size.anova {OPDOE}

Design of Experiments for ANOVA

Description

This function provides access to several functions returning the optimal number of levels and / or observations in different types of One-Way, Two-Way and Three-Way ANOVA.

Usage

size.anova(model, hypothesis = "", assumption = "",
    a = NULL, b = NULL, c = NULL, n = NULL, alpha, beta, delta, cases)

Arguments

model

A character string describing the model, allowed characters are (>x) and the letters abcABC, capital letters stand for random factors, lower case letters for fixed factors, x means cross classification, > nested classification, brackets () are used to specify mixed model, the term in brackets has to come first. Spaces are allowed.

Examples: One-Way fixed: a, Two-Way: axB, a>b, Three-Way: axbxc, axBxC, a>b>c, (axb)>C, ...

hypothesis

Character string describiung Null hypothesis, can be omitted in most cases if it is clear that a test for no effects of factor A is performed, "a".

Other possibilities: "axb", "a>b", "c" and some more.

assumption

Character string. A few functions need an assumption on sigma, like "sigma_AB=0,b=c", see the referenced book until this page is updated.

a

Number of levels of fixed factor A

b

Number of levels of fixed factor B

c

Number of levels of fixed factor C

n

Number of Observations

alpha

Risk of 1st kind

beta

Risk of 2nd kind

delta

The minimum difference to be detected

cases

Specifies whether the "maximin" or "maximin" sizes are to be determined.

Details

see chapter 3 in the referenced book

Value

named integer giving the desired size(s)

Note

Depending on the selected model and hypothesis omit one or two of the sizes a, b, c, n. The function then tries to get its optimal value.
