Chapter 5
Cross-Over Designs without Residual Effects

5.1 INTRODUCTION

When several treatments are tested in an experiment, it is economical and efficient to use sequences of treatments on each experimental unit. In such cases, the treatment differences can be more accurately estimated by eliminating the differences in experimental units.

Consider an experiment in which v treatments are tested on b experimental units. Let the duration of the experiment be suitably divided into k periods for application of treatments. Each of the v treatments can be used on each experimental unit, or a subset of the v treatments can be used on each experimental unit depending on the relative sizes of v and k. With v = 4 = k = b, using treatments A, B, C, and D, the experimental layout may appear as in Table 5.1.1.

Table 5.1.1 Design for v = b = k = 4

Period Experimental unit
1 2 3 4
1 A B C D
2 B A D C
3 C D A B
4 D C B A

In the layout of Table 5.1.1, unit 1 receives treatments A, B, C, and D in that order in the four periods; unit 2 receives treatments B, A, D, and C in that order in the four periods; etc. With v = 7, k = 3, b = 7, an experimental layout is given in Table 5.1.2.

Period Experimental unit
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1 A B C D E F G
2 B C D E F G A
3 D E F G A B C

In the layout of Table 5.1.2, unit 1 receives treatments A, B, and D in that order of the seven treatments A–G; unit 2 receives treatments B, C, and E in that order; etc.

Since a sequence of treatments are applied on each experimental unit and the treatments are changed during the course of the experimentation, in the literature, this class of designs are called cross-over designs, change-over designs, or switch-over designs. In this monograph, they will be referred to as cross-over designs.

In cross-over designs, it is possible that the treatments may produce direct effects in the period of its application and residual effects in the periods after its application is discontinued. The residual effect of a treatment in the ith period after its application will be called ith-order residual effect. Usually though not always, the ith-order residual effect will be smaller than the (i – 1)th-order residual effect, and thus, in many experimental situations, one ignores the second- and higher-order residual effects.

The linear model used to analyze these designs should either incorporate a term accounting for the residual effects, or the experimenter should conduct the experiment and collect the data in such a manner that there is a reasonable washout period between successive applications of the treatments and the times of collecting the data for each treatment. In the washout period, the unit will not receive any treatment so that the effect of the treatment used in the previous period washes out.

Designs using washout periods, which do not account for residual effects, will be referred to as CODWOR, while cross-over designs where no washout periods are provided between periods and residual effects are accounted in the model will be referred to as CODWR.

CODWOR designs will be discussed in this chapter, while CODWR designs will be discussed in Chapters 68.

5.2 Fixed Effects Analysis of CODWOR

As mentioned in the introduction, CODWOR designs will now be considered using v treatments in k periods on b experimental units. The layout can be conveniently represented in a k × b array using v symbols, where the units correspond to the columns, rows to the periods, and symbols to the treatments. These designs are known in statistical design literature as row–columns designs, designs eliminating heterogeneity in two directions, or two-way elimination of heterogeneity designs.

Designs eliminating heterogeneity are available in a more general setting where some cells are untreated by the experimental treatments, and/or some cells receive multiple treatments. However, such generalized two-way elimination heterogeneity designs may not be usually appropriate as repeated measurements designs, as there is no need to provide an extra rest period for an experimental unit because a washout period was already provided in the experimental protocol. Furthermore, if a unit washes out or dies in the course of the experiment, such designs do not fall into the framework of a generalized two-way elimination of heterogeneity designs. Thus, attention is given in this chapter to designs where every cell is filled and the interested readers on generalized two-way elimination of heterogeneity designs are referred to Agrawal (1966a–c), Freeman and Jeffers (1962), and Pothoff (1962). Two-way Anova designs with multiple observations per cell may not be appropriate as RMD designs. However, allowances are made for using a treatment more than once on a unit in different periods.

