Synopsis

#include <imsls.h>

float imsls_f_anova_balanced (int n_factors, int n_levels[], float y[], int n_random, int index_random_factor[], int n_model_effects, int n_factors_per_effect[], int index_factor_per_effect[], ..., 0)

The type double function is imsls_d_anova_balanced.

Required Arguments

int  n_factors (Input)
Number of factors (number of subscripts) in the model, including error.

 int  n_levels[]   (Input)
Array of length n_factors containing the number of levels for each of the factors.

float y[]   (Input)
Array of length n_levels[0] * n_levels[1] *. . .* n_levels[n_factors-1] containing the responses.  y[] must not contain NaN (not a number) for any of its elements, i.e., missing values are not allowed.

int  n_random (Input)
For positive n_random, |n_random| is the number of random factors. For negative n_random, |n_random|  is the number of random effects (sources of variation).

 int index_random_factor[]  (Input)
Index array of length |n_random| containing either the factor numbers to be considered random (for n_random positive) or containing the effect numbers to be considered random (for n_random negative).  If n_random = 0, index_random_factor is not referenced.

 int n_model_effects  (Input)
Number of effects (sources of variation) due to the model excluding the overall mean and error.

int n_factors_per_effect[] (Input)
Array of length n_model_effects containing the number of factors associated with each effect in the model.

int index_factor_per_effect[]  (Input)
Index vector of length n_factors_per_efffect[0] + n_factors_per_effect[1] + . . . + n_factors_per_effect[n_model_effects-1]. The first n_factors_per_effect[0] elements give the factor numbers in the first effect. The next n_factors_per_effect[1] elements give the factor numbers in the second effect. The last n_factors_per_effect [n_model_effects-1] elements give the factor numbers in the last effect. Main effects must appear before their interactions. In general, an effect E cannot appear after an effect F if all of the indices for E appear also in F.

Return Value

Storage for array anova_table is provided by the user.
See IMSLS_ANOVA_TABLE.

IMSLS_MODEL, int model,    (Input)
Model Option

 

model

Meaning

0

Searle model.

1

Scheffe model .

 

            For the Scheffe model, effects corresponding to interactions of fixed and random factors have their sum over the subscripts corresponding to fixed factors equal to zero. Also, the variance of a random interaction effect involving some fixed factors has a multiplier for the associated variance component that involves the number of levels in the fixed factors. The Searle model has no summation restrictions on the random interaction effects and has a multiplier of one for each variance component.  The default is model = 0.

IMSLS_CONFIDENCE, float confidence   (Input)
Confidence level for two-sided interval estimates on the variance components, in percent.  confidence  percent confidence intervals are computed, hence, confidence must be in the interval [0.0, 100.0). confidence often will be 90.0, 95.0, or 99.0.
For one-sided intervals with confidence level α, α in the interval [50.0, 100.0), set confidence = 100.0 - 2.0 * 100.0 - α).
Default:   confidence = 95.0.

IMSLS_VARIANCE_COMPONENTSfloat **variance_components, (Output)      Address of a pointer to an array, variance_components. variance_components is an (n_model_effects + 1) by 9 array containing statistics relating to the particular variance components or effects in the model and the error.  Rows of variance_components correspond to the n_model_effects  effects plus error.

7

Percent of variance of variance explained by variance component.

8

Lower endpoint for a confidence interval on the variance component.

9

            Elements 6 through 9 contain NaN (not a number) if the effect is fixed, i.e., if there is no variance component to be estimated. If the variance component estimate is negative, columns 8 and 9 contain NaN. Note that the p-value for the F test is returned as 0.0 when the value is so small that all significant digits have been lost.

Description

Function imsls_f_anova_balanced analyzes a balanced complete experimental design for a fixed, random, or mixed model. The analysis includes an analysis of variance table, and computation of subgroup means and variance component estimates. A choice of two parameterizations of the variance components for the model can be made.

Scheffé (1959, pages 274289) discusses the parameterization for model = 1. For example, consider the following model equation with fixed factor A and random factor B:

yijk = μ + αi + bj + cij + eijk     i = 1, 2, …, a; j = 1, 2, …, b; k = 1, 2, …, n

The fixed effects αi’s are subject to the restriction

the bj’s are random effects identically and independently distributed

cij are interaction effects each distributed

and are subject to the restrictions

and the eijk’s are errors identically and independently distributed N(0, σ2). In general, interactions of fixed and random factors have sums over subscripts corresponding to fixed factors equal to zero. Also in general, the variance of a random interaction effect is the associated variance component times a product of ratios for each fixed factor in the random interaction term. Each ratio depends on the number of levels in the fixed factor. In the earlier example, the random interaction AB has the ratio (a − 1)/a as a multiplier of

and

In a three-way crossed classification model, an ABC interaction effect with A fixed, B random, and C fixed would have variance

Searle (1971, pages 400401) discusses the parameterization for model = 0. This parameterization does not have the summation restrictions on the effects corresponding to interactions of fixed and random factors. Also, the variance of each random interaction term is the associated variance component, i.e., without the multiplier. This parameterization is also used with unbalanced data, which is one reason for its popularity with balanced data also. In the earlier example,

Searle (1971, pages 400404) compares these two parameterizations. Hocking (1973) considers these different parameterizations and concludes they are equivalent because they yield the same variance-covariance structure for the responses. Differences in covariances for individual terms, differences in expected mean square coefficients and differences in F tests are just a consequence of the definition of the individual terms in the model and are not caused by any fundamental differences in the models. For the earlier two-way model, Hocking states that the relations between the two parameterizations of the variance components are

where

are the variance components in the parameterization with model = 0.

The computations for degrees of freedom and sums of squares are the same regardless of the option specified by modelimsls_f_anova_balanced first computes degrees of freedom and sum of squares for a full factorial design. Degrees of freedom for effects in the factorial design that are missing from the specified model are pooled into the model effect containing the fewest subscripts but still containing the factorial effect. If no such model effect exists, the factorial effect is pooled into error. If more than one such effect exists, a terminal error message is issued indicating a misspecified model.

The analysis of variance method is used for estimating the variance components. This method solves a linear system in which the mean squares are set to the expected mean squares. A problem that Hocking (1985, pages 324330) discusses is that this method can yield a negative variance component estimate. Hocking suggests a diagnostic procedure for locating the cause of the negative estimate. It may be necessary to re-examine the assumptions of the model.

The percentage of variation explained by each random effect is computed (output in variance_components element 7) as the variance of the associated random effect divided by the variance of y. The two parameterizations can lead to different values because of the different definitions of the individual terms in the model. For example, the percentage associated with the AB interaction term in the earlier two-way mixed model is computed for model = 1 using the formula

while for the parameterization model  = 0, the percentage is computed using the formula

In each case, the variance components are replaced by their estimates (stored in variance_components element 6).

Confidence intervals on the variance components are computed using the method discussed by Graybill (1976, Theorem 15.3.5, page 624, and Note 4, page 620).

Example

An analysis of a generalized randomized block design is performed using data discussed by Kirk (1982, Table 6.10-1, pages 293297). The model is

yijk = μ + αi + bj + cij + eijk     i = 1, 2, 3, 4; j = 1, 2, 3, 4; k = 1, 2

where yijk is the response for the k-th experimental unit in block j with treatment i; the αi’s are the treatment effects and are subject to the restriction

the bj’s are block effects identically and independently distributed

cij are interaction effects each distributed

and are subject to the restrictions

and the eijk’s are errors, identically and independently distributed N(0, σ2). The interaction effects are assumed to be distributed independently of the errors.
