Full Factorial
A full factorial experiment is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or levels A full factorial design may also be called a fully crossed design. Such an experiment allows the investigator to study the effect of each factor on the response variable, as well as the effects of interactions between factors on the response variable.

 For the vast majority of factorial experiments, each factor has only two levels. If the number of combinations in a full factorial design is too high to be logistically feasible, a fractional factorial design may be done.

 With factorial designs we can break down the model variability into:
Main effects:
Means difference among the levels of a particular factor

Interaction:
An interaction occurs when one factor effects the result differently depending on a second factor.

Hypothesis
Null hypothesis: mean1=mean2=meanN Alternate hypothesis: all means are different.

1- way Anova
This test is calculate on only one independent variable. For eg :
Suppose the National Transportation Safety Board wants to examine the safety of compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. Test whether the mean pressure applied to the driver s head during the crash test is equal for each car.
Factor: car with Level: Compact, midsize, full size Unit: each individual car Response Variable: pressure applied on driver of each car Null hypothesis: mean pressure are same for all car Alternate hypothesis: mean pressure are diferent for each car.

Multivariate Anova
Multivariate analysis of variance is simply an ANOVA with several independent variables
For eg:
EXAMPLE 2: Soft Drink Modeling Problem A soft drink bottler is interested in obtaining more uniform fill heights in the bottles produced by his manufacturing process. The filling machine theoretically fills each bottle to the correct target height, but in practice, there is variation around this target, and the bottler would like to understand better the sources of this variability and eventually reduce it. The engineer can control three variables during the filling process (each at two levels):

Factor A: Carbonation with Levels : 10% and 12% Factor B: Pressure in the filler with Levels : 25 and 30 psi Factor C: Line Speed with Levels: 200 and 250 bottles /min Unit: Each bottle Response variable: deviation from target fill height

Case study
Research question Is there a difference in high school students level of satisfaction with school based on there family social economic status and school credentials

Variables
Independent variable
Family socioeconomic status
High Medium Low A grade B grade {income > 1000000/ yr} {income 300000 - 1000000/ yr} {income < 300000/ yr}

Credentials of school

Dependent variable
Level of satisfaction with school
Range of 1 - 5

hypothesis
Null hypothesis There is no significant difference in high school students level of satisfaction with school based on there family socioeconomic status and credentials of school Alternate hypothesis There is a significant difference in high school students level of satisfaction with school based on there family socioeconomic status and credentials of school
