3^3 Factorial Experiment

Lecture - 33 

A 3 ^3 factorial experiment in which three factors (say, A, B, C), each at three levels are analyzed. The three levels (usually) referred to as low, intermediate and high levels. These levels are numerically expressed as 0, 1, and 2. In 3^3 factorial experiment there are  total treatment combination have 26 degrees of freedom. There are 3 main effects each have 2 degree of freedom, 3 two factor interactions each have 4 degree of freedom and one three factor interaction with 8 degrees of freedom.  

That’s in  factorial experiment:

A treatment combination is denoted by X1, X2, X3, X i = 0, 1, 2 being level of the ith factor in a particular combination and takes the values 0, 1, 2. In 3^3  treatment combinations are 000, 001, 002, …, 222. The effects are represented by;

The total degree of freedom (3^3 - 1) treatment combination is partitioned into (3^3-1) / (3-1) = 13   effects each consist of (3 – 1) independent contrasts, each with 1 degree of freedom. 

The 13 effects are:


Each main effects having 2 degrees of freedom can be further partitioned AL, AQ, BL, BQ, CL. CQ into  each have 1 degree of freedom.

In 3^3 factorial experiment treatment combination may be displayed as follows:




Generally;



Statistical Model for  Factorial Experiment

The 3^3 factorial experiment is represented by the following linear statistical model:

Yijkl =μ + αj β j  + (αβ) jk + γl + (αγ)jl + (βγ)kl + (αβγ)jkl+ ϵijkl

i= 1, 2, ..., r

j , k, l, 0, 1, 2.

Where:

αj : effect of factor A at ith level.

β j : effect of factor B at jth level.

γl : effect of factor C at lth level.

(αβ) jk : interaction effect of factor A at jth level and factor B at kth level called first order interaction.

in the same manner;

 (αβγ)jkl : interaction effect of factor A at jth level,  factor B at kth level and factor C at lth level called fsecond order interaction.

Analysis of 3 ^3 Factorial Experiment

Analysis of    Factorial Experiment

Let Yijkl is the yield of 3 factors each at three levels and each is replicated “r” times.




ANOVA Table:


Test the highest order (second order) interaction first.

If the highest order of interaction is non-significant, then consider the lower order of interaction.

If no interaction is significant, then test.

 

We cannot consider  (αβγ)jkl in the model because there is no degree of freedom for error. In these cases, it is assumed that, there is no 3 factors interaction. Then the degree of freedom is attributed to error degree of freedom and begins testing with two way interactions. MSE contain random error and 3 factors interaction.
