Replication means taking more than one response measurement at some or all levels of a factor. In two-factor situations, replication can be represented in the data entry table by identifying more than one row or column with the same factor level.
For example, suppose you measured a response at various combinations of temperature and pressure, taking two measurements at each temperature:
|
|
high | Pressure medium | low |
---|---|---|---|---|
high | 111 |
|
|
|
|
115 | 93 | 65 | |
Temperature | medium | 101 | 87 | 53 |
|
|
103 | 92 | 53 |
low | 102 | 79 | 42 | |
|
|
101 | 88 | 47 |
