Hello,
I have one replication (r=1 of the 2^k*r) of a 2^k experimental design in the
context of performance analysis i.e. my response variables are Throughput and
Response Time. I use the "aov" function and the results look ok:
> str(throughput)
'data.frame': 286 obs. of 7 variables:
$ Time : int 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ...
$ Throughput : int 42 44 33 41 43 40 37 40 42 37 ...
$ No_databases : Factor w/ 2 levels "1","4": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ Partitioning : Factor w/ 2 levels "sharding","replication": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 ...
$ No_middlewares: Factor w/ 2 levels "2","4": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ Queue_size : Factor w/ 2 levels "40","100": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ No_clients : Factor w/ 1 level "128": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

This is somehow what I expected and I am happy, it is saying that the
Throughput is significatively affected firstly by the number of database
instances and secondly by the number of middleware instances.
The problem is that I need to integrate multiple replications of this same 2^k
so I can also account for experimental error i.e. the _r_ of 2^k*r but I can't
see how to integrate the _r_ term into the data and into the aov function
parameters. Can anyone advice?
TIA,
Best regards,
Giovanni
