Textbook: “Experiments: Planning, Analysis and Parameter Design Optimization” (by C.F. Jeff Wu and Michael S. Hamada), second edition, 2009, John Wiley.

 

Course Objectives:

To be able to plan an experiment in such a way that the statistical analysis results in valid and objective conclusions. To learn a variety of experimental designs and be able to choose an optimal design for a specific experiment. To be able to perform the proper statistical analysis and draw valid conclusions from a specific experiment.

 

Topics:

 

Basic principles and introduction to regression analysis

 

Experiments with a single factor, analysis of variance

 

Experiments with more than one factor, blocking, Latin squares, analysis of variance and covariance, random effects models, other analysis techniques

 

Factorial experiments at two levels, comparison with “one-factor-at-a-time” plans, analysis of location and dispersion, choice of optimal blocking schemes

 

Fractional factorial experiments at two levels, maximum resolution and minimum aberration for choosing optimal designs, choice of optimal blocking schemes

 

Response surface methodology for process optimization and improvement, steepest descent, Newton's method, conjugate gradient
