Split-Plot Design
The split-plot design is a parametric experimental design that applies one factor to large whole plots and a second factor to subdivisions (sub-plots) within each whole plot. It was introduced by Frank Yates in 1935 to handle agricultural experiments where one factor — such as irrigation or tillage method — is difficult or impractical to change frequently, while a second factor can be varied more easily within the same plot.
