Listing Expected Mean Square Components

Abstract

SUMMARY Methods for listing the components of the expected mean squares are presented for two classes of factorial experiments. The procedures are based upon the combinatorial technique aind a modification of the telescopic technique of completely nested classifications. The methods give the experimenter the freedom of finding the expected mean squares in ainy order and/or for only certain sources of variation. The coefficients of the components occurring in the expected mean squares are not discussed herein since general rules are available for this purpose.
