  1. Stat 470-5 • Today: General Linear Model • Assignment 1:

  2. General Linear Model • ANOVA model can be viewed as a special case of the general linear model or regression model • Suppose have response, y, which is thought to be related to p predictors (sometimes called explanatory variables or regressors) • Predictors: x1, x2,…,xp • Model:

  3. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16) • In winter, a plastic rain gauge cannot be used to collect precipitation because it will freeze and crack. Instead, metal cans are used to collect snowfall and the snow is allowed to melt indoors. The water is then poured into a plastic rain gauge and a measurement recorded. An estimate of snowfall is obtained by multiplying this measurement by 0.44. • One observer questions this and decides to collect data to test the validity of this approach • For each rainfall in a summer, she measures: (i) rainfall using a plastic rain gauge, (ii) using a metal can • What is the current model being used?

  4. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16)

  5. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16) • Seems to be a linear relationship • Will use regression to establish linear relationship between x and y • What should the slope be?

  6. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16)

  7. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16)

  8. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16)

  9. Example: Rainfall (Exercise 2.16)

  10. Comments • General linear model may have many predictors • Is suitable for many situations • Easily done in all stats packages

  11. Designs So Far… • Have considered 1-factor designs: • Paired comparisons (paired t-test) • Completely randomized design (ANOVA) • Frequently have more than one factor • We will learn to design and analyze such experiments

  12. Example: Penicillin Experiment • Objective: Compare four processes for making penicillin • The raw material used in the process is thought to vary substantially from batch to batch • Experiment Design: • Use five separately produced batches of raw material • Divide each batch into four sub-batches • Randomly assign each process to one sub-batch. • Randomize the production order within each batch • Measure the yield (%)

  13. Blocking • Paired comparisons (Section 2.1) is a special case of a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design • More generally: • Have k treatments • have b blocks • each of the k treatments is applied (in random order) to each block

  14. Blocking • Units within a block are more homogeneous than units between blocks • Can remove variability due to blocks (e.g., boy to boy variability) from the comparison of treatments

  15. Model • i=1, 2, …, b; • j=1, 2, …,k;

  19. Example: Penicillin Experiment • Objective: Compare four processes for making penicillin • The raw material used in the process is thought to vary substantially from batch to batch • Experiment Design: • Use five separately produced batches of raw material • Divide each batch into four sub-batches • Randomly assign each process to one sub-batch. • Randomize the production order within each batch • Measure the yield (%) • This is a RCB design with b = k =

  20. Data: Penicillin Example

  21. Yield versus Process (grouped by blocks)

  22. Observations: • Some consistent differences among batches: generally, B1 high, B5 low • No apparent consistent differences among processes

  23. ANOVA – Randomized Block Design

  24. Conclusions • F-value for Processes is not significant at • F-value for Batches (P = .04) is significant at … indicates some differences among batches of raw material • We suspected batch differences; that’s why the design was done this way. This result is no surprise or of particular interest, in this case. • Which would you use?

  25. Diagnostic Checking • Residual plots -- penicillin experiment • To check Normality assumption: • plot all residuals: dot chart, histogram, Normal prob. plot • To check assumption of equal variances: • dot plot of residuals by Treatment • dot plot of residuals by Block • Other possible checks: • plot residuals vs. testing order • plot residuals vs. other potential sources of variability • e.g., vs. technician, or machine, etc.

  26. Randomized Block Design -- Summary • Objective: • Compare several treatments for a factor • eliminate source of variability from comparison of treatments • broaden conclusions • Experimental Method: • create b blocks each with a experimental units • in each block, randomly assign each treatment to one experimental unit • Analysis: • ANOVA: Blocks, Treatments, Error are sources of variation

  27. Why Bother? • Can remove variability due to blocks (e.g., boy to boy variability) from the comparison of treatments • Removing source of variability often increases power to detect treatment differences • Make comparisons on more homogeneous units

  28. Examples of Blocking Variables • Blocks are units that can be sub-divided into sub-units • Time: • Space • People: • Batches:
