Let y denote the jth observation corresponding to the ith level of factor A and Yij the corresponding random variate.

Let y denote the jth observation corresponding to the
ith level of factor A and Yij the corresponding random
variate.
Define
the linear model for the sample data obtained from the experiment by the equation
Where µ represents the general
mean effect which is fixed and which represents the general condition of the
experimental units, ai denotes the fixed effect due to ith level of the factor A (i=1,2,…,k) and hence the variation due to ai (i=1,2,…,k) is said to be
control. The last component of the model eij is the random variable. It is
called the error component and it makes the Yij a random variate. The variation
in eij is due to all the uncontrolled factors and eij is independently, identically
and normally distributed with mean zero and constant variance σ2 . For
the realization of the random variate Yij,
consider yij defined byThe expected value of the general observation yij in
the experimental units is given by
With yij=µi+eij ,
where eij is the random
error effect due to uncontrolled factors (i.e., due to chance only).
Here we may expect µi=µ
for all i=1,2,....,k , if there is no variation due to control factors. If it is not the case, we have
On substitution for µi in
the above equation, the linear model reduces to
Using (1). The
normal equations can be obtained by partially differentiating E with respect to µ and ai for all
i = 1,
2,..., k and equating the results to zero. We obtain
Where N = nk. We see that the number of variables
(k+1) is more than the number of independent equations (k). So, by the theorem
on a system of linear equations, it follows that unique solution for this
system is not possible.
After carrying out some calculations and using the
normal equations (2) and (3) we obtainThe first term in the RHS of equation (6) is called
the corrected total
sum of squares while is called the uncorrected
total sum of squares.
for measuring the variation due to treatment (controlled
factor), we consider the null hypothesis that all the treatment effects are
equal.
Proceeding as before, we get the residual sum of
squares for this hypothetical model as
Actually, E1 contains the variation due to
both treatment and error. Therefore a measure of variation due to treatment can
be obtained by “
E1 − E ”. Using (6) and (7), we get
The expression in (8) is usually called the corrected treatment sum of squares while the term is called uncorrected treatment sum of
squares. Here it may be noted that is a correction factor (also called a correction term). Since E is based on N-K
free observations, it has N - K degrees of freedom (df). Similarly, since E1 is
based on N -1 free observation, E1
has N -1 degrees of freedom. So E1 − E has K -1 degrees of freedom.
When actually the null hypothesis is true, if we
reject it on the basis of the estimated value in our statistical analysis, we
will be committing Type – I Error.
The probability for committing this error is referred to as the denoted by α. The
testing of the null hypothesis Ho
may be carried out by F test. For given α,
we have
i.e., It follows F distribution with degrees of
freedom K-1 and N-K.
