RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY AND COMPUTER EXPERIMENTS.

Catalog description

Empirical model building and process optimization using experimental design and statistical modeling. The first half of the course covers first and second order models and designs, multiresponse experiments and mixture experiments. The second half introduces designs based on Latin hypercubes, orthogonal arrays, and number-based theoretic methods, plus models using kriging, multivariate adaptive regression splines and neural networks.
