Direct Known Subclasses:

Factor, Residual

public class Term

extends java.lang.Object

One term in a balanced anova model. A Term is simply the cross of two or more Factors. Any nesting information is contained in the included Factors. Note also that Factor is a subclass of Term, obviating the extra work of constructing Terms for main effects (or purely nested effects, for that matter).
