1. Is this a valid Latin Square? (explain)

Yes. In a 5x5 Latin square, each treatment must appear exactly once per row and exactly once per column. Here, every ingredient (A, B, C, D, E) shows up exactly one time in each batch and one time on each day.

  1. Write the model equation

\[y_{ijk} = \mu + \alpha_i + \tau_j + \beta_k + \epsilon_{ijk}\]

Where \(\mu\) is the overall mean, \(\alpha_i\) is the batch effect, \(\tau_j\) is the ingredient effect, \(\beta_k\) is the day effect, and \(\epsilon_{ijk}\) is the random error.

  1. Analyze the data from this experiment
# load data
Batch <- as.factor(rep(1:5, each = 5))
Day <- as.factor(rep(1:5, times = 5))
Ingredient <- as.factor(c("A", "B", "D", "C", "E",
                          "C", "E", "A", "D", "B",
                          "B", "A", "C", "E", "D",
                          "D", "C", "E", "B", "A",
                          "E", "D", "B", "A", "C"))
Time <- c(8, 7, 1, 7, 3,
          11, 2, 7, 3, 8,
          4, 9, 10, 1, 5,
          6, 8, 6, 6, 10,
          4, 2, 3, 8, 8)

df <- data.frame(Batch, Day, Ingredient, Time)

# run anova
model <- aov(Time ~ Batch + Day + Ingredient, data = df)
