0 the product of (= the result of multiplying) a whole number and all the whole numbers below it: --
Four factorial (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) is 24.
The factorial of five (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) is 120.
1 relating to a factor (= a fact or situation that influences a result): --
an experiment with a factorial design (= with two or more factors)
2 relating to factorials: --
The number is calculated as a multiplication 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6=720, or expressed in factorial mathematics: 6!=720.
More generally, the main result of the basic factorial typology is maintained even now that metathesis candidates are included in the candidate set.
The schematic factorial typology in (11) illustrates the interaction (jagged lines between columns indicate that all rankings are to be considered).
As a justification for this, recall that trials may comprise factorial combinations of geographic locations and years.
Factorial designs would compare "manipulative," "colic," and "honest" (pain or hunger) cries.
This makes no asymptotic difference to the factorial moments, and thus the same conclusion holds.
Analyzing unreplicated factorial experiments: a review with some new proposals (with discussion).
Where possible, a factorial design was used, as is indicated in the text.
When two or more independent variables (treatment conditions) are manipulated at the same time, we are dealing with factorial experiments.
