Factorial Design
• What are factorial experimental designs, and what advantages do
they have over one-way experiments?
• What is meant by crossing the factors in a factorial design?
• What are main effects, interactions, and simple effects?
• What are some of the possible patterns that interaction can take?
• How are the data from a factorial design presented in the research
reports?
• What is a mixed factorial design?
• What is the purpose of comparing means, and what statistical
techniques are used to do this?
