ABC design

More recently, a research group from Thailand screened a variety of EOs used in aromatherapy for their effects on electrical brain activity and mood after inhalation. All experiments were conducted in healthy human subjects and employed the same ABC design, that is, a no-odor control condition (A) was followed by a condition (B) in which a carrier oil without EO was presented and nally by the experimental condition (C) in which the EO of interest diluted in the carrier was administered. The EOs under study were jasmine (Sayowan et al. 2013), rosemary (Sayorwan et al. 2013), citronella (Sayowan et al. 2012), and lavender (Sayorwan et al. 2012a,b). In light of the...

In the following discussion, block copolymers will be simply designated by the acronym A-B for a diblock copolymer, A-B-A for a triblock copolymer with two identical outer blocks, A-B-C for an ABC triblock copolymer, etc. A complete list of abbreviations for the A, B, and C polymer blocks is given in the Abbreviations and Symbols section.

Calculate the grand average (MEAN), the three classical main effects (A, B, and C), the three two-factor interactions (AB, AC, and AD), and the single three-factor interaction (ABC) for the 2 full factorial design shown in the cube plot in Section 14.1. (Assume coded factor levels of -1 and +1). 

In this context, each patient would be receiving each of the multiple treatments. In the cross-over trial with three treatments this would likely be a three-period, three-treatment design and patients would be randomised to one of the six sequences ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB or CBA. Although there are again ways of asking a simultaneous question relating to the equality of the three treatment means through an analysis of variance approach this is unlikely to be of particular relevance questions of real interest will concern pairwise comparisons. 

AC and BC) and one three-factor interaction (ABC). From the 2 full factorial design shown in Table 3.5 these seven effects can be calculated. An eighth statistic that can be obtained from this design is the mean result. From a 2 full factorial design therefore 2 statistics can be calculated. The... 

The relationship D = ABC in this design is called the generator. The factor D and the three-factor interaction ABC are called aliases of one another because they are confounded. All aliases can be determined with the help of the defining relation or defining contrast (I). It is obtained by multiplying the effects occuring in the generator. 

The defining relations are then 1 = ABODE, 1 = ABCF and 1 = DEF. The resolution of the design is III since the smallest defining relation contains three terms. This means that certain main effects are confounded with two-factor interactions, e.g. D = EF = ABCE = ABCDF.
