where
- Yij is any observation for which X1 = i and X2 = j
- X1 is the primary factor
- X2 is the blocking factor
- μ is the general location parameter (i.e., the mean)
- Ti is the effect for being in treatment i (of factor X1)
- Bj is the effect for being in block j (of factor X2)

Famous quotes containing the words model, block and/or design:
“I had a wonderful job. I worked for a big model agency in Manhattan.... When I got on the subway to go to work, it was like traveling into another world. Oh, the shops were beautiful, we had Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Bonwit’s, DePinna. The women wore hats and gloves. Another world. At home, it was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, going to PTA, Girl Scouts. But when I got into the office, everything was different, I was different.”
—Estelle Shuster (b. c. 1923)
“The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.”
—Marilyn French (20th century)
