Document Summary
Increasing the number of levels of the independent varaible. Experimentals with 2 or more independent varaibles: factorial designs. Simple designs: designs involving one independent variable with two levels. As levels are added to the first independent variable, or as additional independent variables are added to the design, complexity increases. The main shortcoming of simple designs is that only simple linear relationships can be shown. The easiest way to increase the info yield from an experiment is to increase the number of levels of the independent variable. Another way to increase the complexity of an experiment is to include additional independent variables in the design. An experiment that has two or more independent variables often is said to have a factorial design. The goal of factorial designs is to explore how two or more independent variables act alone and in concert.
