  1. The Completely Randomized Design (§8.2) • Introduction to the simplest experimental design - the Completely Randomized Design. • Introduce a statistical model for the observations in a completely randomized design.

  2. Completely Randomized Design Two different Names for the Same Design: • Experimental Study - Completely randomized design (CRD) • Sampling Study - One-way classification design Randomization: The t treatments are randomlyallocated to theexperimental units in such a way that n1 units receive treatment 1, n2 receive treatment 2, etc. • Assumptions: • Independent random samples (response from one experimental unit does not affect responses from other experimental units). • Responses follow a normal distribution. • Common true variance, s2, across all groups/treatments. • True mean for population i is mi. • Interest is incomparing means.

  3. AOV Model of Responses/Effects Model: random error ~ N(0,s2) overall mean effect due to population i Requirement for  to be the overall mean: Expected response Estimate All ai = 0 implies all groups have the same mean (m)

  4. Example A manufacturer of concrete bridge supports is interested in determining the effect of varying the sand content on the strength of the supports. Five supports are made for each of five different amounts of sand in the concrete mix and each is tested for compression resistance.

  5. Basic Statistics and AOV Effects Overall Mean MEAN EFFECT Sum of Effects

  6. Decomposing the Data m = overall mean ai = i – m = group i effect ij = yij – m – ai = residual (Note that sum of residuals for each treatment is zero) Sum of squares

  7. SSB SSW 6275.0 -5625.0 =650.0 -486.4 =163.6 -163.6 =0.0 TSS SSB SSW Decomposing Sums of Squares

  8. Is 30% significantly better than 25%? Best Treatment?

  9. Estimation

  10. Reference Group/Cell Model Model: random error ~ N(0,s2) reference group mean effect due to population i This is the model SASâ uses. Mean for the last group (i=t) is mt. Mean for the first group (i=1) is mt + b1 Thus, b1 is the difference between the mean of the reference group (cell) and the target group mean. Any group can be the reference group. All bi = 0 implies all groups have the same mean.

  11. Basic Statistics and Reference Cell Effects Reference Cell Mean MEAN EFFECT Sum of Effects

  12. Reference Cell Decomposition Note: Sums of squares don’t quite add up. Due to fact that sum of bi is not zero. 6275.0 -2916.0 =3369.0 -927.4 =2441.6 -163.6 =2278.0

  13. Decomposing Sums of Squares 6275 = 2916.0 + 927.4 + 163.4 + 2278

  24. Fixed Effects Normally, the “effect” of a particular treatment is assumed to be a constant value (ai) added to the response of all units in the group receiving the treatment. If the treatments are well defined, easily replicable and are expected to produce the same effect on average in each replicate, we have a fixed set of treatments and the AOV model is said to describe a fixed effects model. • Examples: • A scientist develops 3 new fungicides. Her interest is in these fungicides only. • The impact of 4 specific soil types on plant growth are of interest. • Three particular milling machines are being compared. • Four particular lakes are of interest in their weed biomass densities. • Three tests for assessing developmental learning are being compared.

  25. Random Effects If the treatments cannot be assumed to be from a prespecified or known set of treatments, they are assumed to be a random sample from some larger population of potential treatments. In this case, the AOV model is called a random effects model and the ai are called random effects. • Examples: • A scientist is interested in how fungicides work. Ten (10) fungicides are selected (at random) to represent the population of all fungicides in the research (plots as replicates). • Four soil sub groups are selected for examining plant growth (pots as replicates). • Three milling machines selected at random from the production line are compared (runs as replicates). • 16 lakes selected at random are measured for their weed biomass densities (water samples as replicates). • A standard test for development is given to 20 middle school classes selected at random from the over 200 available among all middle schools in the county (student as replicate). In each case, we assume the values for the effects would change if our sample had changed. Inference is directed not to answering “which treatment is different from which other treatment?” but to the issue of “is the variability among treatments significantly greater than the residual variability?”.

  26. Closing Comments on CRD Even though we have introduced several variations on the same basic model for defining “effects”, the final F-test for the hypothesis of overall equal group means is the same one developed as part of the analysis of variance. It turns out that there may be computational advantages to using the one formulation of the model over another, but this has absolutely no effect on the hypothesis test. We will see this in the next Section. For simple one-factor designs, whether the treatment effect is considered random or fixed, the F-test is the same, the interpretation is different.
