It covers the essentials of experimental design used by applied researchers in solving problems in the field. It is appropriate for a variety of experimental methods courses found in engineering and statistics departments.
Students learn to use applied statistics for planning, running, and analyzing as an experiment.
Students learn to use applied statistics for planning, running, and analyzing an experiment. About 60 new problems have been added for this edition. There is extensive coverage of the analysis of residuals, the concepts of resolution in fractional replications, the Plackett-Burman designs, and Taguchi techniques. The book is written for anyone engaged in experimental work who has a good background in statistical inference.
