We now sweep out these values from the plot values in the corresponding blocks (note that we are sometimes subtracting negative numbers, e.g. -23 -(-22) = : 62 -(-22) = +84 ) Mean -28 -1 +41 +4 +92 +84 +106 +94 -8 +24 -84 -23 -48 +29 -79 -33 -78 -146 +11 -71 +17 -6 -4 +2 +67 +14 -34 +16 -13 -1 +46 +11 The sum of squares of these residuals = 82293, and the change from the total SS is the block sum of squares = 7658. Finally we calculate the means for each treatment as shown above and sweep these from the residuals to give the final residuals: -32 -5 +37 -2 -10 +12 +15 +47 -61 -15 +62 -46 -7 -75 +82 +15 -8 -6 +51 -2 -50 -24 -12 +35 Notice that because we have swept out the effects of blocks and treatments the block and treatment totals of these residuals are all zero (apart from rounding error). The sum of these final residuals is the error SS = 34779. and the change from the previous sum of squares is the Treatment sum of squares = 47514
