Computer Aided Optimal Design. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: STA 6833 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Introduction to obtaining experimental designs and statistical methods for fitting response surfaces, and how to computer-generate the designs and use them in applied settings. Topics discussed include generating designs for obtaining process improvements with steepest ascents and for fitting response surfaces of different shapes, and use of the resultant model diagnostics to find optimum operating conditions. Use is made of JMP and SAS for design generation. This course has Differential Tuition.
