Publisher's Synopsis
"There are several textbooks covering material in design of experiments (DOE). It is a fair question, then, to ask, "Why write another DOE textbook?" One answer is based on the observation that in 2018 over a quarter of the DOE courses taught at the university level rely on course notes rather than a text. We view this as an evidence of pent-up demand for a different kind of textbook than is currently available. A characteristic of many DOE textbooks is that they focus as much or more on analysis than on design. A student might get the impression that there is only one appropriate design for any scenario and this design should be orthogonal. Orthogonal designs have the desirable feature that the analysis of the data generated after running the experiment is less demanding than the analysis of observational data"--.
