// A Cell object represents the data in a cell of the model,
// i.e. the data related to one combination of levels of each factor.

    (anova.Cells.Get("Red", "Rectangle").Variance)
printfn ""
        
// The RowTotals and ColumnTotals properties permits us to 
// summarize the data over all levels of a factor. For example, 
// to get the means of the shape groups, we use:
let shapeFactor = anova.GetFactor<string>(1)
for level in shapeFactor do
    printfn "Mean for group '%O': %.4f" level (anova.ColumnTotals.Get(level).Mean)

// We can get the summary data for the entire model 
// by using the TotalCell property.
