Stability analysis and G*E interactions in plantsRachana Bagudam
Gene–environment interaction is when two different genotypes respond to environmental variation in different ways. Stability refers to the performance with respective to environmental factors overtime within given location. Selection for stability is not possible until a biometrical model with suitable parameters is available to provide criteria necessary to rank varieties / breeds for stability. Different models of stability are discussed.
Crop is defined as an “Aggregation of individual plant species grown in a unit area for economic purpose”.
Growth is defined as an “Irreversible increase in size and volume and is the consequence of differentiation and distribution occurring in the plant”.
Simulation is defined as “Reproducing the essence of a system without reproducing the system itself”. In simulation the essential characteristics of the system are reproduced in a model, which is then studied in an abbreviated time scale.

Guidelines to Understanding Design of Experiment and Reliability Predictionijsrd.com
This paper will focus on how to plan experiments effectively and how to analyse data correctly. Practical and correct methods for analysing data from life testing will also be provided. This paper gives an extensive overview of reliability issues, definitions and prediction methods currently used in the industry. It defines different methods and correlations between these methods in order to make reliability comparison statements from different manufacturers' in easy way that may use different prediction methods and databases for failure rates. The paper finds however such comparison very difficult and risky unless the conditions for the reliability statements are scrutinized and analysed in detail.
Adaptive Clinical Trials: Role of Modelling and Simulation SGS
To increase the efficiency of trials in drug development, optimal experimental design has been used to successfully optimize dose allocation and sampling schedules. Better incremental decisions in Phase I and II result in greater likelihood that the safety and efficacy of the right dose is being studied, for the right indication and in the right patient population. This approach involves a pre-planned adaptation of aspects of study design based on statistical and/or pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis. From a modelling and simulation (M&S) perspective, a prior understanding of concentration (dose)-efficacy and of concentration (dose)-toxicity relationship is needed.
Here is a piece of detailed information about the experimental design used in the field of statistics. This also features some information on the three most widely accepted and most widely used designs.
The design of Farm cart 0011 report 1 2020musadoto
This report describes the best designing of a 200cc FARM CART MACHINE which will be useful to the farm fields due to the fact that, the purchase, repair and maintenance are affordable to all level of income earners. Despite the cost effectiveness of the machine, the report also tries to justify that the machine can be used multipurposely as it serves the purposes of been used as farm transport, mowering machine, boom spraying and or mini planter with two rows. All these can be achieved as long as the implements are attached with respect to the power capacity of the farm cart.
The report tells only the design and testing of machine excluding its farm implements design. Some best reviews from other study projects done by other people in the world provided a good reference for designing and implementation of this project. The project is initially costly because it needs to develop a prototype and test the different first ideas.
The project report describes the important of choosing to use the designed farm cart machine compared to other farm machines at the market which are most efficiently to be used by farmers in their fields.
The challenges are inevitable in any project, here in designing of this 200cc farm machine, the major issue is the funding because the fund for this project is from the pocket which is always insufficient as it depends to the meals and accommodation money distribution sponsored from the HIGH EDUCATION STUDENTS LOAN BOARD (HESLB) thus it takes longer to accomplish the project by waiting another quarter of the semester to continue with the project which affects the other part of normal life(in terms of meals and accommodation).
The report recommends that, the department of engineering sciences and technology and Sokoine University of Agriculture as a whole should invest into this technology by utilizing fully the idea and funding the project for more better improvement so as to attain the desired standard that can with stand the different farm field factors. These when taken into consideration there is a possibility to achieve the industrialization policy in our country and thereafter it is a better approach to modern agriculture.

Hardeninig of steel (Jominy test)-CoET- udsmmusadoto
Controlling a material’s properties during processing is pivotal for any engineering field. A specific hardness for a metal is often a desirable characteristic for many applications, so controlling hardness is important during processing. To increase the hardness of steel, it is often quenched from a high temperature to form martensite, a hard yet brittle phase of iron. The extent of martensite formation, including hardness and depth of formation, is known as hardenability. This practical provides an experiment for measurement of hardenability in plain carbon steel and an alloyed steel according to, the Jominy End-Quench Test , (ASTM A255 – 10). The demonstration exercise involve quenching one end of a heated steel sample ,comparing and evaluating the hardness distribution using measurements obtained at different locations(distance interval) on the sample(specimens) surface.
