Effective Experimentation is a practical book on how to
design and analyse experiments. Each of the methods are introduced
and illustrated through real world scenario drawn from industry or
research. Formulae are kept to a minimum to enable the reader to
concentrate on how to apply and understand the different methods
presented.
The book has been developed from courses run by Statistics
for Industry Limited during which time more than 10, 000
scientists and technologists have gained the knowledge and
confidence to plan experiments successfully and to analyse their
data. Each chapter starts with an example of a design obtained from
the authors’ experience. Statistical methods for analysing
data are introduced, followed, where appropriate, by a discussion
of the assumptions of the method and effectiveness and limitations
of the design.
The examples have been chosen from many industries including
chemicals, oils, building materials, textiles, food, drink,
lighting, water, pharmaceuticals, electronics, paint, toiletries
and petfoods.
This book is a valuable resource for researchers and industrial
statisticians involved in designing experiments.
Postgraduates studying statistics, engineering and mathematics will
also find this book of interest.
