ABSTRACT

One must recognize that the 2n factorial experiment is a special case of the general equal prime-number leveled factorial experiments. In the quantitative two-leveled factorial no mention is made of investigating for trends because one cannot examine the concept of deviations from linear. In even the equally spaced quantitative 32 factorial (which is the simplest case with more than two levels for each factor in the quantitative equal prime number leveled factorial), one can examine the results for departures from the linear concept. The reader may want to refer to Chapters 1 and 2 to reacquaint himself with the usefulness of quantitative levels and model development. In general, it will be seen that this chapter on three-leveled factorials will form the basis for easily extended procedures not only on equally spaced quantitative equal prime-number leveled factorials but also on the qualitative equal prime-number leveled factorials. Also, this chapter deals only with CRD in each block discussed.
