Design and Analysis of Experiments, Volume 3 (eBook)

Provides timely applications, modifications, and extensions of
experimental designs for a variety of disciplines



Design and Analysis of Experiments, Volume 3: Special Designs
and Applications continues building upon the philosophical
foundations of experimental design by providing important, modern
applications of experimental design to the many fields that utilize
them. The book also presents optimal and efficient designs for
practice and covers key topics in current statistical research.

Featuring contributions from leading researchers and academics,
the book demonstrates how the presented concepts are used across
various fields from genetics and medicinal and pharmaceutical
research to manufacturing, engineering, and national security. Each
chapter includes an introduction followed by the historical
background as well as in-depth procedures that aid in the
construction and analysis of the discussed designs. Topical
coverage includes:

* Genetic cross experiments, microarray experiments, and variety
trials

* Clinical trials, group-sequential designs, and adaptive
designs

* Fractional factorial and search, choice, and optimal designs for
generalized linear models

* Computer experiments with applications to homeland security

* Robust parameter designs and split-plot type response surface
designs

* Analysis of directional data experiments

Throughout the book, illustrative and numerical examples utilize
SAS®, JMP®, and R software programs to demonstrate the
discussed techniques. Related data sets and software applications
are available on the book's related FTP site.

Design and Analysis of Experiments, Volume 3 is an ideal
textbook for graduate courses in experimental design and also
serves as a practical, hands-on reference for statisticians and
researchers across a wide array of subject areas, including
biological sciences, engineering, medicine, and business.
