Two-way ANOVA • A study investigated the effects of 4 treatments (A, B, C, D) on 3 toxic agents (I, II, III). • 48 rats were randomly assigned to 12 factor level combinations.
Two-way ANOVA • Y: the response variable • Factor A with levels i=1 to a • Factor B with levels j = 1 to b • A particular combination of levels is called a treatment or a cell. There are treatments • is the kth observation for treatment (i,j), k = 1 to n
Two-way ANOVA • The factor effect model
Two-way ANOVA • The factor effect model: constraints
Two-way ANOVA • Estimates • Sum of squares (SS)
Two-way ANOVA • Test for Factor A • Test For Factor B
Two-way ANOVA • Test for Interaction Effect
Two-way ANOVA • One observation per cell (n=1) • Cannot estimate the interaction, have to assume no interaction
Randomized Complete Block Design • Useful when the experiments are non-homogenous • Rats are bred from different labs • Patients belong to different age groups • Randomized Block design can used to reduce the variance
Randomized Complete Block Design • A “block” consists of a complete replication of the set of treatments • Block and treatments usually are assumed not having interactions • Advantages: • Effective grouping can give substantially more precise results • Can accommodate any number of treatments and replications • Statistical analysis is relatively simple • If an entire block needs to be dropped, the analysis is not complicated thereby
Randomized Complete Block Design • Disadvantages • The degree of freedom for experiment error are not as large as with a completely randomized design • More assumptions (no interaction between block and treatment, constant variance from block to block) • Blocking is an observational factor and not an experimental factor, cause-and-effect inferences cannot be made for the blocking variable and the response
Randomized Complete Block Design • The model (similar to additive two-way ANOVA) • block effect treatment effect
Random effect designs • Fixed effect models • Levels of each factor are fixed • Interested in differences in response among those specific levels • Random effect model • Random effect factor: factor levels are meant to be representative of a general population of possible levels • If there are both fixed and random effects, call it mixed effect model
Random effect designs • One way random model
Random Effect designs • Hypothesis • Testing statistic
Random effect designs • Two random factors
Random effect designs • There are five parameters in this model • For balanced design
Random effect designs • Hypothesis testing: main effects
Random effect designs • Hypothesis testing: interaction effects
To be continued • Mixed effect models • Unbalanced two-way ANOVA