The designs considered in this chapter will be written as a k × b square array where each cell is filled with one of the v symbols {1, 2, …, v}. Here, the columns correspond to the experimental units, rows to the periods, and symbols to the treatments. Let d(i, j) be the symbol used in the ith row and jth column. Let the ith symbol be replicated ri times and let r′ = (r1, r2, …, rv). If Yij is the observation taken in the ith period on the jth unit, it is assumed that

where μ is the general mean, ρi is the ith row (or period) effect, γj is the jth column (or unit) effect, τd(i,j) is the treatment effect of the treatment d(i, j), and eij are random errors assumed to be IIN(0, σ2). Note that γj’s may be random effects if the experimental units are randomly selected from the population of experimental units and the results in this direction will be discussed in Section 5.9. In this section, we restrict ourselves to the situation where the units are not randomly selected and γj’s are fixed effects.

Let ρ′ = (ρ1, ρ2, …, ρk), γ′ = (γ1, γ2, …, γb), τ′ = (τ1, τ2, …, τv), and Y′ = (Y11, Y12, …, Y1b, Y21, …, Y2b, …, Yk1, …, Ykb). Let U be a kb × v matrix whose images position is 1 if the images treatment is applied in the (i, j) cell and 0 otherwise. Equation (5.2.1) can be rewritten as

Let images, where images is the number of times the ith treatment occurs in the jth row and let Mv,b = (mij), where mij is the number of times the ith treatment occurs in the jth column. Matrices L and M are, respectively, known as treatment-row and treatment-column incidence matrices.

The normal equations for the model (5.2.2) can be easily obtained and are

where D(r) denotes a diagonal matrix with diagonal entries, r1, r2, …, rv, G is the grand total, P is the k × 1 vector of row totals Pi, C is the column vector of column totals Cj, T is the column vector of treatment totals images of responses, and ‘images’ over a parameter denotes its least squares estimator. The notation Cα|β,γ,… will be used throughout this monograph to denote the coefficient matrix of images in the reduced normal equations after eliminating the parameter vectors included in the subscript(s) after the bar and ignoring the parameter vectors not listed in the subscripts, but are present in the model. The parameter μ is obviously eliminated, but will not be used as a subscript of C. Similar interpretation will be given to the adjusted treatment totals Qα|β,γ,…. Clearly, LJk,1 = r, J1,vL = bJ1,k, MJb,1 = r, J1,vM = kJ1,b, J1,kP = J1,bC = J1,vT = G.

The second Equation of (5.2.3) can be solved for images to get

(5.2.4)images

Substituting for images in the third Equation of (5.2.3) and simplifying, we obtain

where

(5.2.6)images

Since images, from Equation (5.2.5), we have

(5.2.7)images

Substituting for images and images in the fourth Equation of (5.2.3) and simplifying, the reduced normal equations estimating images are given by

(5.2.8)images

where

(5.2.9)images

and

(5.2.10)images

The residual sum of squares for the model (5.2.2) is

images
(5.2.11)images

with (b – 1)(k – 1) – Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ), degrees of freedom. When Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ) = v – 1, all elementary contrasts of treatment effects are estimable and the design is said to be connected. The connectedness property for CODWOR will be discussed in Section 5.3.

The null hypothesis of main interest to the experimenter is

The restricted model then becomes

(5.2.13)images

where μ* = μ + a, and after some routine algebra, the residual sum of squares of the restricted model is given by

(5.2.14)images

with (b – 1) (k – 1), degrees of freedom. Thus, the sum of squares for testing the null hypothesis (5.2.12) is given by

(5.2.15)images

with Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ) degrees of freedom. From the linear estimation theory (see Rao 1973, p. 191), we use

(5.2.16)images

as a critical region for testing H0τ, where υ1 = Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ), υ2 = (b – 1)(k – 1) – Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ) and Fα(υ1, υ2) is the upper α percentile point of the F distribution. These results can be summarized in the Anova Table 5.2.1.

Table 5.2.1 Anova table for CODWOR

Columns (ig. treat) b – 1 images
Treatments (el. rows, col) υ 1 imagesQτ|ρ,γ MSt MSt/MSe

Total bk – 1 images

MSt = imagesQτ|ρ,γ/υ1, MSe = E/υ2, υ1 = Rank(Cτ|ρ,γ), υ2 = (b – 1)(k – 1) – υ1.

As noted earlier, not all contrasts of treatment effects are estimable for every design.

