What are factorial designs in research?

Factorial designs are experimental setups that evaluate multiple factors simultaneously to understand their effects.

Can you explain how a 2x2 factorial design works?

Sure! A 2x2 factorial design involves two factors, each with two levels, allowing for four unique combinations.

What are the advantages of using factorial designs?

They allow for the examination of interactions between factors and are more efficient than testing one factor at a time.

Are there any limitations to factorial designs?

Yes, they can become complex with many factors, and require a larger sample size to maintain statistical power.
