Orthogonality

Orthogonality exists when the condition Sicicj=0 and Sici=0 for each equation.

i 9/16   3/16   3/16   1/16
c1 1   1 - 3 - 3
c2 1 - 3   1 - 3
c3 1 - 3 - 3   9

First to show that Sici = 0:

Sici when i  = 1 9/16(1) + 3/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 1/16(-3) = 0
i  = 2 9/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 3/16(1) + 1/16(-3) = 0
i  = 3 9/16(1) + 3/16(-3) + 3/16(-3) + 1/16(9) = 0

 Now to show that SSicicj = 0

i=1, j=2 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(1)(-3) + 3/16(-3)(1)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(-3) = 0

i=1, j=3 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(1)(-3) + 3/16(-3)(-3)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(9) = 0

i=2, j=3 (9/16)(1)(1) + 3/16(-3)(-3) + 3/16(1)(-3)
                                          + 1/16(-3)(9) = 0

** The concept of orthogonal tests of hypothesis is that each test 'stands alone' and the results of one test does not influence another test.

X2A = (a1 + a2 - 3a3 - 3a4)2
3n

X2B = (a1 - 3a2 + a3 - 3a4)2
3n

X2L = (a1 - 3a2 -3a3 + 9a4)2
9n
