Description
Book SynopsisThe outgrowth of more than 40 years of experience teaching and consulting with students and active researchers in many disciplines, this is a useful guide for both students and active researchers to experimental design.
Trade Review"…an excellent reference for statisticians and practitioners who would like to gain broad exposure to the tools available for studying relationships between qualitative and quantitative factors…" (
Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2005)
“The level of detail is higher than in most other books on similar topics and therefore makes this one a useful reference tool.” (Short Book Reviews, Vol.25, No.1, April 2005)
"I will instruct statistician reporting to me to get a copy of the book, and will keep the review copy readily available on my shelf…" (Technometrics, February 2005)
"There is a moderate amount of material that is not in other design books…in addition to some tricks of the trade that appear to be new…practitioners…will find the book useful." (Journal of Quality Technology, October 2004)
"...an excellent resource handbook for researchers and statisticians, providing them with the tools necessary to construct better experiments and plan more efficient investigations.” (CHOICE, October 2004)
