Abstract

A test of the significance of a row or column agent in an analysis of variance may be expressed in the form of correlation between the agent and the variate. A test of the significance of interaction variance may be expressed in the form of correlation between the agents. These expressions are principally of theoretical interest in that the degree of significance in an F test or the value of a correlation coefficient may be controlled at will, or inadvertently, within certain limits.
