Inferential statistics cannot separate variability due to treatment from variability due to experimental units when there is only one measurement per unit. Sacrificial pseudoreplication (Figure 5b in Hurlbert 1984) occurs when means within a treatment are used in an analysis, and these means are tested over the within unit variance.
Replication in statistics evaluates the consistency of experiment results across different trials to ensure external validity, while repetition measures precision and internal consistency within the same or similar experiments. [5] Replicates Example: Testing a new drug's effect on blood pressure in separate groups on different days.
Let a be the value of our statistic as calculated from the full sample; let a i (i = 1,...,n) be the corresponding statistics calculated for the half-samples. (n is the number of half-samples.) Then our estimate for the sampling variance of the statistic is the average of (a i − a) 2. This is (at least in the ideal case) an unbiased estimate ...

Repeated measures design is a research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods. [1]
Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method.For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set should be achieved again with a high degree of reliability when the study is replicated.
I restored the definition of 'pseudoreplication' by quoting Hurlbert's article, with attribution. I added a simple example (tanks) and a computationally correct definition (misformed F-ratio). I added detail to the types of 'pseudoreplication' as defined by Hurlbert. I revised several topics (Hypothesis testing, Notes).
