Completely Randomized Design with subsampling

02Smeth1

Subsampling experiments promote efficient use of space and materials, and measures variability among observational units. They are most efficient when there is much variation in response among explants and little outside variation.

02Smeth2

The design is not efficient when there is little variation among explants or when there is a high degree of variability from some other identifiable source. This is because it reduces the df for experimental error which means that a higher F-value is required to detect significant differences among treatments. If there is a little variation among experiments, a CRD without subsampling should be used. If variation from an identifiable source exists, a RCBD with subsampling should be used.

Subsampling
Often multiple observations are collected on an experimental unit.
For example, you may have four plants in a single pot each receiving the same treatment. The experimental unit for treatment comparisons being the pot of four plants.

However, if you are interested in plant height you may measure the height of each of the plants within the pot. You would then have four sampling units per experimental unit.

02Smeth4

The main reason for having multiple sampling units per experimental unit is cost. That is the cost for measuring all four plants in each pot is small compared to the cost of measuring a single plant in four times as many pots.

02Smeth5

It is very important to note that subsampling does not increase the number of replications. That is in terms of treatment comparisons you might as well analyze the average height of the four plants. The number of replications is still the number of EXPERIMENTAL UNITS per TREATMENT, not the number of observations per treatment.

02Smeth6

Replications of treatments are assigned completely at random to independent groups of experimental subjects, such as adjacent trees, plants within the same pot or leaves on the same tree. Adjacent groups could potentially have the same treatment. A group of experimental subjects is considered a single independent experimental unit.

02Smeth7

Large EU make subsampling a necessity. In other experiments, the researcher may introduce subsampling in order to study the within variability. Knowledge of this variation may be of value in future research experiments.

Sample layout:
There are 4 replications (1-4) of 3 treatments (A-C) with 3 subsamples (a-c) per replication. Different colors represent different treatments.