1.1 The aim of the experiment
The aim of the experiment is to test the usefulness of the ultrasonic waves, by passing them through different
solids one can find out a lot of physical properties like young’s modulus , defects, Poisson ratio, Velocity of
sound in respective material this is due to the response of the received ultrasonic waves.
1.2 Theory of experiment
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a family of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short ultrasonic pulse-waves with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15 MHz, and occasionally up to 50 MHz, are transmitted into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials. A common example is ultrasonic thickness measurement, which tests the thickness of the test object, for example, to monitor pipework corrosion.
Ultrasonic testing is often performed on steel and other metals and alloys, though it can also be used on concrete, wood and composites, albeit with less resolution. It is used in many industries including steel and aluminium construction, metallurgy, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and other transportation sectors.

DIESEL ENGINE POWER REPORT -AE 215 -SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI engine), named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel which is injected into the combustion chamber is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression (adiabatic compression). Diesel engines work by compressing only the air. This increases the air temperature inside the cylinder to such a high degree that atomised diesel fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to petrol), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. In diesel engines, glow plugs (combustion chamber pre-warmers) may be used to aid starting in cold weather, or when the engine uses a lower compression-ratio, or both. The original diesel engine operates on the "constant pressure" cycle of gradual combustion and produces no audible knock.
A diesel engine built by MAN AG in 1906
Detroit Diesel timing
Fairbanks Morse model 32
The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency (engine efficiency) of any practical internal or external combustion engine due to its very high expansion ratio and inherent lean burn which enables heat dissipation by the excess air. A small efficiency loss is also avoided compared to two-stroke non-direct-injection gasoline engines since unburned fuel is not present at valve overlap and therefore no fuel goes directly from the intake/injection to the exhaust. Low-speed diesel engines (as used in ships and other applications where overall engine weight is relatively unimportant) can have a thermal efficiency that exceeds 50%.[1][2

ENGINE POWER PETROL REPORT-AE 215-SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
What is an Engine?
Before knowing about how the Petrol Engine works, let's first understand what an engine is. This is common for both petrol and diesel engines alike. An engine is a power generating machine which converts potential energy of the fuel into heat energy and then into motion. It produces power and also runs on its own power.
The engine generates its power by burning the fuel in a self-regulated and controlled „Combustion‟ process. The combustion process involves many sub-processes which burn the fuel efficiently and results in the smooth running of the engine.
These processes include:
The suction of air (also known as breathing or aspiration).
Mixing of the fuel with air after breaking the liquid fuel into highly atomized / mist form.
Igniting the air-fuel mixture with a spark (petrol engine).
Burning of highly atomized fuel particles which results in releasing / ejection of heat energy.
How does an Engine work?
The engine converts Heat Energy into Kinetic Energy in the form of „Reciprocating Motion‟. The expansion of heated gases and their forces act on the engine pistons. The gases push the pistons downwards which results in reciprocating motion of pistons.
This motion of the piston enables the crank-shaft to rotate. Thus, it finally converts the reciprocating motion into the 'Rotary motion' and passes on to wheels.
A petrol engine (known as a gasoline engine in American English) is an internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
In most petrol engines, the fuel and air are usually mixed after compression (although some modern petrol engines now use cylinder-direct petrol injection). The pre-mixing was formerly done in a carburetor, but now it is done by electronically controlled fuel injection, except in small engines where the cost/complication of electronics does not justify the added engine efficiency. The process differs from a diesel engine in the method of mixing the fuel and air, and in using spark plugs to initiate the combustion process. In a diesel engine, only air is compressed
TRACTOR POWER REPORT -AE 215 SOURCES OF FARM POWER 2018musadoto
A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements 0may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
The word Tractor is derived prior to 1900, the Machine were known as traction motor (pulling-machine).After the year 1900 both the words are joined by taking ‘Tract’ from Traction and ‘Tor” from motor calling it a Tractor.
In our Country tractors were started manufacturing in real sense after independence and at present we are self-sufficient in meeting demand of country’s requirement for tractors. Our country is basically an agricultural country where 75% of our population is directly or indirectly connected with agriculture. This cannot be produced with our conventional bullock pulled agricultural implements. Tractor is one of the basic agricultural machines
used for speeding up agriculture production.
