Yij is any observation for which X1 = i and X2 = j X1 is the primary factor X2 is the blocking factor μ is the general location parameter (i.e., the mean) Ti is the effect for being in treatment i (of factor X1) Bj is the effect for being in block j (of factor X2)

=== Estimates === Estimate for μ :

        Y
        ¯
      
    
  

{\displaystyle {\overline {Y}}}

= the average of all the data Estimate for Ti :

          Y
          ¯
        
      
      
        i
        ⋅
      
    
    
    
      
        Y
        ¯
      
    
  

{\displaystyle {\overline {Y}}_{i\cdot }-{\overline {Y}}}

with

          Y
          ¯
        
      
      
        i
        ⋅
      
    
  

{\displaystyle {\overline {Y}}_{i\cdot }}

= average of all Y for which X1 = i. Estimate for Bj :

          Y
          ¯
        
      
      
        ⋅
        j
      
    
    
    
      
        Y
        ¯
      
    
  

{\displaystyle {\overline {Y}}_{\cdot j}-{\overline {Y}}}

with

          Y
          ¯
        
      
      
        ⋅
        j
      
    
  

{\displaystyle {\overline {Y}}_{\cdot j}}

= average of all Y for which X2 = j.

=== Generalizations === Generalized randomized block designs (GRBD) allow tests of blocktreatment interaction, and has exactly one blocking factor like the RCBD. Latin squares (and other rowcolumn designs) have two blocking factors that are believed to have no interaction. Latin hypercube sampling Graeco-Latin squares Hyper-Graeco-Latin square designs
