Analysis of Variance


BIOMETRICS


COMPARING TWO MEANS: Xbar1 – Xbar2 / Sx1 – Sx2 ~ t
can’t define numerator for >2 means

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE: Comparing more than two means. When μ1 not = μ2, an estimate of variance using means will include a contribution attributable to the difference between population means. This ‘treatment’ effect will lead to a biased estimate of variance and large F.


F = σ 2+ trt / σ = S2b / S2w ~ F(.)

If means are different, then S2b > S2w , then F will be large. A large significant F value allows you to reject the null hypothesis that the means are equal.

Linear Additive Model: Yij = U + Ti + Eij

Or in matrix form: Y = Xb + e where Y = a matrix of individual observations. X = a ‘design matrix of 1’s and 0’s, & b = a matrix of co-efficients of the population mean and treatment effects ‘t’. or ( U + Ti) = Xb

SS Total = Y’Y – Y’CY’C(1/n)
SS Between/Model=b’X’Y - Y’CY’C(1/n)
SS Within/Error =Y’Y’ – B’X’Y
Where ‘C’ is a matrix of 1’s

RCB:
( Blocks)
(treatments) A B C D E
1 x x x x x
2 x x x x x
3 x x x x x
4 x x x x x


  1. If treatments or blocks differ, look at individual differences in means via LSD.
  2. Contrasts: Q = CiYi ( orthogonal) MS(Q) = Q2 / r sum(Ci2), a subset of a linear function, a way of comparing different means.

LATIN SQUARE:

Each row is a comparable block with treatments A-D occurring only once in each block.

FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTS:

  1. # treatments consists of several categories, levels
  2. May be used to determine optimal levels
  3. Interaction: difference in response levels-non additive, measures homogeneity of a response.

Polynomial Responses: partitioning SS into linear and quadratic components- response surfaces


SPLIT PLOT DESIGNS


Whole plots divided into sub-plots where levels of factors are applied.

Block #1

A4B2
A4B1
A1B2
A1B1
A2B1
A2B2
A3B1
A3B2
A4B2
A4B1

Incomplete block re ‘A’ , complete block re ‘B’

SPLIT BLOCK EXPERIMENTS


Split plot in time vs. space ex: time or cutting represents an abstract split plot ‘a’ cultivars, ‘b’ cuttings.

ANALYSIS OF COVARIANCE


  1. Observed variation in Y is partly due to variation in X.
  2. Use regression to eliminate effects that cannot be controlled by experimental design.

Ex: animals in a block with varying initial weights, use covariance to remove effect from experimental error.

Yij = μ + Ti + pj + B(Xij – Xbar) + eij

B = Cov(X,Y) / Var(X)

Carry out AOV on values adjusted for regression on an independent variable.
