Sound experimental design is of vital importance when conducting any scientific experiment. Choices made at the design stage have the potential to drastically impact the results of any study. A strong ...

Introductory quantitative skills required to conduct experimental research and analyze resulting data. Principles of measurement, modeling of experimental data, and statistical design of experiments.

This paper describes how incomplete block designs may be used to provide blocking plans for fractions of symmetrical factorial experiments. These designs introduce some replication, but provide a wide ...

Many incomplete block design strategies have been devised to improve the efficiency of experiments. However, the constraints imposed by these designs can be unrealistic because natural blocks may not ...

In this module, we will introduce the basic conceptual framework for experimental design and define the models that will allow us to answer meaningful questions about the differences between group ...

In a randomized complete block design (RCBD), each level of a "treatment" appears once in each block, and each block contains all the treatments. The order of treatments is randomized separately for ...

The U.S. military is moving ahead in its plan to develop a robotic space plane capable of launching payloads to orbit cheaply and efficiently. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has ...
