Since 1965 almost all of the contributions to the design and analysis of factorial experiments have involved fractional factorial plans. These contributions may be categorized by three main classes of ...

Experimentation is a vital part of the scientific method. Most problems in science require observation of the system at work and experimentation to elucidate information about how the system works. In ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Factorial experiments can be set out in row-column designs using the generalized cyclic method of construction. From parallel results on block ...

Methods for designing and analyzing industrial experiments. Blocking; randomization; multiple regression; factorial and fractional factorial experiments; response surface methodology; Taguchi’s robust ...

Ethics committees and funding agencies often receive protocols that involve either too many or too few animals to answer the specific research question being investigated. It is evident that a greater ...

In physical and computer experiments, factorial designs and space-filling designs are frequently employed to explore the relationship between several input factors and a response variable. Several new ...

The classical design (factorial design, response surface design, etc.) may fail to meet our requirements due to an irregular design space, involving categorical variables, a nonstandard model, or ...

Microarray experiments are widely used to quantify and compare gene expression on a large scale, it is therefore important that they are designed with care as aspects of their design will affect the ...
