Replication is defined as follows:

Let there be nj (>1) replications at the jth replicated point. Then the degrees of freedom for replication are

and Lack of fit is given by n - p - degrees of freedom for replication.

Note that replication exists where two rows of X are identical. In regular designs the factor levels are clearly spaced and the concept of replication is unambiguous. However, in some situations spacing can be less clear, so a tolerance is imposed of 0.005 (coded units) in all factors. Points must fall within this tolerance to be considered replicated.
