Experimental Design & Analysis Three-Factor Experiments March 6, 2007 DOCTORAL SEMINAR, SPRING SEMESTER 2007
Three-Factor Experiments • Advantage of 3-factor experiment is that it allows greater understanding of theoretical relationships • 2-way interaction may be further qualified • For men vs. women • For children vs. adults • For large companies vs. small companies • For Americans vs. Europeans
Three-Factor Analysis 2x2x2 factorial design
Three-Factor Analysis • Examining the model for sources of variance when A, B and C are independent variables • A • B • C • AxB, BxC, AxC • AxBxC • S/AxBxC Main effects Two-wayinteractions Three-way interaction
Three-Factor Analysis • Sources of variance when A, B and C are independent variables • A • B • C • AxB, AxC, BxC • AxBxC • S/AxBxC Yijk = μ + αi + βj + γk + (αβ)ij + (αγ)ik + (βγ)jk + (αβγ)ijk+ εijk Error term, also known as S/AxBxC, or randomness Interaction effect of α, γ Interaction effect of β, γ Interaction effect of α, β Interaction effect of α,β, γ (effect left in data after subtracting off lower-order effects)
Three-Factor Analysis • Sums of squares SST = SSA + SSB + SSC +SSAxB + SSAxC + SSBxC + SSAxBxC + SSS/ABC
Is 3-way interaction significant? Yes Examine simple interactions (two 2-way interactions, e.g. interaction of AxB at C1 and interaction of AxB at C2) If simple interactions are significant, examine contrasts Is 3-way interaction significant? No Collapse 3-way design into 2-way design for analysis and interpretation Three-Factor Analysis
