In ANOVA, if the mean square value of a factor is less than or equal to the error mean square, it will be treated as the error term, and F value will not be calculated, where “” means very significant ,” means significant 0.01 ≤ ,” means relatively significant 0.05 ≤ , and “O” means that 0.1 ≤  has a certain influence.
