technology and computing programming languagesWhat is 2 level factorial design?
Also asked, what is a 2x2 factorial design?
A 2x2 factorial design is a trial design meant to be able to more efficiently test two interventions in one sample. That being said, the two-way ANOVA is a great way of analyzing a 2x2 factorial design, since you will get results on the main effects as well as any interaction between the effects.
Correspondingly, how many conditions are in a 2x2 factorial design?
2x2 = There are two IVS, the first IV has two levels, the second IV has 2 levels. There are a total of 4 conditions, 2x2 = 4.
Essentially, the name of a factorial design depends on the levels of the independent variables. The first number is how many levels (or values) there are of the first factor, and the second number is how many levels there are of the second factor.
