Ebook: Design and Analysis of Experiments

The second volume of a revision of the 1952 work by Kempthorne (emeritus, statistics, Iowa State U.), now produced with collaboration by Hinkelmann (emeritus, statistics, Virginia Polytechnic U.), this advanced graduate level text provides mathematical coverage of generally applicable experimental designs, especially error control and treatment designs and the connections between them. Emphasizing the historical developments and reasons for the introduction of designs, they first cover incomplete block and row-column designs at varying degrees of specificity. They then introduce factorial designs at two and three levels, symmetrical and asymmetrical factorial designs, and fractional factorial designs. They conclude with discussions of other topics involving factorial designs, including main effect plans and their construction, supersaturated and search designs, lattice designs, and crossover designs that complement optimal incomplete row-column designs with the notion of carryover effects
