" This is an engaging and informative book on the modern practice of experimental design.
The authors' writing style is entertaining, the consulting dialogs are extremely enjoyable, and …

The past decade has seen rapid advances in the development of new methods for the
design and analysis of split-plot experiments. Unfortunately, the value of these designs for …

Response surface experiments often involve only quantitative factors, and the response is fit
using a full quadratic model in these factors. The term response surface implies that interest …

Factorial designs are widely used in many scientific and industrial investigations. The
objective of this book is to provide a rigorous, systematic, and up-to-date treatment of the …

Use of bacteria in concrete is an eco-friendly technique to enhance concrete durability.
Since the concrete is a dry and alkaline medium, the present study implemented air …

We introduce a new method for generating optimal split-plot designs. These designs are
optimal in the sense that they are efficient for estimating the fixed effects of the statistical …

For robust parameter designs, it has been noted that performing the experiment as a split
plot often provides cost savings and increased efficiency. Thus experiments are often …

Multitiered experiments are characterized by involving multiple randomizations, in a sense
that we make explicit. We compare and contrast six types of multiple randomizations, using a …

In industrial experimentation, there is growing interest in studies that span more than one
processing step. Convenience often dictates restrictions in randomization in passing from …

While the orthogonal design of split-plot fractional factorial experiments has received much
attention already, there are still major voids in the literature. First, designs with one or more …
