Hello statisticians in the house,
I am collecting samples from an already established field experiment with the following research details
Plant cultivars = Whole plot, 3 levels (cultivars A, B, and C)
Grazing level = Subplot, 2 levels (Grazing vs no grazing)
Block= 4 blocks
However, for my current experiment, I am only interested in the plant cultivars without the grazing effect. So, I collected the plant samples at no grazing level. How do I go about my statistical analysis? Should I treat it as a one-way ANOVA with blocking as a factor considering that there is no subplot factor anymore?
Thanks,
It's not clear to me where the block comes in to play when you say "RCBD". Should you be analyzing the main plots as a one-way anova plus a blocking factor?
You can analyze the data by splitting the data that you collected from the whole plot of a split plot.
Sal Mangiafico , I found a solution to this question. Since, the subplot treatments have been removed, the design is reduced to randomized complete block design.
Yes as you are focusing on one factor, the single way ANOVA should be performed
