The Case of the Missing Cell

Abstract

Abstract The occurrence of missing data cells precludes a universally correct procedure for performing an analysis of variance. This is illustrated by the use of two computer routines to analyze a 2 × 3 factorial experiment with one missing cell. One of these routines does, however, provide information that may enhance the usefulness of the associated results. Key Words: Linear modelsMissing cellsAnalysis of varianceEstimable functions
