Abstract
If an experiment possesses the property of orthogonal block structure, the information contained in the experimental observations can be divided into uncorrelated parts represented by separate stratum submodels. The paper shows that this property is sufficient to obtain the results identical with those established by Nelder (J R Stat Soc Ser B 30:303–311, 1968) under the additional property of general balance. The approach proposed here is direct, quite general, and mainly geometrical.
