OriginPro (https://www.originlab.com) is one of my favorite software, especially for graphing. It can also do many statistical analyses. However, I can't do one-way ANOVA with RCBD design (i.e. blocking is used as a factor to minimize error in the field experiment).
Does anyone have experience with the techniques for including blocking factors in this ANOVA model?
Hello Kedir,
As both prior replies have directly addressed your concern, please allow me to offer a general observation.
In a real sense, the term "one-way anova with blocks" is a bit of a misnomer. You have, in reality, two independent variables. As a blocking factor frequently represents a restriction on randomization, it can be debatable as to whether the model should or should not include an IV x Block interaction term. But otherwise, this design will behave like a two-way anova (or the associated regression model).
As long as your preferred software program allows for either two-way anova or multiple linear regression, you can certainly obtain the results you seek, even if it does not claim to have a one-way anova for RCBD.
Good luck with your work.
