Latin Square Design

A Latin Square Design is an experimental setup used to control for two sources of variability, such as different subjects and different conditions. It arranges treatments in a grid format where each treatment appears exactly once in each row and each column. This structure ensures that the effects of row and column factors are minimized, allowing a clearer assessment of the treatment effects themselves. It’s commonly used in agricultural, industrial, or medical research to improve the accuracy of results when experiments involve multiple variables that could influence outcomes.
