•Fixed, random, mixed-model ANOVAs
• Factorial vs. nested designs
• Formal design notation
• Split-plot designs
ANOVA lecture
Goals
1. Describe your ANOVA design to a statistician (who can then help you analyse it).
2. Recognize three common types of ANOVA designs:
• Factorial: fixed, randomized block• Nested• Split-plot
3. For your reference: formulas for F tests for each
Factor – a variable of interest e.g. temperature
Level – a particular value / state of a factore.g. hot, cold
In this example, temperature is a factor with two levels.
Fixed factor
Either
(1) The investigator chooses the levels of the factor for some purpose.
Eg. Ambient CO2 vs. double CO2
OR
(2) The levels used represent all possible levels.
Eg. Biological sex: Male, female
Random factor
The levels of the factor are chosen randomly from a universe of possible levels.
Eg. We want to look at whether butterfly collectors differ in their diversity estimates for 4 plots. We select 5 collectors “randomly” from a village.
Eg. We use three breeding lines of fruit flies as blocks in a genetics experiment. Blocks are typically random effects!
Formal notation
Af6 is a fixed factor called A with 6 levels
Br5 is a random factor called B with 5 levels
Group exercise (groups of 3)

Fixed-effects ANOVA (Model I)
•All factors are fixed
Random-effects ANOVA (Model II)
•All factors are random
Mixed-model ANOVA (Model III)
•Contains both fixed and random effects, e.g. randomized block!

Factorial design:
All levels of one factor crossed by all levels of another factor, i.e. all possible combinations are represented.
If you can fill in a table with unique replicates, it’s factorial!

Nested design
In this example, strain type is “nested within” fertilizer.
Fertilizer is often called “group”, strain “subgroup”
The nested factor is always random

Nested ANOVA: “A” Subgroups nested within “B” Groups, with n replicates
In our example, A=2, B=3 and n=2

Formal notation cont.
Af6 x Br
5 tells us that this is a factorial design with factor A “crossed” with factor B
Af6 (Br
5) tells us that this is a nested design
with factor A “nested within” with factor B. In
other words, A is subgroup, B is group.
