Statnote 12: the split-plot analysis of variance

Anthony Hilton, Richard A. Armstrong

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication or newspaperArticle

Abstract

In some experimental situations, the factors may not be equivalent to each other and replicates cannot be assigned at random to all treatment combinations. A common case, called a ‘split-plot design’, arises when one factor can be considered to be a major factor and the other a minor factor. Investigators need to be able to distinguish a split-plot design from a fully randomized design as it is a common mistake for researchers to analyse a split-plot design as if it were a fully randomised factorial experiment.
