An overview of design of experiments (Q1915111): Difference between revisions

The topic of statistical design of experiments could well have an entire encyclopedia devoted to it. In our relatively few pages, we discuss some important areas and concepts, and provide references for further reading. These references will, in their turn, lead the reader further into his/her selected areas, and thus enlarge the scope of what we have provided here. We have divided our material into these sections: 1. Some historical comments on experimental design. 2. Response surface designs. 3. Mixtures experiment designs. 4. Designs for industrial quality improvement. 5. Block designs. 6. Neighbor designs. 7. Designs for agricultural experiments and biometry. 8. Optimality of designs. 9. Design algorithms.
