THE COMPUTER-ANALYSIS OF FACTORIAL-EXPERIMENTS - IN-MEMORIAM - YATES,FRANK

The responses to a recent paper by Dallal in this journal are evaluate d by reference to the ideas of Frank Yates. It is concluded that much unnecessary complication has been introduced into the computer analysi s of linear models by (1) the imposition of constraints on parameters, (2) neglect of marginality relations in forming hypotheses, and (3) c onfusion between the form of noncentrality parameters and hypotheses.
