This paper deals with two-factor experiments with split units. The whole plot treatments occur in a repeated Latin square, modified Latin square or Youden square, while subplot treatments occur in a block design within the whole plots. The statistical properties of the considered designs are examined. Special attention is paid to the case where one of the treatments is an individual control or an individual standard treatment. In addition, we give a brief overview of work on the design of experiments...

We try to show that Discriminant Analysis can be considered as a branch of Statistical Decision Theory when viewed from a Bayesian approach. First we present the necessary measure theory results, next we briefly outline the foundations of Bayesian Inference before developing Discriminant Analysis as an application of Bayesian Estimation. Our approach renders Discriminant Analysis more flexible since it gives the possibility of classing an element as belonging to a group of populations. This possibility...
