Summary. A method for deriving the analysis of variance for an experiment is presented and applied to grazing trials. A special feature of grazing trials, specifically utilised by our method, is that they involve at least 2 randomisations: treatments are randomised to field units (for example paddocks or plots), and field units are randomised to animals. Randomisation results in the confounding (‘mixing up’) of terms and our method includes separate terms in the analysis of variance table for confounded terms so that all sources of variability in the experiment have terms for them included in the table and the confounding between the sources of variability in the experiment is explicitly displayed in the table. This information is used in determining the valid error terms and we will present examples that show how to ascertain these for effects of interest and hence which effects can be tested. In this it fulfils the same role as the contentious process of identifying the experimental unit. It will be demonstrated that the inclusion of separate terms for confounded terms results in improper replication in grazing trials being automatically signalled, and makes its ramifications clear.

Plaid designs are characterised by having one set of treatments applied to rows and another set of treatments applied to columns. In a 2003 publication, Farewell and Herzberg presented an analysis of variance structure for such designs. They presented an example of a study in which medical practitioners, trained in different ways, evaluated a series of videos of patients obtained under a variety of conditions. However, their analysis did not take full account of all error terms. In this paper, a more comprehensive analysis of this study is presented, informed by the recognition that the study can also be regarded as a two-phase design. The development of random effects models is outlined and the potential importance of block-treatment interactions is highlighted. The use of a variety of techniques is shown to lead to a better understanding of the study. Examination of the variance components involved in the expected mean squares is demonstrated to have particular value in identifying appropriate error terms for F-tests derived from an analysis of variance table. A package such as ASReml can also be used provided an appropriate error structure is specified. The methods presented can be applied to the design and analysis of other complex studies in which participants supply multiple measurements under a variety of conditions.

Ensuring and improving the quality of products is currently an urgent task implemented through product quality management. In connection with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Rospotrebnadzor recommends the use of quartz lamps when disinfecting premises. The article discusses the issue of assessing the quality of a device for home use of a quartz ultraviolet irradiator OUFK-01. In accordance with the WHO recommendations, the irradiation indicator became the main one for the study. The study was carried out using an ANOVA model with several iterations. Purpose of the study: to study the variability of the irradiance index in different UV ranges depending on the source of UV radiation (UV lamp) of the ultraviolet irradiator OUFK-01. The main advantage of the analysis of variance was used – the ability to consider the interaction of various factors. The conclusions that were formulated based on the results of analysis of variance suggest that the quality of the OUFK-01 irradiator has changed. Data processing was carried out using the MS EXCEL software package. The article provides a rationale for what is meant by “quality improvement”, namely, in order not to violate the bactericidal effect, it is necessary to reduce the UV-A and UV-B ranges to acceptable values, since the effect of UV-C rays has not been fully studied, then the irradiance should be increased to the permissible wavelength range. A comparative analysis of successively modified products showed that the quality of the device increased with the replacement of the UV lamp.

One of the basic principles of experimental design is blocking, which is an important factor in the treatment of the systematic spatial variability that can be found in the edaphic properties where agricultural experiments are conducted. Blocking has a mitigating or suppressing effect on the spatial dependence in the residuals of a model, something desirable in standard linear modeling, specifically in design models. Some computer programs yield a p value associated with the blocking effect in the analysis of variance table that in many cases has been incorrectly used to discard it, and although it may improve some properties of the analysis, it may affect the independence assumption required in several models. Therefore, the present research recommends the use of the H statistic associated with the corrected blocking efficiency to show the role of blocking in modeling with the incorporation of an additional advantage rarely considered related to the suppression or mitigation of spatial dependence. With the use of the Moran index, the spatial dependence of the residuals was studied in a simple factorial design in a completely randomized and blocking field layout, which evidenced the advantages of blocking in the mitigation or suppression of the spatial dependence despite the apparently little or no importance it seems to show in the analysis of variance table.

It has long been observed that independent laboratories differ in reporting the results of repeated experiments. The problem is to detect those laboratories that might be considered aberrant. Previous analyses have been based on an analysis of variance framework or on subset selection for the detection of aberrant laboratories. The present procedure is also based on an ANOVA model but uses a Bayesian estimate of the number of aberrant laboratories. Subsequent to the determination of the aberrant laboratories, a linear model is used to separate sampling and laboratory effects.

O experimento foi conduzido nos meses de Abril e Maio de 2001, no Centro de Estações Experimentais do Cangüiri, na Granja de Suínos do SCA da UFPR, situada no município de Pinhais (PR). O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da inclusão de gordura protegida (GP) na alimentação de suínos na fase de pós-desmame, em substituição em peso ao milho. Foram utilizados 62 leitões recém-desmamados, com 22 dias de vida, em média, mestiços Landrace com Large White, num delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos em diferentes níveis de inclusão da GP (0; 1,5; 3,0; 4,5 e; 6,0%), com seis repetições por tratamento e dois animais por unidade experimental. Os leitões foram alojados em boxes situados no setor de crescimento e terminação da granja. As rações foram ofertadas à vontade. A análise de variância dos resultados e o teste de diferença entre as médias dos tratamentos, segundo o teste de Newman Keuls, foram efetuadas com o programa SAEG (Sistema de Análises Estatísticas e Genéticas). Em média, os ganhos de peso diário (GPD) foram: 0,448; 0,427; 0,363; 0,351; 0,316 kg; os consumos diários de ração (CDR) foram: 1,40; 1,31; 1,23; 1,20; 1,22 kg; e as conversões alimentares (CA) foram: 1,57; 1,52; 1,71; 1,69; 1,97, respectivamente para os tratamentos de um a cinco. Os resultados obtidos de GPD, CDR e CA apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos em regressão linear (P < 0,05), com R2 de 0,96, 0,79 e 0,77, respectivamente. Use of added fat in pre-initial swine feeding Abstract An evaluation of the inclusion of added fat in postweaning swine feeding as a substitute - weight by weight - of corn, was carried out during April and May of 2001 at the Canguiri’s UFPR Experimental Station Centers, Pinhais PR . For this experiment, 62 landrace/large white recently weaned litters, averaging 22 days of life, were used. The research was carried out according to an experimental delineation in casual blocks with five treatments at 5 different levels of fat inclusion (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0%), with six repetitions for each treatment and two animals for each experimental unit. The pigs were located in special boxes used at the Experimental Station Center for growth and termination. The rations were supplied ad libitum. Analysis of variance of the results and the average tests of the different treatments according to Newman Keuls’s tests were carried out by means of the SAEG (Statistical and Genetics Analysis System) program. The values for the treatments from one to five respectively of the following parameters were considered: 1. Earnings of daily weight (DW): 0.448, 0.427, 0.363, 0.351, 0.316 kg; 2. Daily ration intakes (DCR): 1.40, 1.31, 1.23, 1.20, 1.22 kg; 3. Alimentary conversions (AC): 1.57, 1.52, 1.71, 1.69, 1.97. The lineal regression (P < 0.05) of the results found for DW, DCR and AC showed significant differences among the different treatments, with r² of 0.96, 0.79 and 0.77, respectively.
