Spatial Model - Regular Grid
See Also
This menu provides facilities for the analysis of two-dimensional data in the form of a regular rectangular grid using the method of residual maximum likelihood (REML), which is also sometimes called restricted maximum likelihood. The data should be supplied in a single variate with factors to specify the rows and columns of the rectangular grid. There should be exactly 1 observation for each point on the grid.

Data

Specifies a variate containing the data values.

Row Factor

A factor specifying the rows in the regular grid.

Row-Model

Lists the available correlation models. Select the correlation model that you want to apply across rows of the grid.

Random row term

Specifies whether you want to fit a random row effect in addition to the row model.

Linear trend across rows

Specifies whether you want to fit a linear trend across rows.

Column Factor

A factor specifying the columns in the regular grid.

Column-Model

Lists the available correlation models. Select the correlation model that you want to apply across columns of the grid.

Random column term

Specifies whether you want to fit a random column effect in addition to the column model.

Linear trend across columns

Specifies whether you want to fit a linear trend across columns.

Fixed Model

The fixed model describes imposed treatment factors and covariates for which the effect of specified levels or values are of interest. The model is described using a formula, which can combine main effects and interactions of factors and also covariates.

Random Model

The random model is generally used to describe those factors for which the values present in an experiment can be considered drawn from some large homogeneous population. The model is described using a formula, which can combine main effects and interactions of factors and also covariates.

Available Data

This lists data structures appropriate to the current input field. The contents will change as you move from one field to the next. Double-click on a name to copy it to the current input field; alternatively, you can type in the name directly.

Operators

This provides a quick way of entering operators in the fixed and random model formulas. Double-click on the required symbol to copy it to the current input field. You can also type in operators directly. See Operators in model formulae for a description of each.
