diff_eff.rbd: Randomized Block Design

In acAnik10/DoEtoolsR: Handy Tools for Design of Experiments in R

Randomized Block Design

Description

Test for Significant Treatment effects and Differential Effects of Treatment Contrasts for an RBD

Usage

diff_eff.rbd(resp, trt, blocks, los = 0.05)

Arguments

resp	The response variable vector
trt	The treatment vector
blocks	The vector containing Block/Replicate indices
los	Level of significance (Default is 0.05)

Details

In experimental designs if test of differential effect gets rejected we might be interested in analyzing which pair of treatments is behind the rejection. For RBD we need to calculate the estimate of the treatment contrast (tau_j - tau_j') and test H0: tau_j = tau_j' for plausible rejection. The estimate of (tau_j - tau_j') is (y_0j - y_0j') which follows N(tau_j - tau_j', 2*sigma^2/b). Under H_0, the test statistic (y_0j - y_0j')/sqrt(2*MSE/b) follows t_(b-1)(v-1).

Value

A list containing - ANOVA Table, Decision Table, Rejected Pairs, Mean Square Error, Critical Point
