Strip plot design – layout –
ANOVA Table
Strip Plot Design
This design is also known as split
block design. When there are
two factors in an
experiment and both the factors
require large plot sizes it is
difficult to carryout the
experiment in split plot design.
Also the precision for measuring
the interaction effect
between the two factors is higher
than that for measuring the main
effect of either one of
the two factors. Strip plot design
is suitable for such experiments.
In strip plot design each block or
replication is divided into number
of vertical and
horizontal strips depending on
the levels of the respective
factors.
Replication 1 Replication 2
a0 a2 a3 a1 a3 a0 a2 a1
In this design there are plot
sizes.
1. Vertical strip plot for the first
factor – vertical factor
2. Horizontal strip plot for the
second factor – horizontal factor
3. Interaction plot for the
interaction between 2 factors
The vertical strip and the
horizontal strip are always
perpendicular to each other. The
interaction plot is the smallest
and provides information on the
interaction of the 2
factors. Thus we say that
interaction is tested with more
precision in strip plot design.
Analysis
The analysis is carried out in 3
parts.
1. Vertical strip analysis
2. Horizontal strip analysis
Interaction analysis
Suppose that A and B are the
vertical and horizontal strips
respectively. The
following two way tables, viz., A
X Rep table, B X Rep table and A
X B table are
formed. From A X Rep table, SS
for Rep, A and Error (a) are
computed. From B X Rep
table, SS for B and Error (b) are
computed. From A X B table, A X
B SS is calculated.
When there are r replications, a
levels for factor A and b levels for
factor B, then the
ANOVA table is
