Model For A Randomized Block Design
The model for a randomized block design with one nuisance variable is
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:
“When you model yourself on people, you should try to resemble their good sides.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
