Description
Book SynopsisEmphasizes the strategy of experimentation, data analysis, and the interpretation of experimental results. * Features numerous examples using actual engineering and scientific studies. * Presents statistics as an integral component of experimentation from the planning stage to the presentation of the conclusions.
Trade Review"With an excellent presentation, this is suitable as a textbook in a graduate level course in design of experiments." (
