Profile: a computer program for displaying the geometric relationships of the responses in a factorial design

Informally Refereed

Abstract

One procedure in analyzing the responses to factors in an experiment is to construct profiles of the means. Profiles are plots of the sample means of each level of one factor at each level of one or more of the other factors in the experiment. The construction of these profiles and tests of hypotheses about the mean responses is called profile analysis. This paper discusses profile analysis and presents a computer program which produces profiles of the experimental means.
