rcbd_factorial
Analyzes data from balanced and unbalanced randomized complete-block experiments. Unlike imsls_f_anova_factorial, function rcbd_factorial allows for missing data and one or more locations.
Synopsis
#include <imsls.h>
float *imsls_f_rcbd_factorial (int n_obs, int n_locations, int n_factors, int n_levels[], int model[], float y[], …, 0)
The type double function is imsls_d_rcbd_factorial.
Required Arguments
int n_obs (Input)
Number of missing and non-missing experimental observations.
int n_locations (Input)
Number of locations. n_locations must be one or greater.
int n_factors (Input)
Number of factors in the model.
int n_levels[] (Input)
Array of length n_factors+1. The n_levels[0] through n_levels[n_factors‑1] contain the number of levels for each factor. The last element, n_levels[n_factors], contains the number of blocks at a location. There must be at least two blocks and two levels for each factor, i.e., n_levels[i] ≥ 2 for i =0, 1, …, n_factors.
int model[] (Input)
A n_obs by (n_factors+2) array identifying the location, block and factor levels associated with each observation in y. The first column must contain the location identifier and the second column must contain the block identifier for the observation associated with that row. The remaining columns, columns 3 through n_factors+2, should contain the factor level identifiers in the same order used in n_levels. If n_locations =1, the first column is still required, but its contents are ignored.
float y[] (Input)
An array of length n_obs containing the experimental observations and any missing values. Missing values are indicated by placing a NaN (not a number) in y. The NaN value can be set using either the function imsls_f_machine(6) or imsls_d_machine(6), depending upon whether single or double precision is being used, respectively.
Return Value
A pointer to the memory location of a two dimensional, n_anova by 6 array containing the ANOVA table, where:
and m= n_factors.
Each row in this array contains values for one of the effects in the ANOVA table. The first value in each row, anova_tablei,0 = anova_table[i*6], is the source identifier which identifies the type of effect associated with values in that row. The remaining values in a row contain the ANOVA table values using the following convention:
|
j |
anova_tablei,j = anova_table[i*6+j] |
|
0 |
Source Identifier (values described below) |
|
1 |
Degrees of freedom |
|
2 |
Sum of squares |
|
3 |
Mean squares |
|
4 |
F-statistic |
|
5 |
p-value for this F-statistic |
The values for the mean squares, F-statistic and p-value are set to NaN for the residual and corrected total effects.
|
Note: Note that the p‑value for the F-statistic is returned as 0.0 when the value is so small that all significant digits have been lost. |
The Source Identifiers in the first column of anova_tablei,j are the only negative values in anova_table[]. The absolute value of the source identifier is equal to the order of the effect in that row. Main effects, for example, have a source identifier of –1. Two-way interactions use a source identifier of
–2, –3 and so on.

Note: The Effects Error Term is equal to the Residual effect if n_locations = 1.
† The number of main effects is equal to n_factors+2 if n_locations > 1, and n_factors +1 if n_locations = 1. The first two rows, anova_table[0] through anova_table[10] are used to represent the location and block effects if n_locations > 1. If n_locations =1, then anova_table[0] through anova_table[5]contain the block effects.
‡ The number of interaction effects for the nth-way interactions is equal to
The order of these terms is in ascending order by treatment subscript. The interactions for factor 1 appear first, followed by factor 2, factor 3, and so on.
* The residual term is only produced when there is replication within blocks.

Description
The function imsls_f_rcbd_factorial is capable of analyzing randomized complete block factorial experiments replicated in different locations. Missing observations are estimated using the Yates method. Locations, if used, and blocks are treated as random factors. All treatment factors are regarded as fixed effects in the analysis. If n_locations > 1, then blocks are treated as nested within locations and the number of blocks used at each location must be the same.
If n_locations = 1, then the residual mean square is used as the error mean square in calculating the F-tests for all other effects. That is
when n_locations = 1.
In this case, the residual mean square is calculating by pooling all interactions between treatments and blocks. For example, if treatments are formed from two factors, A and B, then
When n_locations = 1, then 
is also used to calculate the standard errors between means. For example, in a two factor experiment:
where
are the number of observations for each level of the effects A, B and their interaction, respectively.
If n_locations > 1, then the error mean square is used as the denominator of the F-test for effects:
The error mean square in this calculation is obtained by pooling all interactions between each factor and locations. For example n_locations > 1 and n_factors=2 then:
In this case, n_locations > 1, the standard errors for means are calculated using
The F‑test for differences between locations is calculated using the mean squares for blocks within locations:
Example
This example is based upon data from an agricultural trial conducted by DOW Agrosciences. This is a three factor, 3x2x2, experiment replicated in two blocks at one location. For illustration, two observations are set to NaN to simulate missing observations.
