[request_ebook] Introduction to the Design & Analysis of Experiments

Description

Introduction to the Design & Analysis of Experiments introduces readers to the design and analysis of experiments. It is ideal for a one-semester, upper-level undergraduate course for majors in statistics and other mathematical sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. It may also serve appropriate graduate courses in disciplines such as business, health sciences, and social sciences. This book assumes that the reader has completed a two-semester sequence in the application of probability and statistical inference.

• The strong emphasis on design helps students learn to minimize variation of response variables in their experiments, producing more meaningful results with less random error.
• A documentation form at the beginning of the book gives students a detailed checklist so they can develop experiments in a consistent way.
• A graphical approach to the analysis of the sample data imparts a visual understanding of the impending results.
• Detailed, worked-out examples in each chapter illustrate important concepts and methods. Probing and "what if" questions teach students to consider alternative designs to adapt to specific conditions.
• Statistics software is integrated throughout the text to help students develop a conceptual understanding of methods, without getting lost in the mathematical techniques.
• Step-by-step Minitab^® instructions in the appendices show students how to arrive at the results presented in the chapters.
