I am in charge of our variety trial testing system which evaluates
hybrids from seed companies prior to their being grown by our commercial
growers. We collect data from 7 or 8 locations for a commercial growing
region of about 200 miles by 50 miles. We have utilized lattice field
designs for a number of years in an attempt to reduce environmental
error effects on our evaluations. I believe we use fairly straight
forward classical statistical analysis for our data analysis.

Bill, if I may ask, what type of work does this/your organization do?
I ask
because we do lots of survey research as well as data analysis in my
group.
This issue of de-normalized data f/the researchers vs normalized data
f/acquisition (interviewing/data-entry) is one we haven't had to cross
yet,
but the time is drawing nigh. We use SPSS f/the most part, but we also
use
SAS. I have a G/A who's pretty well-versed there, so I can bounce the
Q off
her.
I'll be watching this thread closely.
Later,
Steve in Memphis
