Definitions:

Mean Square Error (MSE)

MSE is a measure of the quality of an estimator—it is always non-negative, and values closer to zero are better. It is the average of the squares of the errors or deviations—that is, the difference between the estimator and what is estimated.

Mean Square Treatments (MST)

A measure used in analysis of variance (ANOVA) to evaluate the variance within treatment groups, helping to identify whether differences between groups are statistically significant.

Test Statistic

A statistic calculated from sample data, used to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing.

Within-treatments Variation

The variability among experimental units that are exposed to the same level of treatment in an experiment.
