Lab K. An exercise in experimental design and implementation. To make a Latin square…. Create a random order of the levels, (e.g. BACD for a four-level IV) Sequentially number the levels in this random order starting with 1. (e.g. B=1, A=2, C=3 and D=4)

Lab K An exercise in experimental design and implementation
To make a Latin square… • Create a random order of the levels, (e.g. BACD for a four-level IV) • Sequentially number the levels in this random order starting with 1. (e.g. B=1, A=2, C=3 and D=4) • To create the first order in the Latin square, put the last number/level in the 3rd position, (e.g. 1, 2, 4, 3). If we had more than four levels, N say, then every subsequent unevenly numbered position (e.g. 5, 7, and so on) would have one less than the previous unevenly numbered position as shown in the following table.
