More Efficient – compared to 1-factor testing • More Informative – includes interactions
In general, a levels of factor A, b levels of factor B and n replicates requires abn tests. • Effects model () has terms for: • Effect of A • Effect of B • Effect of A-B Interaction • Error • 2 Factor ANOVA to establish significance of each term. • SST=SSA+SSB+SSAB+SSE • Each SS divided by it’s degree of freedom is a mean square (MS) • Expected value of each of the first 4 MS values is the sum of σ2 and the relevant effect • The last value, MSE, is all σ2. • If the relevant effect is significant, then the ratio of MS:MSE > 1 • Ratios of MS distributed as ‘F’ if everything is noise. • If the ratio is improbable then all is not noise. • So the ANOVA output contains a ‘P-Value’ for ‘Fo’ that should be less than 0.05 if we wish to consider the effect significant.
If the model should have terms for A, B, and AB, then n >= 2. • n also improves resolution (the difference in means can still be determined even if they are close together)
Three way (& more) interactions are possible, but unusual • Response surface can be more complex if more complex interactions are present.
