A statistical test is developed based on the comparison of sums of squared errors associated with two competing models. A model based on cell means is compared to a representation that specifies the means for the treatment conditions. Comparing models is more general than the traditional H0 in analysis of variance wherein all the cell means are assumed equal. The test statistic, Proportional Increase in Error, is computed using the SAS statistical system.
