Graphical One-way ANOVA with Blocking

This script demonstrates a new graphical ANOVA procedure developed by Box and Hunter. This script is for the particular case of a one-way ANOVA with optional blocking. It is especially effective with data from a designed experiment. (A separate script is available for the n-way ANOVA case.)

Simply open a data table, then open and run the script. I will use a simulated experiment from Custom Design. The factor X1 has four levels and there are 6 blocks for a total of 24 runs.

The script inserts the new plots into a Oneway platform. Traditional summary of fit and analysis of variance tables follow a new graphic display. The estimates for the block effects and the treatment effects are plotted along with the residuals. The scaling in these plots allows a direct comparison between the size of the estimate to the residuals.

Special Thanks!

Jose Ramirez was kind enough to test my script and report an error in the calculation of the scaling.