Since Cτ|ρ,γJv,1 = Ov,1, if images is estimable, then images. It can be easily seen that images is estimable iff images. If images is estimable, then its best linear unbiased estimate (b.l.u.e.) is

(5.2.17)images

with variance

(5.2.18)images

Thus, the null hypothesis

(5.2.19)images

when images is estimable, can be tested by using the t-statistic

(5.2.20)images

with υ2 degrees of freedom for all real values a. Scheffe’s method of multiple comparisons can be used for drawing inferences about several contrasts.

To test the null hypothesis of equality of column effects given by

we eliminate images, images, and images, in that order in Equation (5.2.3) to get

(5.2.22)images

where

(5.2.23)images
(5.2.24)images

Cτ|ρ and Qτ|ρ being, respectively, given by

(5.2.25)images

The sum of squares for testing the null hypothesis (5.2.21) will then be given by

with Rank(Cγ|ρ,τ) = υ3 degrees of freedom. The critical region for testing H0γ is then given by

(5.2.27)images

Putting

(5.2.28)images
(5.2.29)images
(5.2.30)images

the reduced normal equations for estimating images are

(5.2.31)images

and the sum of squares for testing

(5.2.32)images

is given by

(5.2.33)images

with Rank(Cρ|γ,τ) = υ4 degrees of freedom. The critical region for testing H0ρ is then given by

(5.2.34)images

5.3 Connectedness in CODWOR

The following definition holds in any multifactor experiment:

A CODWOR with treatments connected is also known as a doubly connected design. The following theorem characterizes this property in terms of the rank of Cτ|ρ,γ:

A chain condition characterizing the connectedness property in a general multifactor design was given by Srivastava and Anderson (1970) and can be specialized for doubly connected designs. However, this condition is not as easy as it is in block designs to apply.

If a CODWOR is doubly connected, by putting γ = 0 identically in the model, it can be easily verified that all the contrasts of treatments effects are estimable if the design eliminates heterogeneity through rows only. Similarly, the contrasts of treatment effects are estimable if the design eliminates heterogeneity through columns only if ρ = 0. In looking at the converse of this problem, Federer and Zelen (1964) conjectured that an equireplicated CODWOR, in which the row design is connected and the column design is connected, is doubly connected. This conjecture was shown to be false by Shah and Khatri (1973) who gave the following counter example:

While the usual method of showing that the design (5.3.4) is not doubly connected rests on calculating Cτ|ρ,γ and showing that its rank is <7, the method adopted by Shah and Khatri provides a useful tool in attempting such problems. In fact, it can be verified that

(5.3.5)images
(5.3.6)images
(5.3.7)images

and images are independent contrasts in error space. Since the design is row-connected and column-connected, each row and column classification carries three degrees of freedom, thereby indicating that the treatments degrees of freedom is at most six showing that the design is not doubly connected.

Raghavarao and Federer (1975) proved the following:

Designs satisfying the assumptions given in Theorem 5.3.2 were shown by K.R. Shah (1977) to have some interesting statistical properties and he called them D0 class designs. While most of the designs of class D0 are quasifactorial, a design of D0 class which is not quasifactorial was given by Raghavarao and Shah (1980). The general method discussed by Rao (1946) can be used to construct quasifactorial designs belonging to the class D0.

Russell (1976) showed that a CODWOR in which MM′ is of the form pIv + qJv,v is always connected.

5.4 Orthogonality in CODWOR

In a multifactor experiment, the orthogonality between two factors is defined as follows:

In a CODWOR, since images, images, and images are linear functions of Qτ|ρ,γ, Qγ|ρ,τ, and Qρ|γ,τ, respectively, Definition 5.4.1 results in Theorem 5.4.1.

Since the two conditions (Eqs. 5.4.4 and 5.4.5) imply the condition (5.4.6), the following theorem is established:

5.5 Latin Square Designs

A Latin square design is an arrangement of v treatments in a v × v square array such that each treatment occurs exactly once in each row and in each column. For v = 4, with treatments A, B, C, and D, the following is a Latin square design:

(5.5.1)images

Latin square design exists for all positive integer values v. A Latin square design can always be used as a CODWOR.

