Line 2:

A naive [[design of experiments]] involving the testing of [[factor]]s, or causes, one at a time instead of all simultaneously. [[Ronald Fisher|Sir Ronald A. Fisher]] showed that the effects of factors can be more efficiently estimated (i.e. with a smaller sample size for the same accuracy) if they are all measured simultaneously. Furthermore, the effects of [[interactions]] between factors can only be explored and estimated when factors are measured simultaneously.
