JSM 2005 - Toronto

Abstract #304011

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.



The views expressed here are those of the individual authors
and not necessarily those of the ASA or its board, officers, or staff.

The Program has labeled the meeting rooms with "letters" preceding the name of the room, designating in which facility the room is located:

Minneapolis Convention Center = “MCC” Hilton Minneapolis Hotel = “H” Hyatt Regency Minneapolis = “HY”

Abstract:

Complete randomization in experiments for agricultural and engineering sciences may not be convenient due to constraints in time and/or cost or presence of hard-to-change factors. In these situations, restrictions on randomization lead to a split-plot design or one of its variants. These experiments contain different types of experimental units, resulting in more than one error term. This structure affects the analysis of such experiments. Extensive literature on the design and analysis of split-plot experiments has appeared lately. However, not many articles tackle the specificities of strip-plot designs. Strip-plot designs, also known as strip-block or split-lot designs, are particularly useful for processes than can be separated into two stages. We present an arrangement with a strip-plot structure, aiming at reduction of experimental costs. We provide theoretical and application properties of this layout, called post-fractionated strip-block design. Specifically, we show how to analyze such experiments when there is no replication. An experiment to improve batteries for hearing-aid devices is discussed to illustrate the application.
