Design of Experiments

Offering deep insight into the connections between design choice and the resulting statistical analysis, this text explores how experiments are designed using the language of linear statistical models. It presents an organized framework for understanding the statistical aspects of experimental design as a whole within the structure provided by general linear models. The text describes specific forms or classes of experimental designs, incorporates actual experiments drawn from the scientific and technical literature, and includes many end-of-chapter exercises. Calculations are performed using R, with commands provided in an appendix. A solutions manual is available upon qualified course adoption.