The symbols introduced in the general analysis of Section 5.2 in this case become r = k = b = v, L = Jv,v = M, Cτ|ρ = vIvJv,v = Cτ|γ,

(5.5.2)images

Conditions (Eqs. 5.4.4 and 5.4.5) are obviously satisfied here and in this design rows, columns, and treatment factors are pairwise orthogonal. The solutions of normal equations can be verified to be

(5.5.3)images
(5.5.4)images
(5.5.5)images

The Anova table can be set as in Table 5.5.1.

Columns (or units) v – 1 images MSc MSc/MSe

The F values of Table 5.5.1 can be compared with the tabulated values to test the corresponding hypothesis. The t-statistic

with (v – 1)(v – 2) degrees of freedom can be used to test the null hypothesis

(5.5.7)images

where images is a contrast, against one-sided or two-sided alternatives for any real value a. Using Scheffe’s method, the confidence interval sets on all contrasts {images} are

(5.5.8)images

5.6 Youden Square Design and Generalization

The well-known concept of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD) is required before defining a Youden square design and is given in Definition 5.6.1.

Given a symmetrical BIBD, by using the idea of systems of distinct representatives, we can form a k × v array such that

  1. Every symbol occurs exactly once in each row, and
  2. The columns are the sets of the BIBD,

to get a Youden square design (cf. Raghavarao, 1971, Theorem 6.4.1; Smith and Hartley, 1948).

More formally, we can define a Youden square design as follows:

For this class of designs, k = r, b = v, L = Jv,k, and the incidence matrix M satisfies

(5.6.3)images

where λ = k(k – 1)/(v – 1). After simplification,

(5.6.4)images
(5.6.5)images

and since images, we get

(5.6.6)images

The ith component of Qτ|ρ is the ith adjusted treatment total and is the ith treatment total minus the column means of those columns in which the ith treatment occurs. In this design, the treatments are not orthogonal to the columns and the Anova Table 5.2.1 takes the form given in Table 5.6.1.

Table 5.6.1 Anova table of a Youden square design

Source d.f. S.S. M.S. F
Rows k – 1 images
Columns (el. treat) v – 1 images
Treatments (el. columns) v – 1 images Q′τ|ρ,γ Qτ|ρ,γ MSt MSt/MSe
Error (v – 1)(k – 2) By subtraction MSe
Total vk – 1 images

The null hypothesis of equality of treatment effects can be tested by using the F value of Table 5.6.1 against the appropriate critical value.

If imagesτ is a contrast of the treatments, the null hypothesis

(5.6.7)images

for any real value a, against one-sided or two-sided alternatives can be tested by using the t-statistic

(5.6.8)images

with (v – 1)(k – 2) degrees of freedom. Using Scheffe’s method, the confidence interval sets on all contrasts {images} are

(5.6.9)images

Two generalizations of Youden square designs are considered in the literature. Shrikhande (1951) considered BIBD with v, b = mv, k, λ and by rewriting it in columns such that every treatment occurs m times in each row constructed two-way elimination of heterogeneity designs, which are CODWOR. Such designs can always be constructed, whenever the underlying BIBD exists, by using generalized systems of distinct representatives of Agrawal (1966a–d) and Raghavarao (1971, Theorem 6.5.6). The analysis can be developed on similar lines as Youden square designs discussed earlier. Another extension of Youden square design which became popular as generalized Youden square design (GYD) followed late Professor Jack Kiefer’s work on optimality of designs. To define GYD, we need to know the balanced block designs (BBD) given in the following definition:

where N = (nij) is the incidence matrix. Clearly, N satisfies

(5.6.10)images

where images is the maximum integer in k/v and N1 is the incidence of a BIBD, allowing the trivial possibility of N1 = Ov,b.

Now,

Latin square designs, Youden square designs, and Shrikhande’s generalization of Youden square are all particular cases of the GYD introduced in Definition 5.6.4.

Kiefer (1975a) gave the following example of a GYD with v = 4, k = b = 6:

images

Some of the methods of constructing GYD were given by Kiefer (1975a,b), Ruiz and Seiden (1974), and Seiden and Wu (1978) and will be discussed in Chapter 9. Under very general settings, GYD are known to be optimal designs (see Kiefer, 1975a).

