Experimental Design

Catalog description

This class covers the design and analysis of experiments. We will focus on the design of the experiment to avoid problems that arise at the analysis stage with examples in engineering and manufacturing. Topics include the role of statistics in scientific experimentation; general principles of design, including randomization, replication, and blocking; completely randomized designs, randomized complete block designs, general factorial designs, split-plot designs, random vs. fixed effects, and mixed models. Students can receive credit for only one of the following: RMET-740 , CQAS-670, or STAT-670 .
