Topic Overview
• Randomized Complete Block Designs
(RCBD)
• ANOVA with unequal sample sizes
![Page 3: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

RCBD
• Randomized complete block designs are
useful whenever the experimental units are
non-homogeneous.
• Grouping EU’s into “blocks” of
homogeneous units helps reduce the SSE
and increase the likelihood that we will be
able to see differences among treatments.
• A “block” consists of a complete replication
of the set of treatments. Blocks and
treatments are assumed not to interact.
![Page 4: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

RCBD Model
• Assuming no replication, same as two-way ANOVA
with one observation per cell. No interaction between
block and treatment.
ijk i j ijkY µ ρ τ ε= + + +
where ( )20,iid
ijkNε σ∼ and 0
i iρ τ= =∑ ∑
• We refer to iρ as the block effects and
jτ as the
treatment effects.
• We are really only interested in further analysis on
the treatment effects.

RCBD Example
• Want to study the effects of three different
sealers on protecting concrete patios from
the weather.
• Ten unsealed patios are available spread
across Indianapolis.
• Separate each patio into three portions, and
apply the treatments (randomly) in such a
way that each patio receives each treatment
for 1/3 of the surface.
![Page 6: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
29-6
RCBD Example (2)
• Patio (location) is a blocking factor. Probably
the weather will be different in each location;
some patios may be better sheltered (trees,
etc.)
• If patio location is important, then failing to
block on patio location would probably mean
that the MSE will be overestimated.
• Blocking requires DF (9 in this case), but
usually if blocking variable is unimportant,
the MSE with/without blocking will be about
the same.

Big Picture
• Failing to block when you should block can
cost you the ability to see treatment effects
• Blocking when there is no need usually often
doesn’t cost much at all (though it can if the
SSBlock is small enough relative to df).
• Blocking effectively requires foresight. An
experimenter must guess what sources of
variation will exist in order to block on them.
![Page 10: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
29-10
Other Advantages of RCBD
• Reasonably simple analysis to perform
• Effective grouping makes results much more
precise.
• Can drop an entire block or treatment if
necessary, without complicating the
analysis.
• Can deliberately introduce extra variability
into the EU’s to widen the range of validity
of the results without sacrificing precision.
![Page 11: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
29-11
Some Disadvantages of RCBD
• Missing observations are a complex problem
(since generally each treatment is
represented exactly once in each block)
• Loss of error degrees of freedom
• Additional assumptions are required for the
model (additivity, constant variance across
blocks)
![Page 12: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
29-12
Multiple Blocking Variables
• Often is the case that you the EU’s have
multiple characteristics on which you
could block.
• Example: Consider the effect of three
treatments for asthma. Might block on
both AGE and GENDER.
• Each treatment would be represented once at
each AGE*GENDER combination.
![Page 13: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
29-13
More on Blocking...
• Quite a bit more information in Chapter 21
o More than one replicate per block
o Factorial treatments
• Would discuss this and related topics in
STAT 514.
![Page 14: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
29-14
Unequal Sample Sizes
• Encountered for a variety of reasons
including:
� Convenience – usually if we have an
observational study, we have very little
control over the cell sizes.
� Cost Effectiveness – sometimes the cost of
samples is different, and we may use larger
sample sizes when the cost is less
� In experimental studies, you may start with
a balanced design, but lose that balance if
problems occur.
![Page 15: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
29-15
Unequal Sample Sizes (2)
• What changes?
� Loss of balance brings “intercorrelation”
among the predictors (i.e., variables are no
longer orthogonal)
� Type I and III SS will be different; typically
Type III SS should be used for testing
� LSMeans should be used for testing
� Standard errors for cell means and for
multiple comparisons will be different
� Confidence intervals will have different
widths

Example
• Examine the effects of gender (A) and bone
development (B) on the rate of growth
induced by a synthetic growth hormone.
• Three categories of Bone Development
Depression (Severe, Moderate, and Mild)
• We categorize people on this basis after they
are in the study (it is an observational
factor); we wouldn’t want to throw away
data just to keep a balanced design.

29-19
Interpretation
• Same as any interaction plot
• Effect seems to be greater if disease is more
severe.
• Effect seems greater for women than men.
• Possibly an interaction. The effect of bone
development is enhanced (greater) for
women as compared to men.
• We aren’t saying anything about
significance here – we’ll do that when we
look at the ANOVA.

29-23
Types I SS
• Sequential Sums of Squares, appropriate for
equal cell sizes.
• SS(A), SS(B|A), SS(A*B|A,B)
• Each observation is weighted equally, with
the result that treatments are weighted in
proportion to their cell size (if unequal,
then not all treatments get the same weight
in the analysis)
![Page 24: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
29-24
Types II SS
• Variable Added Last SS, appropriate for
equal cell sizes.
• SS(A|B,A*B), SS(B|A,A*B), SS(A*B|A,B)
• Each observation is weighted equally
![Page 25: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
29-25
Types III SS
• Variable Added Last SS, appropriate for
unequal cell sizes.
• SS(A|B,A*B), SS(B|A,A*B), SS(A*B|A,B)
• Each cell/treatment is weighted equally,
but observations are weighted differently.
Type III SS adjusts for the fact that cell
sizes are different, unequal weighting of
observations.
![Page 26: Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes - Purdue University29-1 Lecture 29 RCBD & Unequal Cell Sizes STAT 512 Spring 2011 Background Reading KNNL: 21.1-21.6, Chapter 23](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050323/5f7ccc368ccd537b2318e72f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
29-26
Type IV SS
• Variable Added Last SS, necessary if there
are empty cells
• SS(A|B,A*B), SS(B|A,A*B), SS(A*B|A,B)
• Like Type III SS but additionally takes into
account the possibility of empty cells.

General Strategy
• Remember that Type I SS and Type III SS
examine different null hypotheses.
• Type III SS are preferred when sample sizes
are not equal, but can be somewhat
misleading if sample sizes differ greatly.
• Type IV SS are appropriate if there are
empty cells.
• Can obtain Type II/IV SS if necessary by
using /ss1 ss2 ss3 ss4 in MODEL
statement

• The interaction and gender effects are not
significant.
• Now look at comparing different levels of
bone; should not ‘change’ models at this
point, so need to average over gender.

Examining Differences (LSMEANS)
Least Squares Means for effect bone
Pr > |t| for H0: LSMean(i)=LSMean(j)
Dependent Variable: growth

1 0.0072 0.0059
2 0.0072 0.7845
3 0.0059 0.7845
• Mild group is significantly different from
the moderate and severe groups (those
groups are aided more by the hormone)

• Growth rate increased for each group, but
increased by about 1 cm / month more in
the moderate/severe groups than in the
mild group
• Note that the widths of these CI’s are
different due to different sample sizes
(severe is wider, since less observations)