To develop the analysis of GYD, we introduce the following notation:

(5.6.11)images
images

where images is the greatest integer between the open parenthesis and r is the replication of each treatment in the k × b array of the design. We then have

(5.6.12)images
(5.6.13)images
(5.6.14)images

where

(5.6.15)images

and

(5.6.16)images

The solution of the normal equations is

(5.6.17)images

and the analysis can be completed as described in Section 5.2.

Pseudo-Youden designs were also introduced and studied by Cheng (1981).

GYD are clearly balanced for estimating treatment effects in the sense of the following definition:

Clearly, for a CODWOR which is connected and balanced for estimating treatment effects, Cτ|ρ,γ is a complete symmetric matrix.

5.7 F-Squares

Another type of generalization of Latin square design is a F-square design. In the simplest case in a F-square design, the v treatments are arranged in a n × n square array, where n = vm so that every symbol occurs exactly m times in each row and in each column. Here, k = b = n, L = mJv,n, M = mJv,n, ri = mn, and we can easily verify that

(5.7.1)images

and

(5.7.2)images

The analysis can be easily completed. Note that these are also orthogonal designs. In the general case, the ith symbol occurs mi times in each row and each column and images.

Orthogonal F-squares satisfy the property that when one of the two n × n F squares with v treatments is superimposed on the other, the ordered pairs of corresponding entries contain each of the v2 possibilities, m2 times (Hedayat, Sloane, and Stufken, 1999). Further, when n = vm, the maximal number of orthogonal F-squares is bounded by c, where

(5.7.3)images

(Hedayat, Raghavarao, and Seiden, 1975). In particular, when m = 1, the maximal number of orthogonal F-squares is n – 1.

5.8 Lattice Square Designs

The readers of this section are expected to be familiar with factorial experiments. These designs are quasifactorial in k2 treatments, where the treatments are identified with the k2 treatment combinations of a pseudofactorial design in two factors each at k levels. Two classes of lattice square designs are commonly used and they are semibalanced lattice squares and balanced lattice squares.

In a semibalanced lattice square, the k2 treatments are arranged in r = (k + 1)/2 squares each of k rows and k columns such that each of the pseudoeffects and interaction is confounded either with the rows or with the columns in one of the replicates. Clearly, such designs exist if k is an odd prime or prime power. An example of a semibalanced lattice square design with v = 9 is

In design (5.8.1), identify the symbols to pseudofactor levels as 00 → 1, 01 → 2, 02 → 3, 10 → 4, 11 → 5, 12 → 6, 20 → 7, 21 → 8, and 22 → 9.

In a balanced lattice square, the k2 treatments are arranged in k + 1 squares, each of k rows and k columns such that each of the pseudoeffects and interactions is confounded once with rows and once with columns. Clearly, balanced lattice square designs exist when k is a prime or a prime power. An example of a balanced lattice square design with v = 9 identifying the pseudofactors as earlier is

(5.8.2)images

Lattice square designs can be used as CODWOR by identifying the columns of the squares to the homogeneous experimental units. However, these designs are more useful in situations, where the experimental units have to be grouped into homogeneous groups. The analysis of these designs can be done by using the general methods discussed in Section 5.2 by ignoring the squares effects and treating it as a two-way elimination of heterogeneity designs. Alternatively, the pseudofactorial confounding can be exploited to develop the analysis. For further details, the interested reader is referred to Federer (1955, pp. 378–387).

5.9 Analysis of CODWOR when the Units Effects are Random

Often in experiments, the experimental units will be randomly selected from a population of units and the investigator will be interested to draw conclusion on the population of units rather than the limited number of units used in the study. In such cases, it is appropriate to assume that the unit effects γj’s to have images and γj’s to be independently distributed with the errors eij. The model (5.2.2) will become

(5.9.1)images
(5.9.2)images

By calculating the weighted normal equations and simplifying, we get

where images and τ* is the least squares estimate for the model (5.9.1), with other symbols as defined in Section 5.2. Equation (5.9.3) can also be obtained by weighted least squares using

images
(5.9.4)images
images

From standard theory, σ2 will be estimated by MSe and hence, w is estimated by images given by

(5.9.5)images

To estimate images, images given in Equation (5.2.26) which is also known as sum of squares of columns eliminating rows and treatments will be used. Clearly,

(5.9.6)images

Thus, images and w′ are, respectively, estimated by images and images:

(5.9.7)images

and

(5.9.8)images

The contrasts images will then be estimated by images, where τ* is a solution of Equation (5.9.3), with variance

(5.9.9)images

These results will now be specialized for a Youden square design. It may be noted that this analysis cannot be performed for a Latin square design.

