A designed experiment must satisfy all requirements of the objectives of a study but is also subject to the limitations of available resources. Below we will give examples of how the objective and hypothesis of a study influences the design of an experiment. 1. 4. 2. Objectives and experimental design

- SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The act of replication serves four valuable functions in com-parative experimentation. First, it provides a mechanism to estimate experimental error, which is essential to provide valid hypothesis tests and confidence intervals of estimators. With-out replication, there is no ability to estimate background vari-ation or “noise” in the estimates of ...
The principle of randomness applies to the proper conduct of experiments at two levels. First, a careful definition of the experimental materials and facilities to be included in the exper-iment demands that each be properly sampled to ensure that it is properly represented. Whether the treatments derive from bags of seed, livestock, pathogens, or ...
Blocking is utilized in experimental designs for one or both of two purposes: (i) for precision, to create groups of experi-mental units that are more homogeneous than would occur with random sampling of the entire population of experimental units; or (ii) for convenience, to allow diferent sizes of experi-mental units when larger plots or larger e...
Biological research is expensive, with monetary costs to granting agencies and emotional costs to researchers. As such, biological researchers should always follow the mantra, “fail-ure is not an option.” A failed experimental design is gener-ally manifested as an experiment with high P values, leaving the researcher with uncertain or equivocal con...
Factor: factor is a variable defining a categorization. A factor can be fixed or random in nature. A factor is termed as a fixed factor if all the levels of interest are included in the experiment.
