Hello,
We've got an experiment which involved temperature monitoring of 12 chickens. Sampling rate of the temperature sensor was 25Hz.
Chickens were divided into 4 groups, 3 chickens per group. We tested 4 stressors A,B,C,D in each group on 4 consecutive testing days, but always in a different fashion. The data I will be working with is the normalized temperature data 1h prior and 1h post stressor induction.
The protocol was a fourth order latin square design:
Group 1 received A,B,C,D on 4 consecutive testing days (so day1:A, day2:B, day3:C, day4: D )
Group 2 received D,A,B,C on 4 consecutive testing days.
Group 3 received C,D,A,B on 4 consecutive testing days.
Group 4 received B,C,D,A on 4 consecutive testing days.
I am looking for a statistical method to get as much as possible information out of this conducted experiment. Difference between groups, differences within groups, is there something else I could do/conclude using this design? I do have some minor background in statistics and experimental design, but can anyone help me looking for some resources or suggest some methods/papers I should look into?
Thank you!
