Design of Experiments

3 credits · Undergraduate

The aim of the course is to develop the fundamental statistical concepts required for designing efficient experiments to answer real questions. The first main subject is unit variation and control. The basic concepts of replication, blocking and randomization are each examined. The second main subject is treatment questions and structure. The ideas of factorial designs, split-plot and incomplete plot designs are presented. We conclude with a look at response surface methodology.
