treatments • Number of
strata • Number of
units per stratum [The number of units per stratum must be
equal or greater than the number of treatments] |

WITHIN-SUBJECTS
DESIGNS (Repeated Measures Designs) |
|||
Complete Counterbalancing |
|||
CC2.sps
– 2 treatments (2 sequences) |
• Number of
units per sequence |
||
CC3.sps
– 3 treatments (6 sequences) |
|||
CC4.sps
– 4 treatments (24 sequences) |
|||
CC5.sps
– 5 treatments (120 sequences) |
|||
CC6.sps
– 6 treatments (720 sequences) |
|||
Partial Counterbalancing
(Latin Squares) |
|||
LS2.sps
– 2 treatments (2 sequences) Identical to CC2 (n per sequence = 1) |
No user specifications. The programs produce
automatically a random |
||
LS3.sps
– 3 treatments (3 sequences) |
|||
LS4.sps
– 4 treatments (4 sequences) |
|||
LS5.sps
– 5 treatments (5 sequences) |
The user must read in the Output Window the
last random permutation produced in
STEP 1 and introduce this permutation in the corresponding syntax line of
STEP 2. |
||
LS6.sps
– 6 treatments (6 sequences) |
|||
LS7.sps
– 7 treatments (7 sequences) |
|||
LS8.sps
– 8 treatments (8 sequences) |
|||
LS9.sps
– 9 treatments (9 sequences) |
|||
LS10.sps
– 10 treatments (10 sequences) |
|||
LS11.sps
– 11 treatments (11 sequences) |
|||
LS12.sps
– 12 treatments (12 sequences) |
|||
Carryover Designs
CO2.sps – 2
treatments /2 sequences (Single carryover design) Identical to CC2 (n per sequence = 1) and LS2 |
No user specifications. The programs produce automatically
a random Carryover Design. |
CO3.sps – 3
treatments /6 sequences (Double carryover design) Identical to CC3 (n per sequence = 1) |
|
CO4.sps – 4 treatments
/4 sequences (Single carryover design) |
|
CO5.sps – 5
treatments /10 sequences (Double carryover design) |
The user must read in the Output Window the
last random permutation produced in
STEP 1 and introduce this permutation in the corresponding syntax line of
STEP 2. |
CO6.sps – 6
treatments /6 sequences (Single carryover design) |
|
CO7.sps – 7
treatments /14 sequences (Double carryover design) |
|
CO8.sps – 8
treatments /8 sequences (Single carryover design) |
|
CO9.sps – 9
treatments /18 sequences (Double carryover design) |
|
CO10.sps – 10
treatments /10 sequences (Single carryover design) |
|
CO11.sps – 11
treatments /22 sequences (Double carryover design) |
|
CO12.sps – 12
treatments /12 sequences (Single carryover design) |
Truncated Counterbalancing and
Random Ordering of Treatments
The user
must add the following syntax line N
of cases ?. to CC, LQ,
or CO designs. |
|
IndRO.sps – Random
Ordering of Treatments |
• Number of
treatments • Number of
units per study |
