Each of the following hypotheses is a different way of saying that a factor or an interaction among factors has no effect on experimental outcomes. This VI assumes that there are no effects and then seeks evidence to contradict this assumption. The following are the three hypotheses:
for all levels p if factor A is fixed, and that
if factor A is random.
for all levels q if factor B is fixed, and that
if factor B is random.
for all levels p and q if both factors A and B are fixed, and that
if either factor A or factor B is random. (This does not apply to model 1. In model 1 there is no interaction, and the associated output parameters are superfluous.)
