Design and Analysis of Experiments

Description

This book offers a step-by-step guide to the experimental planning process and the ensuing analysis of normally distributed data, emphasizing the practical considerations governing the design of an experiment. Data sets are taken from real experiments and sample SAS programs are included with each chapter. Experimental design is an essential part of investigation and discovery in science; this book will serve as a modern and comprehensive reference to the subject Front Matter....Pages i-xxv Principles and Techniques....Pages 1-5 Planning Experiments....Pages 7-30 Designs with One Source of Variation....Pages 31-68 Inferences for Contrasts and Treatment Means....Pages 69-102 Checking Model Assumptions....Pages 103-137 Experiments with Two Crossed Treatment Factors....Pages 139-200 Several Crossed Treatment Factors....Pages 201-247 Polynomial Regression....Pages 249-284 Analysis of Covariance....Pages 285-304 Complete Block Designs....Pages 305-347 Incomplete Block Designs....Pages 349-397 Designs with Two Blocking Factors....Pages 399-431 Confounded Two-Level Factorial Experiments....Pages 433-472 Confounding in General Factorial Experiments....Pages 473-493 Fractional Factorial Experiments....Pages 495-564 Response Surface Methodology....Pages 565-614 Random Effects and Variance Components....Pages 615-669 Nested Models....Pages 671-701 Split-Plot Designs....Pages 703-764 Computer Experiments....Pages 765-791 Back Matter....Pages 793-840
