Influence of row spacing reduction on maize grain yield in regions with a short summer [PDF]
The interest in reducing maize row spacing in the short growing season regions of Brazil is increasing due to potential advantages such as higher radiation use efficiency.

Considerable effort has been put over the last few decades into clarifying the correct design and analysis of split-plot factorial experiments. However, the information found in the literature is scattered and sometimes still not easy to grasp for non ...

Errors are always present in experimental measurements so, it is important to identify them and understand how they affect the results of experiments. Statistics suggest that the execution of experiments should follow random order, but unfortunately the ...

Selection and Screening Procedures to Determine Optimal Product Designs. (REVISED, April 1997) [PDF]
To compare several promising product designs, manufacturers must measure their performance under multiple environmental conditions. In many applications, a product design is considered to be seriously flawed if its performance is poor under any level of

Optimal Designs For the Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimators in a Random Split-Plot Model
The design effect for the restricted maximum likelihood estimators of variance components in acompletely randomized split-plot model is studied. The model was used to represent the response generated froman experimental scenario where the whole-plot and

Improved Split-Plot and Multistratum Designs [PDF]
Many industrial experiments involve some factors whose levels are harder to set than others. The best way to deal with these is to plan the experiment carefully as a split-plot, or more generally a multistratum, design. Several different approaches for constructing split-plot type response surface designs have been proposed in the literature since 2001,
