Nested and Split Plot Designs
Nested and Split-Plot Designs
These are multifactor experiments that address common economic and practical constraints encountered in experimentation with real systems.
Nested and split-plot designs frequently involve one or more random factors.
There are many variations of these designs.

Two-Stage Nested Design
Nested designthe levels of one factor (B) are similar to, but not identical to each other at different levels of another factor (A).
Consider a company that purchases material from three suppliers• The material comes in batches.• Is the purity of the material uniform?
Experimental design • Select four batches at random from each
supplier.• Make three purity determinations from each
batch.
Two-Stage Nested Design
Nested Design
A factor B is considered nested in another factor, A if the levels of factor B differ for different levels of factor A.
The levels of B are different for The levels of B are different for different levels of A.different levels of A.
Synonyms indicating nesting:• Depends on, different for, within, in,

Examples - Crossed5-1 The yield of a chemical process is being studied. The two most important variables are thought to be the pressure and the temperature. Three levels of each factor are selected, and a factorial experiment with two replicates is performed. The yield data follow:

Assume that fixtures and layouts are fixed, operators are random – gives a mixed model
(use restricted form).
Alternative Analysis
If the need detailed analysis is not available, start with multi-factor ANOVA and then combine sum of squares and degrees of freedom.
Applicable to experiments with only nested factors as well as experiments with crossed and nested factors.Sum of squares from interactions are combined with the sum of squares for a
nested factor – no interaction can be determined from the nested factor.

The Split-Plot Design
The split-plot is a multifactor experiment where it is not practical to completely randomize the order of the runs.
Example – paper manufacturing• Three pulp preparation methods.• Four different temperatures.• The experimenters want to use three
replicates.• How many batches of pulp are required?
The Split-Plot Design
Pulp preparation method is a hard-to-change factor.
Consider an alternate experimental design:• In replicate 1, select a pulp preparation
method, prepare a batch.• Divide the batch into four sections or samples,
and assign one of the temperature levels to each.
• Repeat for each pulp preparation method.• Conduct replicates 2 and 3 similarly.
The Split-Plot Design
Each replicate has been divided into three parts, called the whole plots.• Pulp preparation methods is the whole plot
treatment. Each whole plot has been divided into four
subplots or split-plots.• Temperature is the subplot treatment.
Generally, the hard-to-change factor is assigned to the whole plots.
This design requires 9 batches of pulp (assuming three replicates).
