What is the probability that the 3 “worst” streams are randomly assigned to the pollutant treatment? 3/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/40 or 5%
Scenario 3 Before After B C B C A A + chemical in alkaline solution Before After E F E F D D control
Before After B C B C A A Before After E F E F D D Scenario 4 + pollutant control
Insect abundance = m1 * width + m2 * dioxin + m3 * width*dioxin + Y-intercept (and error)
Summary of control types • Which scenarios lacked: • Control for initial conditions? • Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control? • Control for side effect of manipulation? • Control for covariates? • Control for non-target response?
BACI design Before After Control Impact • Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control • Initial conditions • Eg. Scenario 3 Before After + pollutant Before After control
BACI design Before After Control Impact • Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control • Initial conditions Before After control + pollutant

Before After + pollutant Before After control How can we analyze BACI designs? Randomized block? A treatment x date ANOVA? What is n? What is k? How many independent experimental units in total? A B C G H I D E F J K L
Before After + pollutant Before After control How can we analyze BACI designs? Two separate ANOVAs / t-tests? Different? Different?
How can we analyze BACI designs? Two separate ANOVAs / t-tests? Impact sites Y variable before after before after before after before after A B C
How can we analyze BACI designs? • Need to have match the number of datapoints with the number of experimental units • Need to take advantage of built-in control for stream identity
How can we analyze BACI designs? One solution: Use difference between before and after as the data! Before After Difference A B C A B C A B C + pollutant Before After Difference control D E F D E F D E F
