Modern Experimental Design

A complete and well-balanced introduction to modern experimental designUsing current research and discussion of the topic along with clear applications, Modern Experimental Designhighlights the guiding role of statistical principles in experimental design construction. This text can serve as both an applied introduction as well as a concise review of the essential types of experimental designs and their applications.Topical coverage includes designs containing one or multiple factors, designs with at least one blocking factor, split-unit designs and their variations as well as supersaturated and Plackett-Burman designs. In addition, the text contains extensive treatment of:Conditional effects analysis as a proposed general method of analysisMultiresponse optimizationSpace-filling designs, including Latin hypercube and uniform designsRestricted regions of operability and debarred observationsAnalysis of Means (ANOM) used to analyze data from various types of designsThe application of available software, including Design-Expert, JMP, and MINITABThis text provides thorough coverage of the topic while also introducing the reader to new approaches. Using a large number of references with detailed analyses of datasets, Modern Experimental Designworks as a well-rounded learning tool for beginners as well as a valuable resource for practitioners.
