• Randomized Block Design

  It’s purpose is to control some of the extraneous sources of variation by removing such variation from the MSE term. 
• Randomized Block Design

  This design tends to provide a better estimate of the true error variance and leads to a more powerful hypothesis test in terms of the ability to detect difference among treatment means. 
• ANOVA Procedure

  SST=SSTR+SSBL+SSE
• SST


  Sum of squares total
• SSTR


  Sum of squares due to blocks
• SSE 


  Sum of squares due to error
• FACTORIAL EXPERIMENT

  An experimental design that allows simultaneous conclusion about 2 or more factors.