For a Youden square design,

(5.9.10)images

and by equating the total sum of squares, we get

(5.9.11)images

Thus,

(5.9.12)images

Equation (5.9.3) will now become

(5.9.13)images

a solution of which is

(5.9.14)images

For further results on the analysis of these designs where rows and/or columns are random, the interested reader is referred to Roy and Shah (1961) and K.R. Shah (1977).

In this section, two examples will be provided to illustrate the analysis with columns as fixed effects and random effects.

From column (a1) of the output, we can infer the significance of the effects of the factors (cars, periods, and additives) by comparing the p-values with the level of significance α = 0.05. In our example, additives have a significant p-value. One can specify the necessary contrast statements of interest in the program. The p-values in the output of column (a2) can be used to test the significance of the contrasts included in the program. With our specification, the contrasts “A vs C” and “A vs D” are significant. Scheffe’s method of multiple comparisons will yield the grouping shown under column (a3) of the output. The additives marked with the same letter are not significant and those marked with different letters are significant. In our example, C and D, D and A, and A and B are not significant.

We will now consider a mixed effects model where the cars are random using PROC MIXED. The following program provides the necessary output for drawing the inferences:

1 1 A 30.4 2 1 B 28.8 3 1 C 33.2 4 1 D 31.6
1 2 B 29.6 2 2 C 34.0 3 2 D 31.5 4 2 A 29.4
1 3 C 33.5 2 3 D 32.1 3 3 A 30.6 4 3 B 28.8
;
proc mixed data = a;
class period additive;
model mileage = period additive;
random car;
estimate 'A vs B' additive 1 -1 0 0;
estimate 'A vs C' additive 1 0 -1 0;
estimate 'A vs D' additive 1 0 0 -1; run;

The p-value given at (b1) is used for testing the treatments effects and in our example the additives are significant. From columns (b2), (b3), and (b4), we can get the effects, standard error, and the p-values for testing the significance of contrasts given in the program. In our example, all the three contrasts are significant.

5.11 Orthogonal Latin Squares

In the example considered in the last section, let the experimenter be interested in the effectiveness of gas additives at different speed levels. In this case, we are adding another factor to the experiment and we can get an orthogonal design based on two Latin squares satisfying the property that every symbol of the first square occurs exactly once with every symbol of the other square on superimposition. For example, for v = 4, the following two Latin squares satisfy this property:

images

Latin squares satisfying this property are called orthogonal Latin squares. A set of Latin squares of order v where every pair of Latin squares are orthogonal, will have a maximum of (v – 1) Latin squares, and such a set of (v – 1) Latin squares is called a complete set of mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS). A pair of orthogonal Latin squares exist for all orders v (≠6) and a complete set of MOLS exist for v, a prime or prime power. For further details, the interested reader is referred to Raghavarao (1971, Chapters 1 and 3). The construction of a complete set of MOLS will be given in Section 9.9.

Let us return back to the example in the last section of gas mileage with gas additive. For illustration, we will consider four additives A, B, C, and D with speed α = 20 mph, β = 45 mph, γ = 55 mph, and δ = 65 mph. The plan given in Table 5.11.1 will be used for the experiment. The plan in the example implies that we use A additive, speed limit α = 20 mph on the first car in the first period; B additive, speed limit δ = 65 mph on the fourth car in the third period; etc.

Table 5.11.1 Gas mileage with gas additives

Cars
Periods 1 2 3 4
1 Aα Bγ Cδ Dβ
2 Bβ Aδ Dγ Cα
3 Cγ Dα Aβ Bδ
4 Dδ Cβ Bα Aγ

Let G be the grand total, Pi be the row sum, Cj be the column sum, images be the images symbol sum of first set, images be the images symbol sum of second set, and Yij be the response in (i, j) cell of a vth-order Latin square. Then, the Anova Table 5.11.2 can be easily obtained.

Inferences can be drawn by using the F statistics of Table 5.11.2.
