Splitting factors

This, replicating measurements only improves the sampling and measurement precision within the experiment. The individual measurements are not complete replicates and should not be treated as separate experiments. In general, the mean value of the measurements is treated as a single datum in the statistical analysis. See the following section and also the section in chapter 7 on the dependence of the residuals on combinations of 2 or more factors (split-plot designs). 

The only new feature here is the crucial one the appearance of the radial distance squared in the exponential factor which, of course, means that, unlike the STO exponential factor, the GTF exponential factor splits into a product of separate functions of the (local) Cartesian coordinates. Further, since the relationship between any two (parallel) Cartesian coordinate systems is simply addition of a constant to each coordinate, this separation process is possible in the global coordinate system. 

The returns model stipulates that return is function of m-factors. Splitting up return into several factors allows us to approach the model in the following way ...
