Repeated Measures
Example:
Different calves fed different diet supplements to
improve growth, starting at 9 weeks old.
Initial weight recorded, Y0
blocks formed based on initial weight,
weights recorded at
4 weeks Y1
8 weeks Y2
12 weeks Y3
16 weeks Y4

Split plots analysis?
• Calves are whole units
– treatment factor = Supplement Type
• Time periods are sub units
– treatment factor = Supplement Yes / No
• Problems:
− correlation structure
– varying standard deviation
• Solutions:
– DF adjustments
– Multivariate analysis

Crossover designs
• Repeated measures designs compares different
diets on different calves,
• reduce variation by comparing diets on same
calves,
• e.g. diet A for weeks 1 to 4
diet B for weeks 5 to 8
diet C for weeks 9 to 12
diet D for weeks 13 to 16
• requires attention to order of diets

Crossover design
• Every diet occurs
– once for each calf,
– once in each time
period
– Latin square
• Problems:
? correlation structure
? carry over effect
? experimental set up

Complex blocking
• 2 blocking factors
– calves and time periods
– Latin square
– Latin rectangle
• Incomplete blocks
– more treatments than plots in a block
– balanced incomplete blocks

Missing / Unbalanced Data
• Balanced data allows unambiguous interpretation
of effect estimates
• Unbalanced data does not
• e.g. multiple regression:
Y = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2 + e
• Solution: regression like calculation, interpret
with care
• Split plots analysis:
– Mixed Models
– Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Analysis of Covariance
Objective: take account of variation in uncontrolled
environmental variables.
Solution: measure the environmental variables at
each design point and incorporate in the
analysis through regression methods
(Analysis of Covariance)
Effects: reduces "error" variation, makes factor
effects more significant
adjusts factor effect estimates to take
account of extra variation source.

Covariance vs Blocking
Chance causes and assignable causes of variation
(W. Shewhart, 1931)
Chance causes of variation are the
many individually negligible and unpredictable
but
collectively influential
factors that affect a process or system.
Assignable causes of variation are the
few individually influential and predictable effect
factors that affect a process or system.

5 Clinical trials
• Simple treatment structure
• Elaborate covariate structure
– blocking / matching
– covariate analysis
• Randomised allocation of treatments to subjects
– randomised controlled trial = "Gold Standard"
• Placebo effect?

Ethical issues
• withholding medical treatment?
• blinding,
• double blinding,
• inadequate budget
– puts patients at risk
for non-informative results

Use 2-level factors to locate optimum;
use multi-level factors to explore the response
surface in more detail.
Analysis may involve use of regression methods
and transformation of variables.
NB: Avoid the rush into multi-level factors;

Multiplicative models
Instead of simple linear regression:
Y = a + bX + e
suppose the model is multiplicative:
Y = gXw d
Log transform:
log(Y) = log(g) + w log(X) + log(d)
simple linear regression!

Generalised linear model etc.
Linear model: Y = lm(X) + e
Generalised linear model: f (Y) = lm(X) + g(e)
Generalised additive model: f (Y) = f1(X1) + f2(X2) + …
+ g(e)

Strategy for Experimenting
Shewhart's PDCA Cycle
• Plan: Plan a change to the process, predict its effect, plan to measure the effect
• Do: Implement the change as an experiment and measure the results
• Check: Analyse the results to learn what effect the change had, if any
• Act: If successful, make the change permanent, proceed to plan the next improvement
or
if not, proceed to plan an alternative change

Strategy
When you see the credits roll at the end of a
successful movie you realize there are many more
things that must be attended to in addition to
choosing a good script.
Similarly in running a successful experiment there
are many more things that must be attended to in
addition to choosing a good experimental design.
