Example 11.12 In an experiment to investigate the compressive strength properties of cement–soil

  mixtures, two different aging periods were used in combination with two different temperatures and two different soils. Two replications were made for each combi- nation of levels of the three factors, resulting in the following data:

  The computed cell totals are x 111 . 5 884, x 211 . 5 1349, x 121 . 5 1037, x 221 . 5 1501,

  x 112 . 5 819, x 212 . 5 1475, x 122 . 5 1123 , and x 222 . 5 1547 , so x ” 5 9735 . Then

  aˆ 1 5 (884 2 1349 1 1037 2 1501 1 819 2 1475 1 1123 2 1547)16

  The other parameter estimates can be computed in the same manner.

  Analysis of a 2 3 Experiment Sums of squares for the various effects are easily

  obtained from the parameter estimates. For example,

  SSA 5 g g g g aˆ 2 i 2 5 4n g aˆ i 5 4n[aˆ 2 1 (2a 2 ] 5 8naˆ 1 2 ˆ 1 ) 1

  i51 j51

  5 8n(gˆ AB 11 ) 2

  Since each estimate is a contrast in the cell totals multiplied by 1(8n) , each sum

  of squares has the form (contrast) 2 (8n). Thus to compute the various sums of squares, we need to know the coefficients ( 11 or 21 ) of the appropriate contrasts. The signs

  (1 or 2) on each x ijk in each effect contrast are most conveniently displayed in a

  table. We will use the notation (1) for the experimental condition i 5 1, j 5 1, k 5 1, a for i 5 2, j 5 1, k 5 1 , ab for i 5 2, j 5 2, k 5 1 , and so on. If level 1 is thought of as “low” and level 2 as “high,” any letter that appears denotes a high level of the associated factor. Each column in Table 11.10 gives the signs for a particular

  effect contrast in the x ijk ’s associated with the different experimental conditions.

  Table 11.10 Signs for Computing Effect Contrasts Experimental Cell

  Factorial Effect

  In each of the first three columns, the sign is 1 if the corresponding factor is at the high level and 2 if it is at the low level. Every sign in the AB column is then

  the “product” of the signs in the A and B columns, with (1)(1) 5 (2)(2) 5 1 and (1)(2) 5 (2)(1) 5 2 , and similarly for the AC and BC columns. Finally, the signs in the ABC column are the products of AB with C (or B with AC or A with BC). Thus, for example,

  AC contrast 5 1 x 111 2x 211 1x 121 2x 221 2x 112 1x 212 2x 122 1x 222

  Once the seven effect contrasts are computed, (effect contrast) 2

  SS(effect) 5 8n

  Software for doing the calculations required to analyze data from factorial exper- iments is widely available (e.g., Minitab). Alternatively, here is an efficient method for hand computation due to Yates. Write in a column the eight cell totals in the standard order, as given in the table of signs, and establish three additional columns. In each of these three columns, the first four entries are the sums of entries 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8 of the previous columns. The last four entries are the differences between entries 2 and 1, 4 and 3, 6 and 5, and 8 and 7 of the previous column. The last

  column then contains x and the seven effect contrasts in standard order. Squaring

  each contrast and dividing by 8n then gives the seven sums of squares.
