Example 1: Two-way Analysis of Variance

A two-way analysis of variance is performed with balanced data discussed by Snedecor and Cochran (1967, Table 12.5.1, p. 347). The responses are the weight gains (in grams) of rats that were fed diets varying in the source (A) and level (B) of protein. The model is

y_{ijk} = \mu + \alpha _i + \beta _j + \gamma_{ij} + \varepsilon_{ijk} \,\,\,\,\, i = 1,\;2;\;j = 1,\;2,\;3;\;k = 1,\;2,\;...\,,\;10

where

\sum\limits_{i = 1}^2 {\alpha _i } = 0;\sum\limits_{j = 1}^3 {\beta _j } = 0;\sum\limits_{i = 1}^2 {\gamma _{ij} } = 0 \,\,\,\, {\rm{for}}\;j = 1,\;2,\;3;\;

and

\sum\limits_{j = 1}^3 {\gamma _{ij} } = 0 \,\,\,\, {\rm{for}}\;j = 1,\;2

The first responses in each cell in the two-way layout are given in the following table:

Output

P-value = 0.002299
