Question

In Statistics, is Blocking Design possible for this problem? :)

Answer 1

Is it possible to design a blocking design for this situation:

A study was undertaken to assess the effect of sheer size of a portfolio (leaving out all other effects, such as degree of diversification) on abnormal performance, that is, performance of a stock portfolio that is above what one can expect based on the stock market as a whole. In a four-factor design based on portfolio size for well- diversified portfolios, with 240 data points, the F statistic was significant at the 1% level of significance. Explain

Answer 2

what do you think? do you know what blocking design is?
