technology and computing programming languagesWhat is a complete factorial design?
Also asked, what is meant by full factorial design?
In statistics, a full factorial experiment is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or "levels", and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors.
One may also ask, what are levels in factorial design?
In factorial designs, a factor is a major independent variable. In this example we have two factors: time in instruction and setting. A level is a subdivision of a factor. In this example, time in instruction has two levels and setting has two levels. Sometimes we depict a factorial design with a numbering notation.
Numbering Notation. -number of numbers refers to total number of factors in design 2x2 = 2 factors. 2x2x2 = 3 factors. -the number values refer to the number of levels of each factor; 3x4 = 2 factors, one with 3 levels and one with 4 levels.
