ALATN
Analyzes a Latin square design.
Required Arguments
NTRT — Number of treatments. (Input)
NTRT must also be the number of rows and the number of columns.
NRESP — Number of repeated responses within each row-column position. (Input)
Y — Vector of length NTRT * NTRT * NRESP containing the responses. (Input)
The first NRESP elements of Y contain the responses for row 1, column 1; the second NRESP elements of Y contain the responses for row 1, column 2. The last NRESP elements of Y contain the responses for row NTRT, column NTRT.

The treatment numbers must be from the set 1, 2, , NTRT. For I = 1, 2, , NTRT**2, element numbers (I 1) * NRESP + 1 through (I 1) * NRESP + NRESP of Y correspond to treatment number ITRT(I).

Description
Routine ALATN performs an analysis for a Latin square design. The model is
yijkm = μ + α i + βj + δk + ɛijkm      i, j, k = 1, 2, , p; m = 1, 2, , n
where the observed value of yijkm constitutes the m-th response on the k-th treatment in row i column j of the Latin square design; μ + αi + βj + δk is the population mean for the response, and the ɛ ijkm’s are identically and independently distributed normal errors with mean zero and variance σ2. This model assumes the row effects (αi), column effects (βj), and treatment effects (δk) are additive. Often in practice, there are interactions between two or more of these factors. For this reason, ALATN computes a test for nonadditivity (lack of fit), in addition to summary statistics for the additive model. This test requires at least two responses in each cell. A test for nonadditivity with one response per cell in a Latin square design is discussed by Snedecor and Cochran (1967, pages 334337).
Routine ALATN requires yijk’s to be entered in single vector Y with the data for each cell occupying contiguous elements. The cells must be in standard order, i.e., (1, 1), (1, 2), , (1, p), (2, 1), (2, 2), , (2, p), , (p, 1), (p, 2), , (p, p). A discussion of formulas and interpretations for the analysis of a Latin square design appears in many elementary statistics texts, e.g., Snedecor and Cochran (1967, pages 312317).
Example
This example performs an analysis for a Latin square design using data discussed by Kirk (1982, Table 7.3-2, pages 312317). The responses are thickness of tread remaining on each of 32 tires after 10,000 miles of driving. The tires are divided equally among four different types, labeled A, B, C, and D. Four cars are used in the study. The experiment is performed twice, sixteen tires are used in each experiment. Each of the sixteen tires occupies one of the four wheel positions on one of the cars. The data are given in the following table:
