Design of Experiments

Catalog description

In this course we discuss proper design and analysis of experiments, including the role of randomization, selecting sample sizes, and allocating treatments to experimental units. Designs covered include completely randomized designs, designs with factorial treatment structure, random and mixed effects designs, complete and incomplete blocked designs, Latin squares, confounding, split plots, fractional factorials, and response surfaces. Examples and exercises are taken from a broad range of subject areas. Appropriate computer programs are used for analysis of real data sets.
