note: For the above F Value, the "full" model contains the overall
mean, treatment effect, block1 effect, and block2 effect.  The
"reduced" model contains just the overall mean.

note: Use the Type III F Values to test for significant treatment and
blocking effects.  Here, we see that blocking was helpful for block2
(i.e. operator) while it appears that blocking on batch of raw
material was not necessary.  However, it is common practice to block
on batches of raw material when possible.  Furthermore, note that
there is a significant treatment effect (p-value = 0.0025).  Thus, we
will proceed to the stage II analysis.

              T tests (LSD) for variable: RESPONSE

   NOTE: This test controls the type I comparisonwise error rate 
         not the experimentwise error rate.

               Alpha= 0.05  df= 12  MSE= 10.66667
                    Critical Value of T= 2.18
              Least Significant Difference= 4.5005

   Means with the same letter are not significantly different.

                     C            20.200      5  B

mote: Using the Protected LSD method, we see that treatment
(formulation) B gives a statistically "better" burning rate than the
other formulations, except treatment C.  However, since treatment C is
not different from treatment E I would be inclined to choose treatment
B as the "best" formulation.

data set checkass in the .sas file.  I have "starred" the three
potential outliers appearing in the plots below.  However, these
observations probably are not extreme enough to influence the
analysis.
