Design and Analysis of Single Factor Experiments Class

1. The document discusses single factor experiments and analysis of variance (ANOVA). It describes terminology like factors, levels, treatments, and responses. 2. An example is provided of a completely randomized experiment measuring moisture absorption in concrete from different aggregates. ANOVA is performed and differences between group means are investigated. 3. Multiple comparison methods like Fisher's least significant difference method are explained and applied to the example to determine which group means are significantly different.

Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, it is expected that the students will be able to:

1. Understand Single Factor experiments.


2. Perform the One-Way ANOVA
3. Perform multiple comparison following ANOVA
4. Know residual analysis and model adequacy
5. Solve problems involving single factor and interpret the solution
Experiments Involving One Factor

Terminology
Factor: Controlled variable whose effect on the outcome is being investigated.

Level: Value that is assigned to the factor, and many levels of the same factor
maybe tested

Treatment: The level of the factor are sometimes called treatments

Replicates : repeat of the experiment at the same treatment

Response: The response is treated as a random variable. Normally, we


denote the response as y.
Completely Randomized Experiments

ANOVA – Analysis of Variance –


• one very common procedure used to deal with testing population means.
• Used to partition the total sum of squares into a portion due to regression
and a portion due to error
• To compare unpaired means between more than two groups on a
continuous data
Completely Randomized Experiments
Example
Suppose in an industrial experiment that an engineer is interested in how the mean absorption of
moisture in concrete varies among 5 different concrete aggregates. The samples are exposed to
moisture for 48 hours. It is decided that 6 samples are to be tested for each aggregate, requiring a
total of 30 samples to be tested. The data are recorded in below table.

Multiple Comparison Methods
When the null hypothesis Ho: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2 = 𝜇3 = 𝜇4 = 𝜇5 is rejected in the ANOVA, we know that
some of the treatment or factor level means are different. However, the ANOVA does not
identify which means are different. Methods for investigating this issue are called multiple
comparison methods
Multiple Comparison Methods
Multiple Comparison Methods
From the example problem, we will apply the fisher LSD method to the
absorption of moisture experiment. There are 5 levels or treatment, n = 6,
MSE = 4,960.81 and t0.025, 25 = 2.059539
Multiple Comparison Methods

From the analysis, we see that


there are significant differences
between 4 vs 1, 4 vs 2, 4 vs 3 and
4 vs 5 and that it produce
different moisture absorption.
This implies that the other
comparison produce
approximately the same moisture
absorption
