards
types of common experimental designs
- completely randomized design
- randomized complete block design
- latin square
- split plot design
completely randomized design
- treatments are assigned randomly so that each treatment has the same chance of receiving any one treatment
- simplest design, low error
when is completely randomized design best used
best for experiments where experimental materials are homogenous and not heterogenous
what experimental design is this
completely randomized design
randomized complete block design
- uses blocking/grouping of similar experimental units where each block is the same size and equal to the number of treatments
- each treatment is randomly assigned t 1 experimental unit in every block
- helps with heterogeneity
what type of experimental design is this
randomized complete block design
latin square
- 2 blocking/groupings of treatment and experiments, where for every treatment, there is a replicate
- treatment occurs once in every row and column
when is the latin square design most suitable
when there are a small number of entries/treatments
what type of experimental design is this
Latin square
split plot design
main plot treatments are randomly assigned to main plots and then the subplot treatments are randomly assigned in each main plot
what type of experimental design is this
split plot design
