Orthogonality

Orthogonality

Orthogonality exists when the condition Sficicj=0 and Sfici=0 for each equation.

fi 9/16 3/16 3/16 1/16
c1 1 1 -3 -3
c2 1 -3 1 -3
c3 1 -3 -3 9

First to show that Sfici = 0:

Sfici when i = 1 9/16(1) + 3/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 1/16(-3) = 0
Sfici when i = 2 9/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 3/16(1) + 1/16(-3) = 0
Sfici when i = 3 9/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 3/16(-3) + 1/16(9) = 0

Now to show that SSficicj = 0

i=1, j=2 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(1)(-3) + 3/16(-3)(1)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(-3) = 0

i=1, j=3 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(1)(-3) + 3/16(-3)(-3)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(9) = 0

i=2, j=3 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(-3)(-3) + 3/16(1)(-3)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(9) = 0

** The concept of orthogonal tests of hypothesis is that each test 'stands alone' and the results of one test does not influence another test.

X = (a + a - 3a - 3a)
                  3n

X = (a - 3a + a - 3a)
                   3n

XL = (a - 3a -3a + 9a)
                   9n
