Well, what I was asking is, for your example,
When we have two different analysis results,
1) Y=A+B+AB, 2) Y=B+A+BA,
If one changes method 1) to 2), what practical explanation would have changed ?
Is only the user's priority has been changed, like, 'I suppose factor B is more matter so let my equation be 2), then analysis as latter is correct' ?
And my background is like self-study on statistics sothat I always have thought like
1. fractional factorial design < is one special case of the Factorial design
2. CCD < is Factorial design which has additional Center point and consideration of the Orthogonality, whatever else makes analysis more precise.
3. and so on.
It was like, as long as there are 'factors' of interest, I have thought they are all Factorial design..
And this is the off the subject question but I am sure you know.
If 3^3 factorial design was conducted with no replication, (27 measurements)
Done as Complete Randomized Design.
ABC interaction can be partitioned to, 4 parts (each of 2 df),
ABC
ABCC (=ABC^2)
ABBC
ABBCC
(now I found that above terms can be calculated through JMP with inputting Factors like a*b*c*c and a*a*b*b*c which sum up to the ABCC)
normaly, I would have choose ABC term in anova as Error term (supposing several assumptions are met) and go to F test.
However, recently I had noticed that this ABC interaction term can be devided as above,
Thus, if, needed assumptions are met, I can arbitrarily choose whichever of the 4 components to become a Error term?
Like, below 3 cases are all making sense.
case 1) I choose ABCC as Error term (2df)
case 2) I choose ABC and ABCC as Error term (4df).
case 3 ) I choose All the terms as Error (8df)
(of course I know I cannot suggest the practical meaning of choosing this)
