Statistical Analysis Assignment 4: Analyzing Experimental Data with CRD Design - Prof. Tre, Assignments of Statistics

Instructions for assignment 4 of stat 6208, a spring 2009 course. Students are required to analyze experimental data using a completely randomized design (crd) and perform various statistical tests, including normal probability plots, residual plots, levene test, and confidence intervals. They will be using sas or r for computations.

Using SAS R
or R, fit the usual model, then do the following:
(a) Produce a normal probability plot of the standardized residuals. Comment on whether
the plot shows evidence that your data do not follow the usual model assumptions, and,
if so, in what way.
[Note: Comparison with the sample normal probability plots posted on the course web
site may help you to judge whether your plot shows sufficiently strong evidence of
deviation from the usual model assumptions.]
(b) Produce a plot of residuals versus fitted (predicted) values. Comment on whether the
plot shows evidence that your data do not follow the usual model assumptions, and, if
so, in what way.
(c) Perform a modified Levene test for homogeneity of group variances (α= 0.05).
2. Perform Exercise 6.4 from Section 6.8 in the textbook. (You may use SASR
or R to perform
the computations.) In addition, decide which transformation power you would use.
3. Perform Exercise 6.5 in your textbook, Section 6.8.

Using SAS ©R or R, fit the usual model, then do the following:

(a) Produce a normal probability plot of the standardized residuals. Comment on whether

the plot shows evidence that your data do not follow the usual model assumptions, and,

if so, in what way.

[Note: Comparison with the sample normal probability plots posted on the course web

site may help you to judge whether your plot shows sufficiently strong evidence of

deviation from the usual model assumptions.]

(b) Produce a plot of residuals versus fitted (predicted) values. Comment on whether the

plot shows evidence that your data do not follow the usual model assumptions, and, if

so, in what way.

3. Perform Exercise 6.5 in your textbook, Section 6.8.

4. Suppose you are designing an experiment to compare five different treatments in a CRD. A

pilot study suggests that the mean treatment responses μ 1 ,... , μ 5 and the response error

variance σ^2 are as listed after your name in the following table.

Assume that the experiment will be designed with equal numbers of experimental units per

treatment group. You may use SAS ©R or R to complete the following parts:

(a) What is the minimum number of experimental units per treatment group required so

that an individual (not simultaneous) 95% two-sided confidence interval for a difference

between two treatment response means will have width no greater than

approximately 8? (Use the value of σ^2 suggested by the pilot study as your guess for the

estimated error variance.)

(b) What is the power of the ANOVA F -test for treatment effects using α = 0.05 when

there are 3 experimental units per treatment group and the alternative is the one

suggested by the pilot study?

[Note: If you use the power curves in textbook Table D.10 to answer this part, beware

of a mistake in the description on p. 621 — the formula for the noncentrality parameter

is missing a factor of n.]

(c) What is the minimum number of experimental units per treatment group required so

that, at the alternative suggested by the pilot study, the power of the ANOVA F -test

using α = 0.01 is at least 0.95? (Note that the α level is 0.01, not 0.05.)
