Causal inference from possibly unbalanced split-plot designs: a randomization-based perspective
From MaRDI portal
Publication:5067436
Abstract: Split-plot designs find wide applicability in multifactor experiments with randomization restrictions. Practical considerations often warrant the use of unbalanced designs. This paper investigates randomization based causal inference in split-plot designs that are possibly unbalanced. Extension of ideas from the recently studied balanced case yields an expression for the sampling variance of a treatment contrast estimator as well as a conservative estimator of the sampling variance. However, the bias of this variance estimator does not vanish even when the treatment effects are strictly additive. A careful and involved matrix analysis is employed to overcome this difficulty, resulting in a new variance estimator, which becomes unbiased under milder conditions. A construction procedure that generates such an estimator with minimax bias is proposed.