WIND ENERGY REPORT AE 215- 2018 SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
Wind is the flow of gases on large scale. On the surface of the earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases and charged particles from the sun though space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical from a planet’s atmosphere into space. Wind by their spatial scale, their speed, the type of force that cause them, the region in which they occur and their effect. The strongest observed winds on planet in solar system occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspects, an important one being its velocity, density of the gas involved and energy content of the wind.
Wind is almost entirely caused by the effects of the sun which, each hour, delivers 175 million watts of energy to the earth. This energy heats the planet’s surface, most intensively at the equator, which causes air to rise. This rising air creates an area of low pressure at the surface into which cooler air is sucked, and it is this flow of air that we know as “wind”. In reality atmospheric circulation is much more complicated and, after rising at the equator air travels pole wards. As it travels the air cools and eventually descends to the earth’s surface at about 30° latitude (north and south), from where it returns once again to the equator (a closed loop known as a Hadley Cell). Similar cells exist between 30° and 60° latitude (the Ferrell Cells) and between 60° latitude and each of the poles (the Polar Cells). Within these cells, the flow of air is further impacted by the rotation of the earth or the "Coriolis Effect". This effect creates a sideways force which causes air to circulate anticlockwise around areas of low pressure in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere
In summary, the origin of winds may be traced basically to uneven heating of the earth’s surface due to sun. This may lead to circulation of widespread winds on a global basis, producing planetary winds or may have a limited influence in a smaller area to cause local winds.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Farms or farmers in non-farm survey/trials
Patients in medical trials
Farms in disease survey/trials
12. Response variable
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments13
Measured as the outcome of interest in the experiment. E.g.
weight gained by calves after diet use
In many agriculture experiments the yield of experimental units
to treatments is mostly a measurement of interest e.g. yield of
wheat, milk yield.
13. Response variable(1)
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments14
Differences in the response variable from different experimental
units subjected to the same treatment may be due to number of
small uncontrollable differences versus slight differences in
Environment- temperature, soil conditions (fertility, acidity,
human), pests, diseases
Raw materials-slight differences in seed condition
Management regimes
14. Experimental error
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments15
All variations that can be attributed to the effects of all non-
treatment factors and other unidentified disturbance factor(s)
15. Contribution of statistics to
experimentation
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments16
Planning the experiment so that appropriate data can be
generated
Knowing the mechanism generated data help to identify
appropriate statistical methods
Attain valid and objective conclusions
16. Principles of Experimental Design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments17
Replication
Randomization
Blocking
17. replication
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments18
Number of times each treatment is repeated
Instead of having a single large plot of each treatment, there are
several smaller ones known as replicates
The difference in responses for the same treatment is due to
experimental error
Experimental error must be small for a well designed study
18. Why replicates?
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments19
Replication is desirable because it
Enlarges scope of investigation
Enhances precision and overall efficiency
Minimizes experimental error because it reduces plot size to a
precision-enhancing form
Permits determination of experimental error
19. Properties of replication
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments20
basic unit of measurement for determining whether the
observed differences in the data are really statistically
different
Permits precise estimation of treatment effect if sample mean
is used to estimate the effect of a factor, e.g., if 𝜎2
is the
variance of an individual observation and there are n
replicates, the variance of the sample mean 𝜎 𝑦
2
=
𝜎2
𝑛
20. randomization
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments21
Act of assigning treatments to the experimental units purely on
the basis of chance i.e. every treatment has equal chance of being
allocated to any given plot
Statistical methods require that the observations be
independently random variables
Averaging out the effects of extraneous factors present i.e.,
systematic effects are not under the control of the investigator
Statistical estimation and tests of hypothesis on effects are
theoretically valid
21. Why randomize?
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments22
Overcome systematic effects
Avoid selection bias
Minimize accidental bias
Stop experimental cheating (for good or bad)
Ensure no particular patterns in treatment allocation
22. How to randomize
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments23
Table of random numbers
Computer package
Randomization schemes, such as simple and permuted blocks
23. blocking
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments24
Heterogeneous experimental units are divided into
homogeneous subgroups called blocks to facilitate isolation of
block variation that could distort treatment effects
Heterogeneity may be due to soil fertility, land gradient, animal
weights, age, etc.
Used to improve the precision when comparisons among the
factors of interest are made.
