A FORTRAN program is presented to analyze the results of experimental designs. A Euclidean distance permutation procedure is used to evaluate residuals obtained from least sum of absolute deviations regression. Applications include completely randomized and randomized block configurations including one-way, factorial, split plot, and Latin square designs, with or without covariates.

A new procedure to analyze the results of experimental designs is introduced. A permutation procedure based on Euclidean distance is used to evaluate residuals obtained from least sum of absolute deviations regression. Applications include completely randomized and randomized block configurations including one-way, factorial, split-plot, and Latin square designs, with or without covariates. Parametric assumptions of homogeneity of variance, compound symmetry, and normality are eliminated with this procedure.

A multivariate extension of a univariate procedure for the analysis of experimental designs is presented. A Euclidean-distance permutation procedure is used to evaluate multivariate residuals obtained from a regression algorithm, also based on Euclidean distances. Applications include various completely randomized and randomized block experimental designs such as one-way, Latin square, factorial, nested, and split-plot designs, with and without covariates. Unlike parametric procedures, the only required assumption is the randomization of subjects to treatments.

Abstract This chapter focuses on one of the most flexible and useful experimental designs for agricultural research, the split-plot and its variations. An experiment with strawberry production was used as an example.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show how to properly use the method of replacement to construct mixed two- and four-level minimum setup split-plot type designs to accommodate the presence of hard-to-assemble parts. Design/methodology/approach Split-plot type designs are economical approaches in industrial experimentation. These types of designs are particularly useful for situations involving interchangeable parts with different degrees of assembly difficulties. Methodologies for designing and analyzing such experiments have advanced lately, especially for two-level designs. Practical needs may require the inclusion of factors with more than two levels. Here, the authors consider an experiment to improve the performance of a Baja car including two- and four-level factors. Findings The authors find that the direct use of the existing minimum setup maximum aberration (MSMA) catalogs for two-level split-plot type designs may lead to inappropriate designs (e.g. low resolution). The existing method of replacement for searching exclusive sets of the form (α, β, αβ) available in the literature is suitable for completely randomized designs, but it may not provide efficient plans for designs with restricted randomization. Originality/value The authors provide a general framework for the practitioners and have extended the algorithm to find out the number of generators and the number of base factor at each stratum, which guide the selection of mixed two-level and four-level MSMA split-plot type designs.

Records for milk, fat, solids-not-fat and fat percentage over forty-eight complete lactations were used as uniformity data to determine the relative efficiencies of a variety of experimental designs used in dairy husbandry experiments.In general, it was found that:1. Experiments conducted during the earlier part of the lactation are more efficient than those conducted during the later part.2. Three-weekly periods are generally more efficient than 5-weekly periods.3. If 3-weekly periods are used, then extending the time of the experiment over four such periods instead of three reduces the error. The converse is the case with 5-weekly periods since the experiment is carried over into the highly variable later part of the lactation.4. Grouping the animals according to the yields recorded during the first 40 days of lactation does not appear to reduce the error.An analysis of covariance using the pro-experimental records of the performance of the animals has been carried out on ordinary group trials and it is hoped to publish the results at a later date, but investigations on the data have shown that both reversal and Latin square designs are more efficient than ordinary group trials even when such an analysis is performed.

Key words: Design, experiment, research, scienceAbstract. The basics of the experimental designs are noted. Different features of common types of experimental designs such as the completely randomized design, the randomized block design, the Latin Square design, the split plot design and the factorial design are described. Each experimental design is illustrated by an example using real data. The application of experimental designs to the scientific research is discussed.Palabras claves: Ciencia, diseño, experimento, investigaciónResumen. Se describen los fundamentos de los diseños experimentales. Se explican las distintas características de los diseños experimentales del uso común, tales como el diseño completamente aleatorio, e diseño de bloques al azar, el diseño de cuadro latino, el diseño de parcelas divididas y el de factorial. Para cada diseño se presenta un ejemplo con los datos reales del campo. Se discute la aplicación de estos diseños en relación con la investigación científica.

Latin square and near-Latin square designs are valuable row-and-column designs for crop research but the practical size range of such designs is severely limited. Semi-Latin square designs extend this range but not all semi-Latin squares are suitable for experimental designs. Trojan square designs are a special class of optimal semi-Latin squares that generalizes the class of Latin square designs. The construction of Trojan squares both for unstructured and for factorial treatment sets is discussed and the utility of Trojan square designs for practical crop research is demonstrated. The corpus of available designs is further extended by a discussion of incomplete Trojan square designs obtained by omitting one main row or one main column from a complete Trojan square design. Some advantages of Trojan square and incomplete Trojan square designs for crop research are discussed and some suggestions for further design research are made.
