The outgrowth of more than 40 years of experience teaching and consulting with students and active researchers in many disciplines, this is a useful guide for both students and active researchers to experimental design. Researchers will find it an invaluable handbook that encapsulates the past 25 years of developments and new techniques for planning and designing experiments. The book also serves as a carefully-crafted text for a second year course in experimental design.
At once a comprehensive handbook for the active researcher and a thorough introduction for the advanced student, this reference provides:
_ Coverage of wide range of applications, including agricultural sciences, animal and biomedi-cal sciences, and industrial and engineering studies
_ Information on new developments in the design of fractional factorials with non-prime numbers of levels in mixed-level fractional factorials
_ Detailed information on the construction of plans and the relationships among categories of designs
_ Thorough discussion of balanced, partially balanced, lattice, cyclic and alpha-designs
_ Accommodations for how to evaluate the power and efficiency of designs that are not perfectly balanced
_ Unified and simplified presentation of general forms for estimation and hypothesis testing
