Abstract

If only fixed effects exist in a 4 $\times$ 4 balanced incomplete block design, powers of FR statistic for testing a main effect show the highest level with a few replications. Under the exponential and double exponential distributions, FR statistic shows relatively high powers with big differences as compared with the F statistic. Further in a traditional balanced incomplete block design, powers of FR statistic having a fixed main effect and a random block effect show superior preference for all situations without regard to the effect size of a main effect, the parameter size and the type of population distributions of a block effect. Powers of FR statistic increase in a high speed as replications increase. Overall power preference of FR statistic for testing a main effect is caused by unique characteristic of a balanced incomplete block design having one main and block effect with missing observations, which sensitively responds to small increase of main effect and sample size.

4 $\times$ 4 균형불완전블럭모형에서 고정효과만이 존재하는 경우 주효과를 검정하기 위한 순위변환 통계량의 검정력은 적은 반복수에도 가장 높은 수준을 유지하며, 지수분포와 이중지수분포하에서는 모수적 통계량의 검정력보다 큰 격차의 상대적 우위를 보인다. 특히 전형적인 균형불완전블럭모형하에서 주인자는 고정이며 블럭인자는 랜덤인 경우의 순위변환 통계량의 검정력은 주효과의 효과크기 및 블럭효과의 모집단 분포와 모수크기에 상관없이 모든 상황에 걸쳐 현저하게 높은 우위성를 보인다. 또한 반복수가 증가함에따라 순위변환 통계량의 검정력은 빠른 속도로 증가한다. 전체적인 주효과의 순위변환 통계량의 검정력 우위는 하나의 주효과 및 블럭효과와 결측값이 존재하는 균형불완전블럭모형의 고유특성으로 말미암아 고정효과 및 표본의 작은 크기변화에 민감하게 반응하며 상대적 검정력 우위를 갖는다고 볼 수 있다.
