Perform the diagnostic tests on the BIBD model in Example 13.4.4.

In Example 13.4.4

For a chemical reaction experiment, the blocks arise due to the Batch number, Catalyst of different types from the treatments, and the reaction time is the output. Due to a restriction, all the catalysts cannot be analysed within each batch and hence we need to look at the BIBD model. Using the BIB. test function from the agricolae package, a summary of the ANOVA model related to the BIBD model is obtained.

The computed ANOVA table shows that both the catalyst and the batch have a significant effect on the reaction of the units.
