STAT 550 Weekend Assignment - for discussion Tues. Feb. 4



Please read the first three pages of this article about Split Plot Experiments.

The data is provided below - the values represent a measure of corrosion resistance.

Furnace Run Temperature ($^{\circ}$C) Coating 1 Coating 2 Coating 3 Coating 4
1 360 67 73 83 89
2 370 65 91 87 86
3 380 155 127 147 212
4 380 108 100 90 153
5 370 140 142 121 150
6 360 33 8 46 54

Create a dataframe with one row per observation with four variables, wholeplot, temp, coating, and resist - make sure the first three variables are factors. The classical split plot analysis of variance table may be produced in R using the aov function,

summary(aov( resist ~ temp*coating + Error(wholeplot)))

The sums of squares in the table produced by the above may be extracted from the following simpler analysis. Attempt to do so and be prepared to explain the logical relationships that justify this derivation.

anova(lm( resist ~ coating + wholeplot))
anova(lm( resist ~ coating * temp))
