  2. Statistical unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_unit

    Units are often referred to as being either experimental units or sampling units: An "experimental unit" is typically thought of as one member of a set of objects that are initially equal, with each object then subjected to one of several experimental treatments. Put simply, it is the smallest entity to which a treatment is applied.

  3. Blocking (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(statistics)

    In the statistical theory of the design of experiments, blocking is the arranging of experimental units in groups (blocks) that are similar to one another. Typically, a blocking factor is a source of variability that is not of primary interest to the experimenter. [3] [4] No blocking (left) vs blocking (right) experimental design

  4. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    Blocking (right) Blocking is the non-random arrangement of experimental units into groups (blocks) consisting of units that are similar to one another. Blocking reduces known but irrelevant sources of variation between units and thus allows greater precision in the estimation of the source of variation under study.

  5. Replication (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)

    However, repeat measurements are collected during a single experimental session, while replicate measurements are gathered across different experimental sessions. [2] Replication in statistics evaluates the consistency of experiment results across different trials to ensure external validity, while repetition measures precision and internal ...

  6. Completely randomized design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_randomized_design

    (where ! denotes factorial) possible run sequences (or ways to order the experimental trials). Because of the replication , the number of unique orderings is 90 (since 90 = 6!/(2!*2!*2!)). An example of an unrandomized design would be to always run 2 replications for the first level, then 2 for the second level, and finally 2 for the third level.

  7. Randomized experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomized_experiment

    In the statistical theory of design of experiments, randomization involves randomly allocating the experimental units across the treatment groups.For example, if an experiment compares a new drug against a standard drug, then the patients should be allocated to either the new drug or to the standard drug control using randomization.

  8. Factorial experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_experiment

    Designed experiments with full factorial design (left), response surface with second-degree polynomial (right) In statistics, a full factorial experiment is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or "levels", and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors.

  9. Glossary of probability and statistics - Wikipedia

    The study of statistical methods that are enabled by using computational methods, at the interface of statistics and computer science. concomitants In a statistical study, any variables whose values are unaffected by experimental treatments, such as a unit’s age, gender, and cholesterol level before starting an experimental diet.
