JEROME C. R. Li AND KENNETH R. K.ELLER SERIAL correlation, a method for testing the randomness of a set of data, has received recent attention by a number of workers (1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). These investigations have been limited, in general, to the mathematical aspects. Anderson (2) and Wald (14) suggested some uses of serial correlation but failed to mention its application in experimental field trials. Anderson (1), however, did suspect that some aspect of the serial correlation problem might be applied to such problems as those of competition in field crop experiments. The purpose of this investigation is to suggest to agricultural research workers an application of serial correlation.
