Description: The design and analysis of experiments is an essential part of investigation and discovery in science, of process and product improvement in manufacturing, and of comparison of competing protocols or treatments in the applied sciences. This book offers a step-by-step guide to the experimental planning process and the ensuing analysis of normally distributed data.

Particular emphases of Design and Analysis of Experiments include the practical considerations governing the design of an experiment based on the objectives of the study and a solid statistical foundation for the analysis. Almost all data sets in the book have been obtained from real experiments, either run by students in statistics and the applied sciences, or published in the scientific literature. Details of the planning stage of numerous different experiments are discussed.

The statistical analysis of experimental data is based on estimable functions and is developed with some care.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [725]-730) and indexes.
