Statistical Design and Analysis of Experiments

Emphasizes the strategy of experimentation, data analysis, and theinterpretation of experimental results.* Features numerous examples using actual engineering andscientific studies.* Presents statistics as an integral component of experimentationfrom the planning stage to the presentation of theconclusions.* Deep and concentrated experimental design coverage, withequivalent but separate emphasis on the analysis of data from thevarious designs.* Topics can be implemented by practitioners and do not require ahigh level of training in statistics.* New edition includes new and updated material and computeroutput.
