Study Notes
Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
- Each treatment represents a population.
- In CRD, treatments are assigned completely at random to experimental units, so each unit has an equal chance of receiving any treatment.
- Experimental units used are relatively homogeneous to minimize differences among units receiving the same treatment, which is considered experimental error.
Experimental Error
- Refers to the differences among experimental units subjected to the same treatment.
When to Use CRD
- CRD is used when experimental units are relatively homogeneous.
- It is suitable for laboratory or greenhouse experiments where the researcher has more control over the environment.
Advantages of CRD
- Easy to layout.
- Has the simplest statistical analysis among all experimental designs.
- Allows for unequal number of replications without complicating statistical analysis.
Disadvantages of CRD
- Often difficult to obtain sufficiently homogeneous experimental units.
- Limited to a small number of treatments.
- Usually used for laboratory experiments, as it is hard to control environmental factors affecting homogeneity outside the laboratory.
Data Presentation and Notations for CRD
- Data is presented in a table with treatments as rows and observations as columns.
Sources of Variation in CRD
- There are two sources of variation among the observations: treatment variation and experimental error.
- The relative size of these two variations is used to determine if the observed difference among treatments is real or due to chance.
ANOVA for CRD
- The sources of variation are partitioned into treatments and experimental error.
- The degrees of freedom, sum of squares, mean square, F-computed, and P-value are calculated to determine if the treatment difference is real.
Decision Rule
- Reject the null hypothesis if F-computed is greater than the tabular F-value or if the P-value is less than α.
