88 7 Balance and non-orthogonalityFACTOR [LABELS=!T('OOO','OOD','OKO','OKD',\'NOO','NOD','NKO','NKD')] TThe main effect of T would not be balanced: the comparison of levels{'OOO' 'OOD' 'OKO' 'OKD'}with {'NOO' 'NOD' 'NKO' 'NKD'}has efficiency factor one in the Blocks.Plots stratum and zero in the Blocks stratum(this contrast is equivalent to the main effect of N in the original specification); but thecomparison of levels{'NOO' 'NOD' 'OKO' 'OKD'}with {'OOO' 'OOD' 'NKO' 'NKD'}has efficiency 0.25 in the Blocks stratum and 0.75 in the Blocks.Plots stratum (thisis equivalent to N.K in the original specification). Thus the main effect of T is notbalanced, since in the Block.Plots stratum some of its contrasts have efficiency factorone, while others have efficiency factor 0.75. GenStat can detect unbalanced designs likethis, and will give you an error diagnostic.Fault 23, code AN 1, statement 1 on line 78Command: ANOVADesign unbalanced - cannot be analysed by ANOVA.Model term T (non-orthogonal to term Blocks) is unbalanced, in the Blocks.Plots stratum.It is still possible to analyse this particular design by ANOVA, by defining pseudo-factors(see Guide to the GenStat Command Language, Part 2, Section 4.7.3). However, thisrequires extra skill for the specification, and it may not be feasible in many cases. So, ifyou have a single error term, you can use the Unbalanced ANOVA menu (Section 7.4).Alternatively, if you have several error terms you can use the REML menus (Chapter 8).7.3 PracticalFactorial designs with interactionsconfounded with blocks can beconstructed using the GenerateFactorial Designs in Blocks menu,which can be opened by clicking onthe Generate a Factorial Design inBlocks sub-option of the Designoption of the Stats menu (Figure7.3).Figure 7.3
