It isn't actually that easy, in the sense that most data humans make up has a low efficiency with respect to design criteria -- the determinant of the cross-product matrix tends to be small. The simplest way is to use a computer program that calculates algorithmic designs. jim clark wrote: > >

I'm not clear on what your design is but it seems that the problem is in the between S effect not within. Note that you only have 4 df within and 4 dependent variables = Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks

Avoiding Linear Dependencies in Artificial Data Sets

2001-03-12 Thread jim clark
Hi I like to use small, artificially generated data sets with integer parameters to introduce analyses. Often, however, I find it difficult to avoid undesirable contingencies among the scores (e.g., linear dependencies in within-subject designs). Is there an algorithmic way to generate such sco
