The parametersnjrepresent the main effect of nitrogen (N)skrepresent the main effect of sulphur (S), andnsjkrepresent the interaction between nitrogen and sulphur (N.S).Just as in the one-way analysis, the analysis of variance essentially fits each term inturn, to allow you decide how complicated a model is required to describe the results ofthe experiment. The analysis-of-variance table has a line for each of these, to allow youto assess whether the corresponding parameters are needed in the model. The full model,above, will estimate the fitted values for sulphur and nitrogen (the values predicted by themodel) as
