Split-Plots Designs Used when one (or more ) factors require more experimental material for evaluation Different size experimental units Whole plots Split Plots
3
Split Plots Common in Process Experiments When different factors are from different process steps When randomizing the levels of one factor is difficult or time consuming
4
Process Experiments Factor in Earlier Step become Whole Plot Factor Factors in Later Steps can be varied within and become subplot factors Process Step 1 Process Step 2 Process Step 3
5
Example: Cookie Baking Experiment Orange Cookies Chocolate Cookies Problem: Although made from the same recipe, except the syrup, the chocolate cookies stay thick and round after baking, but the orange cookies spread thin and flat.
6
Research Question: want to study factors that may affect the final diameter of the orange cookies. Factors to study: 1) Amount of shortening in cookie dough 2) Bake Temperature
7
Experimental Procedure : 1. Mix the ingredients in the dough 2. Add the orange syrup Note: one dough batch makes enough for several trays of cookies
8
3. Set the oven temperature and allow the temperature to stabilize 4. Place the cookies in the oven, and set the timer. 5. Remove tray of cookies, measure diameter of each cookie and calculate the average per tray

Experimental Plan 2 2 Factorial Replicated Factor Run Amount of Shortening Bake Temperature Batch 1 Low Low 1 2 High Low 2 3 Low High 3 4 High High 4 5 Low Low 5 6 High Low 6 7 Low High 7 8 High High 8 This plan requires 8 batches of Cookies
10
Note: one dough batch makes enough for several trays of cookies so we could test all four combinations with two batches Batch 1 Batch 2 Factor Run Amount of Shortening Bake Temperature 1 Low Low 2 Low High 3 High Low 4 High High What is the problem with this plan?
11
Experimental Plan 2 2 Factorial Its difficult to completely Randomize the order, because once I make a batch I must use it up before I can change the level of Amount of Shortening. However, I can vary the Bake Temperature from tray to tray within the batch. Any difference due to Amount of Shortening could be confused with differences in other ingredients (eggs, flour, etc. ) that change between batch 1 and batch 2 Batch 1 Batch 2 Factor Run Amount of Shortening Bake Temperature 1 Low Low 2 Low High 3 High Low 4 High High
13
Solution: make replicate batches with the same amount of shortening Factor Run Amount of Shortening Batch 1 Low 1 2 Low 2 3 High 3 4 High 4 Now I can randomize which batches get high or low amount of shortening, and the experimental unit for amount shortening is batch. Fixed Effect of Amount of Shortening Random (nested) effect of Batch This is the error term for testing Amount of Shortening
14
I can still vary the Bake Temperature from Tray to Tray within a Batch. I can randomize the order of Bake Temperatures within each Batch What is the Experimental Unit for Bake Temperature? What is the model for the combined Plan? Factor Amount of Bake Run Batch Shortening Tray Temperature 1 1 Low 1 Low 2 1 Low 2 High 3 2 High 1 Low 4 2 High 2 High 5 3 Low 1 Low 6 3 Low 2 High 7 4 High 1 Low 8 4 High 2 High

Hard to Vary Factors Some factors are hard or time consuming to vary Complete randomization is impractical
34
Example, John Ward (2006) Objective - study effects of factors such as: lure weight, line weight, and casting method upon distance to cast a lure with a fishing pole.

A= Lure wt. - = light + = heavy Easy to change
37
B = Hangs of tip of Rod - = 3 to 6 inches + = 18 to 24 inches Easy to change

More variability over longer blocks of time, thus whole plots likely to vary more than subplots
