Definition:One-Way Classification

Definition

One-way classification is the simplest analysis of variance technique, in which treatments are allocated randomly to experimental units.

Examples

Arbitrary Example

This is an example of the use of one-way classification:

$3$ treatments $A$, $B$ and $C$ may be allocated to $13$ experimental units.

$5$ of those experimental units are chosen at random to receive treatment $A$

$4$ of those experimental units are chosen at random to receive treatment $B$

$4$ of those experimental units are chosen at random to receive treatment $C$.
