RINGKASAN
Di dalam kertas ini kami akan memberi gambaran geometri bagi Rekabentuk Sukatan Berulanguntuk bilangan subjek yang tak sama serawatan yang mempunyai kehilangan cerapan. Untuk pembentukangeometri, kami menghadkan rekabentuk ini kepada tiga tahap bagi faktor A dan empat tahap bagi faktorB, Tujuan kertas ini ialah untuk membentuk ujian statistik bagi hipotesis yang dikehendaki iaitu tiadakesan utama A, tiada kesan utama B, dan tiada tindakan bersaling AB.
SUMMARY
In this paper, we will provide a geometric view of Repeated Measures Design for unequal numberof subjects per treatment that has missing observations. For our geometric development we restrict ourdesign to three levels of factor A and four levels of factor B. The purpose of this paper is to develop a teststatistics for hypotheses of interest i.e. no main effect A, no main effect B, and no AB interaction.
1. INTRODUCTION
The data for a two-factor Repeated MeasuresDesign is collected and tabulated in a datatable as shown in Figure 1. Let Y... be themeasurement made on subject i (l<3^n!) at levelj (l£j<a) of factor A and level k (l^k<b) offactor B. For illustrative purposes, we let a=3,b=4, nx=3, n2=2, n3=4.

With similar reasoning, m 'Y is N (m.'E(Y), a*)

The noncentrality parameter is due to the non-zero mean in the Normal random variable and

W is distributed as a noncentral F with dfx anddf£ as its degree of freedom and X as itsnoncentrality parameter. When H x is true, X• 0 and thus W is distributed as central F. In thiscase we can find a critical value W such that
Pr( reject Hxl H x true ) = a and
Pr( reject Hxl H x true ) > a .
Computation for sum of square:
Let us define some matrices as follows:
S " [ *1V s21,..., s33 , s43 ]
AB - [ (ab> l l t (ab)13,... ( (ab)22, (ab)23 ] ,
B = [ b r b 2 , b3 ],
E = I ei» C2» •"' e i2 ^J
D - [ SllABllB ] His symbol for concatenation.
The ] I operator produces a new matrix byhorizontally joining two matrices say A and Bwhich must have the same number of rows.