Reduce or eliminate the variability transmitted from nuisance
factors i.e., factors that influence experimental response
24. Blocking variables (1)
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments25
In agricultural experiments;
Soil type or fertility level
Extent and nature of previous cropping
Degree of pest infestation
Direction of wind in wind-control pest disease trial
Moisture level
26. Why blocking?
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments27
Blocking is an error-control strategy that when used effectively
reduces error variances
increases precision
Reliability of estimates of effects
27. Advantages of blocking
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments28
Guarantee that the same number of two different
homogeneous groups will receive each treatment
Increases the range of validity for the conclusions from the
experiment i.e., provide sufficient variability between groups
of experimental units in different groups for a wider range of
generalizability
High precision because of small experimental errors within
blocks
28. Experimental validity
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments29
Assessment of the quality of an experimental design requires
knowledge of the factors that influence or cause variation in the
measured outcomes
Two concepts to consider
Internal validity
conclusion can be made only about the relationship between
dependent and independent variables
External validity
Conclusion from the experiment can be appropriately generalized
to a wider situation of interest
29. assignment
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments30
With respect to your profession design an experiment based
on the following;
experimental units
treatments
response variable
use three principles of experimental design
is that experiment valid external?
state the assumptions of your experiment
suggest the appropriate statistical methodology
30. Types of experimental design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments31
Some basic designs commonly used in field experiments;
Single level experimental units designs
Completely randomized designs
Randomized complete block designs
Latin squares designs
Multiple level experimental units designs
Split-plot Designs
On-farm experiments
Inter-cropping
Repeated measures experiments
31. Single level experimental units designs
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments32
Treatments applied to the plots and measurements taken on the
plots
32. Completely Randomized Design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments33
Levels of treatment are randomly assigned to the experimental
units (no allocation restrictions)
Expected effects are from between and within treatment
differences only
Within variation due to experimental units behaving differently
under the same treatment
Experimental units assumed to be homogeneous or similar in their
reaction to same treatment stimulus
Basic CRD has one treatment with L levels and n replicates
33. CRD Example
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments34
Suppose that a study involves three varieties of wheat and there
are 27 plots available
In equal replication, the three wheat varieties will be randomly
allocated to the plots, 9 for each. 𝑁 = 𝑛𝐿 (balanced design)
In unequal allocation then we may have 11 plots variety 1, 7 plots
variety 2 and 9 plots variety3. 𝑁 = 𝑛𝑖
𝐿
𝑖=1 (unbalanced
design)
34. Prospects and problems of CRD
advantages disadvantages
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments35
Easy to set up and analyze
Provide maximum number of
degrees of freedom for
estimation of error variation
Missing values cause no
difficulty
Suitable only for
homogeneous experimental
material
Suitable only for small
numbers of treatments
35. CRD Model
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments36
Model
-Yield=overall mean+ treatment+ exper. Error i.e., 𝑦𝑖𝑗 = 𝜇 + 𝜏𝑖 + 𝜀𝑖𝑗 where 𝑖 = 1,2, … , 𝐿 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑗 = 1,2, … , 𝑛𝑖
Assumptions
additive effects
Independent homogeneous independent error terms
Constant variance of error terms

Experimental error variance
Test of treatment effects
44. CRD hypothesis for cell means model
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments45
𝐻 𝑜: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2 = 𝜇3 = ⋯ = 𝜇𝑖
Treatment means are the same
𝐻 𝑜: 𝜇1 ≠ 𝜇2 ≠ 𝜇3 ≠ ⋯ ≠ 𝜇𝑖
Treatment means are not the same
S𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 = 5%
Test statistic is the ratio of two variances 𝐹𝑐 =
𝑀𝑆𝑇𝑅
𝑀𝑆𝐸
≈ 𝐹(𝑓1, 𝑓2)
Decision if 𝐹𝑐 > 𝐹(𝑓1, 𝑓2) reject 𝐻 𝑜 at
α% 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙
𝐹𝑐 < 𝐹(𝑓1, 𝑓2) do not reject 𝐻 𝑜
Conclusion: There is statistical evidence that treatment means
are not equal
45. CRD hypothesis for cell means model
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments46
𝐹𝐶 = 2.199, 𝐹4,10 = 3.48
Since 𝐹𝐶 < 𝐹4,10, we do not reject 𝐻 𝑜 that treatment
means are the same at 5% level of significance.
