Table 6 Response table for the orthogonal array L8 (27). The average effect of each factor level is calculated and the range of effect of each factor is calculated as the difference between the two readings. The range of MCSF effect, for example = 64.02-59.48 = 4.53, the higher the range the stronger the effect of the factor. In this experiment the interaction between MCSF and GCSF had the strongest effect on the survival of cells.
