A CALCULUS FOR FACTORIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Abstract
A special calculus for the analysis of factorial experiments is introduced. The calculus applies to the general case of asymmetric factorial experiments and is not restricted to symmetric factorials as is the current theory which relies on the theory of finite projective geometry. The concise notation and operations of this calculus point up the relationship of treatment combinations to interactions and the effect of patterns of arrangements on the distribution of relevant quantities. One aim is to carry out complex manipulations and operations with relative ease. The calculus enables many large order arithmetic operations, necessary for analyzing factorial designs, to be partly carried out by logical operations. This should be of importance in programming the analysis of factorial designs on high speed computers. (Author)