Conclusion.There is no statistical evidence that the
treatment means are different.
49. Completely Randomized Block Design
(CRBD)
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments50
The RCBD is the standard design for agricultural experiments
Goal is to improve the experiment by reducing the amount of
variability affecting the treatments
Field is divided into units to account for any variation in the field
Treatments are assigned at random within blocks of adjacent
plots, each treatment once per block
Number of blocks is the number of replications
Very important in improving experiments as it allows some
control of uncontrolled variation
50. CRBD (1)
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments51
Any treatment can be adjacent to any other treatment, but not to
the same treatment within the block
Used to control variation in an experiment by accounting for
spatial effects.
51. CRBD (2)
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments52
“complete” each block contains all the treatments
Variability arising from a nuisance factor can affect the results
Has an effect on response but not of interest
Unknown and uncontrolled
Randomization can help to eliminate
Known but uncontrollable-analysis of covariance
Known and controllable-blocking systematically eliminate its
effect
52. CRBD Example
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments53
Experiment was planned for execution in three batches to
accommodate goats that kidded at different times
Each batch on its own can be considered as a completely
randomized design
Together they form a randomized block design with batch taking
the role of block
53. CRBD Model
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments54
Model
Yield=mean+treatment+block+error, i.e.,
𝑦𝑖𝑗 = 𝜇 + 𝜏𝑖 + 𝛽𝑗 + 𝜀𝑖𝑗 , 𝑖 = 1,2, … , 𝐿, 𝐽 = 1, 2, … , 𝑏
Assumption
Additive effects
Independent error terms
Constant variance of error terms
Normal distribution of error terms
No block-treatment interactions
Analysis to obtain
Treatment effects
Experimental error variance
Tests of treatment and block effects
58. Prospects and problems of RBD
Advantages disadvantages
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments59
Control local variability
Accommodate any number of
replications
Different experimental
techniques can be used in
different blocks
Simple analysis
Not feasible for large number
of treatments as block size is
increased thus reducing plot
homogeneity
Invalid results if assumed
block homogeneity is violated
59. Statistical assumptions
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments60
Variance of the error term is constant, regardless of factor level
i.e.,
𝜎2
𝑌𝑖𝑗 = 𝜎2
𝜀𝑖𝑗 = 𝜎2
Error terms are normally distributed, this means that,
observations and error terms are linearly related
Error terms are independent i.e., error term of an outcome of
any trial has no effect on the error of any other trial for the same
factor level
ANOVA model is 𝑌𝑖𝑗 ≈ 𝑁(𝜇𝑖, 𝜎2
)
60. RBD example
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments61
An experiment was designed to study the performance of four
different detergents for cleaning clothes.The following
“cleanliness” readings (higher=cleaner) were obtained using a
special device for three different types of common stains. Is there
a significant difference among the detergents?
61. Why blocking?
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments62
Homogeneous experimental units
Experimental error as small as possible
Improves the accuracy of the comparisons among treatments
62. Latin Square Design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments63
Randomized block design use only one blocking variable
It is not appropriate where there are more than two blocking
variables need to be controlled
When there are two blocking variables and treatments the design
that can handle such a case is the LATIN SQUARE DESIGN
In Latin square design each treatment occurs once, and only
once, in each row and column
63. Building Latin Square Design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments64
For 𝑝 treatments, there are 𝑝2
observations
Observations are placed in 𝑝 rows and 𝑝 columns which form
𝑝* 𝑝 grid, in such a way that each treatment occurs once, and
only once, in each row and column.
For 4 treatments 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶, 𝐷 and two factors to control. Latin
square design is
68. Example -LSD
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments69
Consider an experiment to investigate the effect of four different
diets on milk production of cows.There are four cows in the
study. During each lactation period the cows receive a different
diet.Assume that there is a washout period between diets so that
previous diet does not affect future results. Lactation period and
cows are used as blocking variables
69. Factorial Design
01/11/2013Design andAnalysis of Experiments70
Two or more factors can be studied simultaneously
Every combination of the factors is studied in every trial
Given two factors 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏, each
replicate contain all the 𝑎 ∗ 𝑏 treatment combinations
The effect of factor 𝐴 is the change in response due to a change
in the level of 𝐴
